[Football] Germany v Spain

[Swansman]

Or Ceuta. Or Melilla. Oh, hang on a minute ….

In summary, both you and the spaniards should go home

 

[Swansman]

Don't care as long as both teams score. An 8 match BTTS accy riding on this one.

Chances still good... I think somewhere around 70% of the games so far have been 0-0 at half time.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

VAR check done within seconds unlike our lot who spend ten minutes on a simple decision.

Dutch VAR, it was always going to be offside.

Yes.

Bloody Dutch.

That, and the fact that it was offside.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Good to see that Shearer has been roped into the odd co-commentary role in order to justify his massive BBC fee

It's a bit of a sausage-fest tonight on the commentary team, BBC slipped up. Doesn't happen very often to be fair.

That is a very interesting response. The Gibraltarians are consistently and passionately against being forced to be a part of Spain and positively want to remain tied to the United Kingdom. Maybe years of sieges, attacks across several wars, closed borders for 16 years up until 1985, and general daily ongoing (passive) aggressive behaviour from Madrid towards their neighbours across political, sporting and cultural spheres has influenced that a tad. But we’ll go with your idea of forcing them to be part of Spain against their wishes shall we? In other news, Ukraine will soon revert to being part of the new Soviet Union, its for their own good, allegedly….

... but Melilla and Ceuta wants to remain Spanish, yet you see it as a problem that they don't belong to Morocco while it is perfectly fine that Gibraltar doesn't belong to Spain?

 

[Pevenseagull]

These aren't that good.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Spanish keeper dicking around at the back.

And again…

 

[Pevenseagull]

Shearer's commentary sound like he has a drawstring in his back that activates random inane bollocks.

Spain 1-0

Bit of an odd comment. Most of these guys are contractors. Ian Wright manages to work for BBC and ITV. Neville for Sky, ITV and Bein. They’re not on peanuts for that

Yep….loads bouncing between both TV and radio stations.

On that point, Matt Upson was on BBC5 Live for the 4pm game, he was excellent. One of the best I’ve heard so far.

 

[Bozza]

Wonderful football for that nearly-second.

No, I’m highlighting that Spain is aggressively against the status of Gibraltar, despite its peoples wishes, but does not apply that same logic to Ceuta and Melilla, which is hypocritical.

I find Upson and Murray really good, but I am biased
