[London Irish]

Wouldn’t mind but it was two England centre forward goals, Jack Charlton would be weeping. 5 minutes of injury time 96th minute winner, **** you ref

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

In fairness, he's just become the greatest International goalscorer in the history of Association Football.

But he is one huge cock.

 

[Easy 10]

A minimum of 5 extra minutes.

Can't wait for first agricultural tackle on the ****

Great experience for Duffy prior to our two matches against Utd. Lot’s of lessons to learn about Ronaldo’s huge aerial threat.

 

[portslade seagull]

Connolly was Ireland’s most dangerous striker.

Really, just kept up his penchant for falling over to much and missing easy chances

A minimum of 5 extra minutes.

But during that 5 minutes there should have been reasons for him to extend it as much as he did.

 

[London Irish]

This is Thierry Henry territory when you think the ref and VAR robbed them of a clear penalty for 2-0

 

[Easy 10]

They were doing well, till Connolly went off.

We all know how it goes. If a team is on the attack, the ref will usually let it play out till the ball goes dead. Maybe it should be an official rule, like in rugby.

There was a VAR check during the 5 added minutes, that accounted for the 30 seconds, to be honest.

Was just about to post is the ref letting the match carry on so Portugal can score again and it seemed he actually was.

Shocking display by the match officials - way above injury time in the first half because Portugal were attacking - added added time at the end because Portugal were attacking - every time a Portuguese player fell over in the box there was a VAR review (including the penalty they got despite the fact that Hendrick got the ball and made no contact) and when Connolly gets shoved off the ball 6yards out from Portugal's goal there is no review. If there was ever a demonstration of the officials favouring the top ten team against a team 50 places below them - then this was it - and this is happening more and more often.

The Irish were magnificent - and I have been a harsh critic of Kenny - but this team came to play. They attacked when they could and they defended like demons. Egan demonstrated tonight that he is PL quality, Duffy was great, Omobamidele was brilliant when he came on, Idah led the line magnificently, Bazunu made two world class saves, Doherty and Coleman controlled everything that came their way, Josh Cullen showed why West Ham should never have let him leave. They frustrated a Portugal team who thought all they had to do was show up and they were a credit to their craft. This Irish team has a bright future with some great players coming through.

Would the VAR check add a further minute? Does that count as a stoppage? Gutted for (COY)BIG

Wow, wow, wow

What a player Ronaldo still is, absolutely breathtaking, can't wait to see him grace the PL again.

This.

They even tried there best to see if the keeper moved for the penalty. The VAR alone for that was over 30 secs. All the checks put together for a challenge on Ireland didn't amount to that.

Great player - but he should not have been on the pitch - he punched Dara O'Shea in the shoulder while the VAR review for the penalty was taking place.

Oh it's going to be un****ingbearable all sodding season. They'll be adding half an hour to MOTD each week to analyse his every look/touch/hairless chest

Andi Zeqiri on the bench for Switzerland for their friendly against Greece.

Zeqiri came on in the 69th minute in a 2-1 win for the Swiss.

 

[Swansman]

To be fair, they're just confirming what we've known for a while now - he's shite.

You are shite.
