Re: EUROS FINAL. ENGLAND v SPAIN

:thumbup:var has ruined it, the ref shits out when they are called to watch it on the monitor every time i cant remember one thats stuck with original call, should be used for offside only

I’m pretty sure Michael Oliver awarded a penalty in an EPL game, was called to the screen to review it but stuck with his original decision. That’s the only example I can think of.

I’ve said it many, many times, but I firmly believe VAR should be scrapped completely. I can’t stand it.

Seconded.

The system they have in in rugby works well, but VAR is a disaster.

Looks like England are set to do a Greece.

Doing a bit of a disservice to Greece there. Rank outsiders pulling off a miracle vs the pre tournament favourites with comfortably the most expensive and best squad

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

Poor with 3 goals though, could won golden boot .

Carrying an injury, is a bit like Bale at the end of his Welsh career he was always going to be picked .
Kane is a tallysman captain , massive experience in tournaments, he is always doubled up by defenders , inspiration to young squad playaers , oppositions fear him .

most England fans I know are now hoping that Kane is dropped for the final (although they know he won't be)
it's clear England have a much better shape when he isn't on the pitch.
I've been saying it since the first match of the tournament

He ambles around like an old man at times.
Looks a shadow of the player who's terrorised the Bundesliga.

Re: EUROS FINAL. ENGLAND v SPAIN

Was flying last night during the game so 1st time I've seen the highlights this morning.

Read the comments here 1st and was expecting some horror decision against the Dutch.

As soon as VAR gets involved that's a pen. He's studs up. Others have said to be fair there be no complaints outside the box.

It's soft but with the rules and VAR it's hardly the horror decision some are making out.

I think if they give each team 2 VAR appeals per game they can use, it would be much better. default to the on field decision and if there's a dubious call the team can request a car review

I agree with this. I think it's just down to anything that the FA, FIFA, UEFA touch turns to sh*t. It should be an amazing piece of technology. See cricket, tennis and rugby. Think about that Chelsea goal when we were in the PL. Everyone was screaming for it then.

I understand what you're saying, but England played their best 45 minutes of the tournament during the first half last night with Kane on the pitch. He was fouled for the penalty and scored it. There's also a reasonable chance that he could end up with the Golden Boot on Sunday.

My feeling was that he played well enough last night overall and the shape of the team was good until the Dutch closed down the midfield, but I felt he should have come off earlier.

That Greece win was something else. I loved that tournament.

You know Kane will now score the winner in the final don't you?! It is written.

Re: EUROS FINAL. ENGLAND v SPAIN

Anywhere else on the pitch that would have been a free kick to the Netherlands. Maybe if Dumfries had stayed down the same way that Kane did it may have been seen differently, but then England fans would have accused the ref of being corrupt.
There was no clear and obvious error, so it shouldn't have been given.

Typing error surely?

How anywhere else on the pitch and it's a free kick to the Dutch?

Re: EUROS thread. The semi finals

I think the officials’ logic was that Dumfries had his studs up and it was therefore dangerous play. Not a penalty in my book, although if the same incident had happened anywhere else on the field and a free kick had been awarded, I doubt anyone would have objected.

If it happened anywhere else on the pitch I suppose it could be considered a late tackle even though it was Kane who actually made the contact. However, in this instance, Kane had had his shot and the ball was out of play.
