His son is playing a blinder IMHO
Ref's a cheat
that ref is a complete kent
Daft challenge to make when the ball was always going through to Ward
It's all rotten to the core.Quote:

Groundstaff need to get the corner flags in sharpish after the final whistle.

No point bringing on Moore as this Ref will probably send him off for jumping
Not having the courage to go and win a game when you are on top, come out in the 2nd half playing in our own half players frightened to death to go over the half way line and conceding the field.no need to make that challenge and give an awful ref the opportunity to award the pen, campaign has seen too much negative play/tactics, we can still Nick it but would be undeserved
crap officials are ruining football and tonight has been insane
agree....Quote:

I've yet to see any angle of the incident that shows Davies making any meaningful challenge at all, he just stands his ground and the Turkish player threw himself to the ground after running into him. Complete joke of a decision.Quote:

Frustrating that we’ve buggered up against the supposed lesser sides in the group. Not just frustrating, bloody annoying!!!

Overall a decent performance though and on another night we would have had at least one pen.
With home advantage we have a real chance in the semi final.
Fingers crossed for a home draw should we reach the final
This bunch don't deserve to be anywhere near the euros next year.
Could Ward going up after signal from Page knowing the win was his only hope of keeping his job?
I think Page is safe until the conclusion of the play offs.
He should beQuote:

At least the ref didn’t cost us qualification as Croatia won but how can he give such an important decision on such a marginal contact, the replay showed Davies barely touched him and he just threw himself to the floor. Yet Johnson was pushed over two hands on his back and nothing given? Bizarre refereeing! Let’s hope we don’t get him in the play offs
First half was very good but we lost our way 2nd half though looked reasonably comfortable at the back . Having Ramsey back in that side will give us a huge boost as we lack presence in midfield
So I’m reading on X that there was VAR?
Perhaps, but isn't this what VAR should be helping with? None of those 4 penalty decisions were looked at again. I'm not a fan of VAR but that's also partly due to way it's not evenly used. All of those would have been looked at in a PL gameQuote:

Shocking there were no reviews of the penalty appeals. Absolutely not good enough.
Playoff draw's 11am on Thursday.
I think it’s been obvious for a long time (maybe from the start) isnt and never will be a competent manager and any decent level. I don’t even think Turkey are that good and Croatia certainly not the team they used to be. That’s before considering the awful results against Armenia. That’s just this qualifying, so many tactical f## ups.
