Today's Game

[milkcrate_mosh]

Linked with Maehle and Ruslan Malinovski (Ukraine) in a double deal at Genk who both ended up at atalanta I seem to remember. Either would have been a cracking signing in retrospect.

[claretblue]

We were linked with Maehle a few years ago, looks a real player.

still interested!

[yTib]

was he really offside?

edit: no he wasn't.

[taio]

Taio

Are u being serious when u say which wales v Belgium game are u talking about ????!!!!

The last euros when wales knocked Belgium out 3-1 and got to the semi finals !!!!!!!!!!

No.

I don't believe Wales have been bigging themselves up based on that excellent victory 5 years ago.

If they have then today's game will bring them back down to earth.

[Rileybobs]

4-0. I can’t see a way back now.

[taio]

Wales hammered.

[yTib]

wales just didn't turn up.

denmark on the other hand were pretty good.

[Buxtonclaret]

Premier League time VAR goal.

[Vegas Claret]

I'm still really pleased we didn't get Wilson, I genuinely don't see the fuss about this lad at all

[boatshed bill]

Why did Page choose to switch Mason and Bale? They were doing quite well in the first half.
And Moore may as well have gone off as soon as he got his yellow card.

[HunterST_BFC]

Davies had a shocker.

[Spijed]

Have UEFA changed the rules in that any soft foul from behind is now a red card?

[ClaretMat]

Cant ever remember seeing Davies play that badly.
Hopefully that's the end of this referees competition though, some shocking decisions which should have been overturned.

[SalisburyClaret]

An appalling game by the ref- easily the worst in the Tournament

[NewClaret]

I'm still really pleased we didn't get Wilson, I genuinely don't see the fuss about this lad at all

Me either. Think Dyche got that one right.

[Rileybobs]

Whilst I don’t think the rules allow for that to be a red card, I would have no problem with deliberate fouls with no intention of playing the ball to be punished as such. Similar situation to Brady’s red against Huddersfield although he clearly made more contact with the opposition.

[yTib]

slightly ignorant from bale there.

[Winstonswhite]

Come off it. I’m not his biggest fan but he’s gutted to have been knocked out then someone’s asking him if he’s going to retire, so he’s walked off. Fair enough.

a journalist doing his job by asking questions that some people would like to know the answers to?

never.

[Winstonswhite]

I sportsman being p!sssd off and gutted he’s been knocked out of a competition. Never!!

well i did say slightly ignorant

[elwaclaret]

well i did say slightly ignorant

Petulant?

[Conroysleftfoot]

Impressed with Ashley Williams in the BBC Studio. Obviously disappointed with the result but very good with his analysis.

[Vegas Claret]

no ignorance, Bale doesn't owe anyone an answer to any question, he's not contracted to be there in the first place. Knobhead question imho

[yTib]

Petulant?

yeah i can go with that

[yTib]

knobhead question? god.

some of these football players and their egos.

he hardly asked him for photos of his wife's tits.

what a precious world we live in.

[evensteadiereddie]

At least the interviewer didn't ask Bale how he was feeling..............Bale, as we saw in the huddles/pep talks is an inspirational figure and cares massively about his country and his team mates. To be asked such a crass question after a particularly unpleasant defeat was pretty poor, I thought. I don't blame him for making the interviewer look a ****.

[Dark Cloud]

Howler from the ref (re foul on Moore) and then another from Williams was what sealed it for Wales unfortunately when a bright start to the second half could have really changed things for them. (BTW isn't it Williams brother who is in our U23's?)

[Winstonswhite]

I’m not sticking up for Bale, but surely this is the complete opposite of “ego”

He’s walked off because “there’s a time and a place to answer questions about me and my career...This is about Wales and how we’ve been knocked out of the Euros.” .

Just my take on it anyway.

Has his wife got nice tits?

[yTib]

never seen 'em but probably.

[tiger76]

Which Wales v Belgium game are you referring to?

2016 Euro quarter-final when they won 3-1, and deservedly so.

[tiger76]

I sportsman being p!sssd off and gutted he’s been knocked out of a competition. Never!!

I don't mind him showing passion, at least he actually gives a toss, unlike some in the England squad.

And yes it was a stupid question.

[Rileybobs]

Who in the England squad don’t give a toss, out of interest?

nothing better in International footy than watching the Italians sing their National Anthem, bloody superb

Judging by his performances thus far Harry Kane doesn't look interested, and Reece James, Marcus Rashford & Kyle Walker aren't exactly bursting their guts out are they, a bit of passion wouldn't go amiss would it, or are they all too busy counting their millions in the bank to care about representing their country, I've shown more passion in a paper bag then what those 4 have shown during the tournament so far, mind you with the wet blanket GS in charge I can't say it surprises me in the least, he's hardly an inspiring figure is he.

What a load of nonsense. And made more so by the fact that you used the ‘passion’ of the Wales players who put in as gutless a performance as you’re likely to see as a stick to beat the English players with.

Edit - and made even more comical by you suggesting the England players are counting their wealth whilst praising Bale for having passion. The Gareth Bale.

You ain't half spouting some rubbish lately. They are out there desperately trying to win the tournament whilst you are whining and moaning like a little child on a messageboard

[yTib]

i don't think passion is the problem for the english lads; i think it's more a combination of clueless tactics and an obvious lack of fitness.

kane doesn't lack passion at the moment. what he lacks is legs.

[boatshed bill]

Who does Sabitsa (sp) play for? He's decent.

[Buxtonclaret]

This Italy/Austria game is a decent watch up to now.

!uck me we’ve conceded zero goals and won the group. You don’t ask for much do you?!

[Claret]

this ref (Italy game) is giving loads of really soft fouls - so soft that they’re not really fouls at all. I wonder if he’ll give a penalty when one of these incidents happens in the penalty area.
There’s also loads of play acting which is really getting on my tits

[yTib]

you don’t ask for much do you?!

i really don't.

[boatshed bill]

Not much to see lately, apart from one shot from that immobile bloke

[yTib]

yeah that ref is gash.

[beddie]

I don’t get this injury time. Taylor blew for a foul on 44mins and 45 sec, the injury continued and 1 min shows for injury time. The game then restarts on 46mins and 15 sec, on 46 mins and 35 sec Taylor blows for half time. I calculate that half time should have been on 47 mins and 15 secs. Have I got that wrong?

Denmark breaking European Championship record after record , what a story !

[ClaretTony]

Cobh Ramblers v Wexford ....7pm. Come on you Cobh.

Cobh won 3-2

[tiger76]

Denmark breaking European Championship record after record , what a story !

Indeed! it's some tale, and if they can go all the way it'll be some journey, on that display they'll prove a match for anyone left in the competition, that was as complete a 90 minute team display as you'll see, solid at the back, dominant in midfield, and ruthless in their finishing.
