25/26 - Non Saints Games

[Dr Who?]

On the live reporting on the BBC you can tell there are loads of Liverpool fans “watching” for the amount of thumbs down 👎 on the pro City or negative Liverpool comments. Sad state of affairs and the reason I cannot stand them. All but 2 of the probably 20/25 or so Liverpool fans I know are actually from Liverpool. The others are Southampton, Reading, Guildford, Royston, Cambridge and Carlisle. 

To be fair there are loads in Carlisle from the 70s and 80s, mixed now with Man U and Man City!

McCarthy would have saved that Doku goal.

Watching the first half hour of the England game tonight is like watching Saints on a bad day. 🙁

Edit......And one minute after I posted above Saka puts England ahead. 😊

Serbian goalkeeper just made Baz and Mccarthy look competant

What I particularly like with Tuchel as manager, he does not seem to pander too much towards the 'hype' players or the media.

He will drop some if needed, and he is pretty straight with the moronic journos who seem to want Cole, Bellingham and Foden in the same team....Just wait until Grealish has another 7/10 game for Everton, they will be wanting him back in also.

No Ryan Manning in the RoI team? Plus Azaz has a booking.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Cristiano Ronaldo is a bit of a fanny isn’t he.

Elbows Irish player of the ball. Crying gesture to the Irish fans. Goes to VAR. Straight red card. Irish fans give him the crying gesture back whilst singing Lionel Messi’s name.

Some say he is still be consoled by Piers Morgan.

Che Adams doing Che Adams tings 🫡

[LiberalCommunist]

The utter state of Dykes. Looks like a proper smack head. 

[HKsaint]

B. Brereton scored for Chile. Doubt why he couldn’t score for us.

I hadn't seen the score so went for a look. From The Guardian report:

The lack of proper threat provided by Adams is a regular source of Scotland weakness.

To be fair, like Saints, Scotland are not blessed with a wealth of quality centre forwards.

[Saint NL]

Spertsyan scores against Portugal

[Saint NL]

Watching Azaz play for Ireland. He's not very good, is he?

[Saint NL]

Nice assist from Azaz to make it 2-2.

First thing he's done all game

Unlike Scotland, we have the option to buy in talent from wherever it can be found - we just seem to have no idea how to do it.

Unbelievable ending for Ireland, Manning, Azaz and even sub Baz must be buzzing after that

Interesting comment from the BBC website:

Didi Hamann
Former Germany midfielder on RTE Sport

When Finn Azaz was moved to the middle, it changed the game.

Almost as if we should give him a go in the position he actually plays. Might be an idea.

Yeah hardly rocket science is it.

Stop using common sense, this is a Sport Republic club.

I'm struggling to watch other teams play, because I'm getting jealous rage about every other team ever has a -at minimum- half decent goalkeeper. Its actually starting to get me down.

Can anyone recommend a team that has a worst keeper than us for me to indulge in?

To be fair the Sheffield Wednesday keeper was fucking awful.

Seems that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree with Jude Bellendingham.

I get that top players don’t like being subbed etc, but this lad thinks he is bigger and better than everyone else.

the team, without him, are bang on form, and the players in his position are delivering, what does he think it all revolves around him?

Kane is clearly undroppable, and possibly Rice. 
 

other than that, the rest have players ready to come in and be there or thereabouts.

Storm in a teacup, click bait for The Guardian. You clicked, I didn't.
