The attacking player handled it before the defending player. I'm not giving that one either TBH.

He did not.

You have to admire Spurs really. Spent well north of £300m on players coming in this summer and still no wins and bottom of the league after 5 games. That takes something special! 👏

Well there was the offside decision in last weeks Manchester derby they somehow got wrong but the ball hits the back of Le Fee’s hand/forearm, the laws of the game are being applied correctly.

He doesn't.

Here we go... The "bigger clubs" getting away with resting players... Oops, sorry... Recalling 'injured' players... Whilst the likes of Saints have no choice but to risk their better players getting injured on international duty (in the build up to a "must win" match)...

Gibbs-White must feel so loved by that lanky German twat

[AlexLaw76]

Rice not participating I get. He seems to play every minute of every game.

To be fair to Livramento, if the rest of his career is a guide then he almost certainly is injured

Interesting comments regarding Ireland playing Israel made by the Irish manager. States in the BBC article he spoke to players individually about playing, where apparently "none of us feel comfortable playing in these games". Presumably that includes Azaz and Manning? Not the kind of thing I'd want my Israeli team-mates to be hearing.

There's loads of political pressure in Ireland for them to denounce Israel and support "free Palestine", look at the flags at Celtic games as well. Its like the Ed Sheeran nonsense, manager will be terrified of saying the wrong thing and the social media mob being unleashed on him 

I'm sure Manning and Azaz will have a good laugh with Peretz at the games

Irish have always been sanctimonious cunts

They have a lot you could criticise them for , I'm not sure this is one of them . Despite the often refrain that sport is above politics  this is not actually the case.

The Olympics is a fine example of how dodgy regimes want to claim their regime is the best . Starts with dragooning hundreds of infants to spend every day doing impossible exercises just in case they turn out to be medal winning gymnasts . Plus drug regimes on an industrial scale . 

You could write pages and pages about this , Israel is a particularly sensitive case at the moment due to their declared aim of ridding Palestine of all Palestinians / Arabs , this of course is not in any way condoning the lunatic behaviour of Hamas that kicked it all off for the umpteenth time . It kind of goes back to post WW2 when terrorists , on both sides wanted British rule to end . After the 1948 war over 70 % of Palestinians were  ejected or fled the war . When the war was over the new Israeli Govt let by their terrorist group leaders , refused any Palestinians from returning to Palestine , so they became refugees in neighbouring countries and low and behold bred numerous terrorist cells etc.

At least a bit of good news on what is likely to be a shitty day.

[trousers]

Nice goal...

Manning on bench

Been watching the Georgia v Norn Ireland game. Very impressed with Pierce Charles in goal, Shea’s brother obvs. Always thought he looked decent but a bit small and potentially a bit of the Bazunus about him (great with his feet etc). But fair play, he’s having a very decent game out there.

[The Kraken]

And Shea Charles bangs in a winner in the 98th minute!

[danjosaint]

Well we know the FA are absolutely useless bastards, well they've done it again which could cause massive issues moving forward, an fa cup tie was won by Mulbarton over Woodford 2v1 but after the game Woodford complained the ref got a decision wrong disallowing a penalty so the Fa have decided he did so have told them they have to replay the game , so every ref mistake in future would lead teams to seek a replay 

[Britannia]

Is this where we are now, that most of the interntional matches are Pay Per View?

Dear oh dear Guehi 🤦

[sockeye]

Pathetic from England

Though Gordon almost had a handy assist

[Sheaf Saint]

Since that shocking start, I think this has actually been a decent performance from England.

And that's a fucking peach of a goal!

[sockeye]

lovely goal!

[sockeye]

You can stick your paella up your... 🎵🎶

[Turkish]

I was just thinking how well Nico O’Reily had done then does that 🤦‍♂️

[whelk]

All Man City and ex players making fuck ups if count Rodri conceding pen. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Both goals conceded by defender inability to dribble ball anywhere to pass or kick out to touch. £20m a year and cant do basics. All the work upfront  getting goals vs poor defenders atback. Time to get a 3rd unless Tuchel does an Argentina 

[Sheaf Saint]

Good game this.

[Saint Billy]

I didn't know that RM is England's defensive coach.

[Britannia]

Some astonishing defending really.

[whelk]

Get a load of centre backs on FFS

Very good game, you just knew that penalty would decided the result. Spain at times wonderful but we’ve been good too.

Yep. Superb game of football. Best I've watched in a long time. 

[Sheaf Saint]

If only we could have played that positively against Argentina in the semi final. 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Yep played well. Gave Spain a good game.

Just knew Kane would not score the penalty.

Shame really.
