So today’s referees are worse than the ones in the 1960s and 70s?

They are not ever refereeing the same sport.

That's a red for over dramatising if ever there was one.

I don't know! what do you think?

I think players cheat more now than they used to back then, and that makes this generation of referee's job harder. Players cheat more because they are allowed to. Refs have not only let them get away with it, they have encouraged it, by generally only giving free kicks when a player goes down.

It's like in the box, they'll only give a penalty if it's "absolutely certain". Do you give a foul elsewhere if you only "think" it's a foul? and they only seem to want to give a penalty if the player goes down, even if there's a clear foul and the player has managed to carry on.

I just want to say how great I think Gareth Southgate is. He is so relaxed and casual and always talks sense. So far, probably one of the best managers we have had for a long time and he is English.

This game this afternoon is f*cking dreadful. I hope our game tonight is better.

Going to be f**king tedious if we get Sweden isn't it.

If we go through, of course.

Bristol Red Rover · « **Reply #487 on** July 03, 2018, 05:01:55 pm by Bristol Red Rover »

There were a few moments, but way too much ponderous decision making and fearful passing it back when a cut and thrust through ball was on. Which has been my biggest gripe with Rovers over most seasons since the demise of the Red Arrrows. Something about McCann suggests he's going to kick ass with the players and try and avoid that style.

apart from predicting the the eventual winnners would be Sw...... i fully expected this to be a flask and sandwich job 0-0 extra time penalties etc etc -and had absolutely no intention of watching it - even in the current climate watching the grass "not grow" seems to have been more exciting. perhaps the CIA could use a video of the match "to achieve their aims" in future instead of "waterboarding" ...... there is afterall a shortage of water

as for tonites match the team representing England has a thing called pace (making its belated debut at the world cup) Lingard has that but sadly needs a sat nav in his head to show him where the goal is for the easy chances but he will always more likely score the hard ones.

Sweden lost to Germany.

On the subject of “the modern game”, it has become ridiculous how players scream out in pain when they get clipped, as though they are mortally injured.

That didn’t happen in years gone by.

didn't realize that Sanchez is the bloke that plays for tottenham - i've always thought he thinks he is better than he really is meaning he is in present world cup terminology he's Boeteng in disguise - a mistake just waiting to happen let's just hope tonites the nite folks

Get Sterling off ffs!

I'm sure Columbia will kick him off for you. They nearly did for Alli

VAR letting us down again, a clear red card for the headbut

Get the blinkers off.
I bet you were going to write that tonight come what may.

Alli has been way worse than Sterling, at least Sterling is getting involved. We started well but faded a bit, hopefully we’ll come out fighting again second half.

Cantley Rover · « **Reply #500 on** July 03, 2018, 08:12:02 pm by Cantley Rover »

Why does Sterling insist on hitting the ball at the oppositions legs all the time?

Why are referees so f**king spineless. Give them a yellow card when they surround you. Cheating bas**rds.

CottyRover · « **Reply #504 on** July 03, 2018, 08:21:33 pm by CottyRover »

Justice has been done. The behaviour of the Columbians is appalling

Baccalaureate on 2 seconds and already a yellow card!

England are really impressing me how they're keeping their composure and control, it's a good sign for a young team.

Wow, didn’t expected for Colombia to score

Its to be hoped we get another penalty as its the only way we will score.
