Yellow cards are dished out almost every time for an elbow to the face. Just like diving into tackles. When you donโt win the ball and catches the opponent with a raised boot youโre in the book. Itโs still football and not MMA๐ We'll agree to disagree, as far as I'm concerned Maguire has never been a dirty player and had his eyes on theย ball he uses he's arms to gain momentum like all CB's do.ย Link to post Share on other sites

But it doesnโt happen very often and when it does itโs usually a booking because you always have to look out for your opponent when going in with full force. Itโs not an excuse that you have to jump with your elbows raised. Itโs a risk you take to get more power but when you hit you have to take the penalty for it.ย Link to post Share on other sites

I think itโs disgraceful.ย I agree you should respect other countries national anthems, but you surely can't single England out as the only one, unfortunately there'sย always morons who spoil itย for others.ย Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I watched the England match last night with my girlfriend; the first important match sheย has watched with me in our three and a half years together. Apparently, among other things: Iย lookedย on the verge of tears for most of it, I went a different colour, it was the most aggression I have ever shown, I had a constant sweaty forehead andย was always drying my sweaty palms,ย pushed her hand away several times, and even told ourย cat Polly to "*something*ย off"ย when she incessantly rubbedย against my feetย just beforeย Kane's penalty. I don't think she realises quite how distressing England matches are for us and that this is fairly normal football fan behaviour (well except for poor Polly). Either that or I'm aย bit unhingedย ๐ 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 the ref was totally inconsistent with his decisions all night. he was awful and for me ruining the game somewhat. he stopped it flowing. once a few of the players sussed he was blowing for fook all the exploited it. i was totally baffled when he blew for that freekick dalsgard scored from. the danes were better at conning the ref than us for a while but our star conmen soon got to grips with it and won the game. lol the game itself i though we were the better side and deserved to win, but the danes did really well at breaking things up in midfield and for a while i was getting a bit worried. but then the tried rapidly and in the end we probably could have scored more if we desired to. some of them could barely run in extra time. southgate for all the good he's done is still a right moron tactically. starting with saka ffs. foden and grealish when they came on changed the game for us. cant believe he subbed grealish, what a cock. i hate managers who do that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There are morons everywhere but when did you hear GSTQ being booed by opposition supporters? English fans do it routinely to every opponents National Anthem regardless of who they are but I can't think of the last time I heard opposition fans booing GSTQ. Worse still is that the "minority" now seem to be a quite sizeable and very vocal element. I agree with Anglian Red in that we need far better security and surveillance in Stadia to help identify culprits. Problem is that if they were caught what would they be charged with? I don't think disrespecting a National Anthem is actually a criminal offence and even if it was,ย what punishment would they face to go along with the stereotypical "65 previous other offences" andย therein lies one of the root causes of a lost generation which is now severalย generations. Usual excuses of unemployment and poverty allied to a poor education and ignorance isn't a purely English affliction yet we seem to have spawned a society of untouchable, petulant, self entitled teens, twenty, thirty and forty somethings.ย 2 Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Not quite sure why some find it so hard to see this right now is a problem localised in England, especially during this tournament. If you're bothered about the way people outside our country are perceiving us from the actions of the minority, why would you try and turn it back on those who are making those comments. We can all see and hear it happening, point your fingers at the cretins doing it. If someone boos GSTQ elsewhere, throw them under the bus too. It's just common decency at the end of the day, respecting others' national pride and it costs absolutely nothing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
