I was genuinely pleased for Wales and how far they progressed in this tournament but the celebrations on their return to Cardiff struck me as a bit over the top for a team that only reached the last 4

I'm glad i'm not the only one that thought so.

It's like a poor side reaching a champions league semi final and then having a major celebration after going out.

He can try booking players for booting hazard all over the pitch, and send players off that deserved it. Hes a preening, poncing, look at me twat.

He was rubbernecking the big stadium screen when the camera went in close up on him in his last game, his eyes glanced up and then quickly looked away, tried looking cool, but he'll never live down the horse impression he did

There is also this.



I mean, what the hell is he even doing here ? he must have been on something because i can't think of any reason why anyone in a normal state would ever do this.

Can't think of a French player that I dislike. Even though you have Spurs and Arsenal players in the team. I have nothing against Lloris, Koscielny or Giroud. Would prefer France to beat Portugal. The look of delight on Pepe's face during the Wales game is something I don't want to see again.

I think Evra is a bit of a twat.

 
Hopefully this replay ends the debate about the Schweinsteiger handball. After seeing this, it's hard to argue that it wasn't a penalty. Phenomenal gutsy call by the linesman. (It was the linesman who noticed it and told the referee.)

Up until that point France were not in the game, I hate the way the game turned on that call. It's a shame they can't see every incident, the amount of players getting away with things, especially at corners and free kicks, shirt pulling, grabbing players and throwing them down, arms all around a player, it could easily be cleaned up with a few consistent penalties and red cards. It just leaves a sour taste in the mouth when the home nation get all the hawk eye officials. Where were they when Lampard........

Had a terrible first half to the Cup final but was much better second and widely praised for the CL game

What's the issue with him?

The fact that he shows he can be a good ref, and that means in the PL he just decides not to be.

Can't argue with that. If Germany were the host nation, I have a feeling the linesman would have stayed quiet or subconsciously not noticed it. I posted the replay to show that the call was the right one, not to suggest that all the other calls were also right.

Precisely. He was good in the Champions League final and has been good this tournament. Yet just weeks earlier, he was sh*t in the FA final and our match against Spurs. It's impossible for an experienced referee to go from being sh*t one week to suddenly being very good. I don't know if it's intentional or even conscious, but something doesn't make sense.

I'm sure he's extremely deft politically as well. A lot of these decisions are influenced by factors other than merit.

Heres hoping les blue's win this....looking forward to seeing Ronaldo shed a tear or two....

 
Sissoko is a horrible player. He will play well for his country, but as soon as he returns to club football, he doesn't put in half the effort.

 
Shame for the game he's going off, can see how gutted he is too.
