There's one at this match.

It was playing 2 Un-f*cking-limited a few mins ago.

Johner

That's shocking from Ramsay.

Joe Allen is such a lovely footballer. I've seriously underestimated him at Liverpool for so long. I really wish he was staying.

The soccer ones are no different. Utterly useless

I've seen GAA umpires make plenty of important contributions over the years, I accept that some of them are useless though. But they don't hold a candle to the total incompetence with the lads holding their magic wands in soccer.

the 5th official gave the penalty last night to Romania I thought...

That is what it is meant to be in the ground but it seems they have the broadcast stream with replays

I say fair play to them showing the replays. 98% of fans can handle themsleves and want to see the replay good or bad. why give into the 1 or 2% of numbskulls who shouldn't be in the ground if they want to start a riot over a ref decision.

On first look it was a pen, but I can see why he might not have given it even if he was standing there. plus, the Welsh player wasn't gonna get to it - which doesn't make it right decision, but it was hardly a totally nailed on penalty

You minimise risk you don't just go ah fcuk it

Bale doesn't look bothered. Is he carrying any knocks? Just isn't really running much...

Bale plays like that all the time for Madrid. When he gets space he will be explosive. Has also more skills up his locker this year. Needs that in a very technical Spanish league

briany

So far.....Reason to fear Wales in the WC Qualifiers?

irishguitarlad

Wales are playing sloppy which tells you about slovakia, they are dire

Johner

Slovakia looking a bit dangerous now.

blueser

"Wales nearly beat the all blacks this morning". Er, no they didn't.

Don't care.

Hate that stupid noise.

Could only imagine if Skrtel had scored that....

Johner

Great run from Skrtyl. :pac:

I wasn't defending it- just explaining it

Weiss has been excellent. Slovakia been very good bar ten minutes either side of the goal.

Skrtel is an idiot. Every game he plays, he defends like he actually wants to give away a penalty.

Mr.Nice Guy

Ramsey's worked hard for the cause.

Paully D

Jonny Williams is only 22 :eek: He'd pass for 42!

The Talking Bread

Like to see Bale running more at the Slovak defence. He is often wasted in the centre. Especially in a welsh team with very little other intensive attackers to accomodate him there.

Mec27

24 teams is so good, well done UEFA.

They really haven't.

The elbow in question.



Dumb ref making a balls of the gif as well as the decision. That's a straight red card if ever I saw one.

Apparently you cant say that because he has made a fool of himself with the bottle of chemicals. He is not anywhere near his potential but still works hard although I anticipate whatever he does he will always be judged on the fact he peaked all those seasons ago!

Slovakia have been dire. Skrtel should have walked. The most obvious penalty and red card I have seen missed by the officials in a match in a long time.

Working hard but himself and bale(apart from the goal) have been sloppy, allan looking very good, whilst gunter needs to improve the final ball.

Yeah, whoever came up with this concept, however silly and strange it appeared at the time, deserves a huge pat on the back. Almost every team in the groups stage have a decent opportunity to progress.

They spent less than 2 minutes speaking about Albania and Switzerland prior to their game because none of the panel knew anything about either side and clearly hadn't bothered to do any research. The 40 minutes pre-match was spent talking about Wales and England.

Haha Duffer, a fifth official in another life.

Should have been red for skrtel

How on earth did he not get sent off

Damien Duff: I'm gonna come back in the after-life as one of these goal line officials. They get to travel the world, see games up close and personal and do absolutely nothing.

It wasn't missed by the officials the idiot at the side of the goal saw it, he was 2 yards away.

Angron

Feck, I missed that elbow. Skrtel should be gone after that, blatantly swung for him.

Have to say, really enjoying Duffer so far in the Euros. Nice and honest.

Enjoying Duff's analysis. Talks common sense and doesn't mince his words.

The Talking Bread

Only saw Skrtel elbow properly there. What an absolute cnut. Love to see him, Pepe, Marcello and Diego Costa in a fight to the death royal rumble. Throw in Terry and Cole for a bit of English representation............

GreNoLi

Slovakian keeper's kicking technique is awful.

Yeah, he mixes in some humour as well and is very relaxed and has no agenda or playing to the camera.
A bit too relaxed would be his only flaw in the role and often neutral on issues. (ie too sound!!)
Cant see him getting drawn into any serious heated debate
