GB V Uruguay (men's football)

[Maltin]

No Giggs. Going to be a difficult game

 

[editor]

Damn. Giggs has been the absolute linchpin for GB.

 

[Maltin]

Would have been good for him to start in Cardiff. They reckon he might come on as sub.

 

[editor]

Bright start.

 

[Maltin]

Good end to the half and have looked pretty composed and unthreatened so far.

 

[editor]

Not sure why the commentators are being so dour. I thought it wasn't a bad half.

 

[editor]

Ramsey and Bellamy are playing superbly.

 

[Maltin]

Weren't the refs wearing yellow in the first half?

 

[Maltin]

Thought that was definitely 1-1. Well done Butland.

 

[twentythreedom]

uraguay goalie in yellow, guess that's why ref changed colour?

That is what I assume. Strange they didn't notice it earlier if that is the case though.

 

[editor]

Another great save by Butland.

The crowd at the Millenium is disgracing itself in the non-booing of Suarez, IMHO.

I'm rather proud of them booing the racist twat myself.

 

[Maltin]

Uruguay are looking pretty threatening. If GB don't do something, reckon we might concede soon.

 

[editor]

Team GB are suddenly looking very tired and vulnerable. Gotta be time for a sub.

I hope you'll be booing Bellamy like all the manc cocks were at OT.

 

[Maltin]

Handball twice by him now.

Stop calling them Team GB it's just Great Britain!

Its the standard of booing that I have the problem with - its much less noticeable than it has been in the other games Uruguay have been involved in, in fact all people seem to be doing is laughing at him whenever he misses. Even that laughable attempt of his to get out of being booked for handball resulted in derisory amounts of noise.

From the Guardian:
Olympic men's football: Team GB 1-0 Uruguay – live!

 

[editor]

Great performance from Bellamy again.

 

[editor]

I think I may have lip-read a swear word or two then

 

[Maltin]

Bellamys been the best player in the tournament for GB in my opinion so far.

Not sure about his attitude though. Think he just told the ref to "fuck off, you wanker" after being pushed to hurry up.

 

[twentythreedom]

That was funny, ref was a bit keen imo. Who's got the armband now?

 

[editor]

Handbags!

 

[agricola]

I hope you'll be booing Bellamy like all the manc cocks were at OT.

I am saving my boos for the next time I see Gareth Bale, who of course cried off the one international tournament finals that he might have made an appearance at in order to get hacked down by Charlie Adam again.

 

[editor]

Tense ending!

 

[editor]

Another great save. Great result.

 

[Maltin]

Another good save from Butland.
