Netherlands v Austria, 17 June, 8pm, BBC1

[Lord Camomile]

16 minutes in and no thread??

Guess who took Memphis Depay out of his fantasy team...

I guess maybe Austrians have a right to be a little more upset he scored, but not by much, I think...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, that looked like face and then... ouch

 

[two sheds]

Grrr I'm on a delay here again.

 

[Lord Camomile]

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE TOM JONES JUST FLEW A PLANE ONTO THE PITCH AND PUNCHED SOME MARTIANS LIKE HE DID IN THAT FILM MARS ATTACKS!!

Can. Not. Believe it.

VAR should have a look, though, pretty sure he was offside.

I can believe him being offside, I've just put him in my fantasy team

There's a fantasy thread for fantasy talk

This thread is for serious analysis of a game of actual football.

 

[Maggot]

Depay in the sky!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Depay in the sky!

You work for the Daily Mirror and I claim my 5 Euros.

 

[Rebelda]

I also missed all the Martian kicking

It's so much nicer on the BBC but I do wish they'd poach Wrighty.

Yeah. I was thinking the other day actually, he has been on the BBC previously, right? Probably when they had rights to England qualifiers?

 

[Rebelda]

Yeah I think he has been, so probably. Shearer and Wright together is

He's a regular on MOTD

Wehey great second goal a couple of minutes ago

 

[Lord Camomile]

During half time Lineker was saying you should always take the shot yourself, as only one thing can go wrong (your shot), whereas if you pass two things can (your pass, and their shot) - wonder what he made of that goal

 

[two sheds]

Yes I thought the repeated criticism of the Dutch player passing across goal instead of shooting in the first half was somewhat unfair.

I guess what should we expect from a panel that includes Lineker, Shearer and Hasselbaink..?

 

[two sheds]

Ah I caught the Dutch accent, hadn't realized he was on there.

 

[Lord Camomile]

And yet no Austrian for balance

 

[Lord Camomile]

Seriously, where is everyone this evening? It's the fucking Netherlands!* on prime time TV



*please read this in the same manner as "I'm fucking Edgar Davids", thank you

Seriously, where is everyone this evening? It's the fucking Netherlands!* on prime time TV

Ive been watching and actually desiring a bit of U75 interaction but iPad was just out of reach and I’m a bit knackered after an ill-advised ‘run’. Like Austria, I lack intensity.

I’ve been with you in spirit though.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Austria have tried hard but don't gave the quality. Dutch good and comfortable.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oooh, wos goin' on with the camera?

 

[two sheds]

I don't know, what is going on with the camera?

 

[two sheds]

Ah the big black square you mean?

 

[Rebelda]

People are busy painting their faces and performing rituals ahead of tomorrow maybe

 

[Steel Icarus]

Nice bit of sportsmanship there

 

[purves grundy]

A doddle for the cloggies, that.

Rogue Rectangle again!

Nice bit of sportsmanship there

I liked the Austrian treating the Dutch bloke for cramp

Normally switch off now but I want to know what they say about the pass and goal.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I liked the Austrian treating the Dutch bloke for cramp

Yeah, that's what I was referring to

 

[Sprocket.]

Good game, Austria not playing as well as I expected.
My Dutch former work colleagues will be happy enough though.
