Scotland v Hungary, 23JUN 8pm

[Lord Camomile]

He seemed to be knocked out as the players quickly put him on his side.

Initially I thought he looked to be conscious, eyes open and moving his arm, though even then certainly not in a good way.

 

[ska invita]

Can I just say THAT WAS A PENALTY

Yeah you could tell it was bad as soon as you saw him.

 

[Voley]

So.

Do we think that may, on reflection, have been a penalty?

 

[Petcha]

80 min: Even more absurd is VAR’s refusal to get involved. Presumably they think Armstrong went down too easily, having been looking to initiate the contact. But even so. That’s a very contentious decision … with the only possibility being that Armstrong was offside in the first instance. Hmm.


2m ago21.37 BST
78 min: Armstrong bustles his way into space down the inside-right channel, chasing after a long pass, and enters the box. He gets his body between ball and Orban, who knocks him from behind. Armstrong goes over, and surely it’s a penalty … but the referee says no. That is absurd!

 

[strung out]

He was offside

 

[Petcha]

Why/how do they have an Argentinian ref team doing this anyway? Standards are way different there. They don't employ European refs for their comps.

 

[mwgdrwg]

First responders are trained to walk instead of run to avoid any additional inkkjuries and/or panic.

Walk briskly I assume, not stroll leisurely.

 

[ska invita]

Scotland should've surrounded the keeper, stopped the games and forced the var review by the ref. Top football tip

 

[shifting gears]

pretty sure VAR is almost finished reviewing and will beckon the ref over in a moment

He's been spot on so far
APART FROM THE FUCKING PENALTY

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I thought he was offside at the moment it happened.

 

[Petcha]

Well except for not giving a blatant penalty, yes

 

[ska invita]

You're on the wrong thread

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm assuming there'll be a fair amount of added time at the end of the 90, given the lengthy stoppage.

Ten!

 

[Bingoman]

Minimum of 10 added minutes

 

[Lord Camomile]

Jesus, Dunn has fair kept 'em in it

 

[weepiper]

Fucking hell

 

[Lord Camomile]

Thank fuck I'm not a Scot or Hungarian with a pacemaker

 

[tommers]

Hahahah

 

[Voley]

Come on Scotland! 100th minute winner.

 

[Lord Camomile]

(Meanwhile, Germany just equalised in the 92nd minute!)

 

[Voley]

Ffs

 

[Lord Camomile]

PUT HIM THROUGH!!

 

[xenon]

Fuck me. over the bar. Four minutes left.

 

[two sheds]

do scotland not go through if it's a draw?

eta ah they'll only have two points that puts them out i presume

 

[Lord Camomile]

How in the shite has this remained goalless, at both ends??

 

[May Kasahara]

Scotland cramming all their shots on target into the last five minutes.
