Sweden v Ukraine - Tuesday 29/06 - 20:00

[Lord Camomile]

Ref!

Costing me points for that... * mumble grumble *

 

[Maggot]

Arm o yanko on Larmayenko.

 

[JTG]

I’m sitting in the bar near three Ukrainians . There’s a small Ukraine population in Portugal mainly in the Algarve .

How tiny are these small Ukrainians?

[editor]

I'm quite enjoying this game.

 

[two sheds]

Well this is a bit fucking tedious.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Again, not sure about this. He's clearly going for the ball, the Ukraine player comes from outside his vision.

I don't know if you can call it "high" when he wasn't tackling someone.

 

[The Octagon]

Penalties please.

(fun to watch when your team's not involved)

(plus fatigue for the England game)

 

[Rebelda]

Yeesh the way his leg bends

Reckless in my opinion

 

[agricola]

How on earth did he have the nerve to complain about that? It would have been a straight red forty years ago.

It looks horrific on the replay - and it is - but I don't see how it was reckless. I don't think he saw the player as he was looking at the ball.

 

[ruffneck23]

ouch

 

[Rebelda]

Looking like we'll have a nicely tired opposition on Saturday

 

[two sheds]

Unlucky I thought - kicked the ball and Ukrainian player almost ran through onto his foot.

 

[Rebelda]

Aww they're bandaging him with Actico, I use that all the time.

 

[Rebelda]

Feel sorry for Sweden, there was no malice in it.

 

[purves grundy]

Exactly! Why are they making him walk? Punishment for weakness?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Reckless in my opinion

Can see why, but...

Aye, likewise, I just feel like it's not reckless to kick a ball that's in the air if you don't realise another player is thundering in for the same ball.

Yeesh the way his leg bends

Either way, yes, this. Reckless or not probably doesn't matter all that much to the guy whose leg has been hit, it did look a very nasty contact.

 

[The39thStep]

Yes got some sympathy for that view however doesn’t have to have malice or intent

 

[Lord Camomile]

Christ, this don't look good either

They're already knackered without breaking each other

 

[Rebelda]

Yes got some sympathy for that view however doesn’t have to have malice or intent

Oh agree it's a straight red, just a gutting way to get one.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yes got some sympathy for that view however doesn’t have to have malice or intent

I would certainly agree with that as a general point, of course.

 

[Rebelda]

Christ, this don't look good either

They're already knackered without breaking each other

Aye that was some ball to take to the temple

 

[two sheds]

Straight red we reckon? No malice but dangerous play kicking it right at his head

 

[Rebelda]

They're falling apart all over the shop

 

[agricola]

Straight red we reckon? No malice but dangerous play kicking it right at his head

you can't send the milky bar kid off

 

[neonwilderness]

There’ll be no one left for the penalties soon

 

[souljacker]

This is like watching veterans football. Everyone strolling around and getting injured kicking the ball or trying to run too fast,

 

[souljacker]

20 mins of first half extra time. lol.
