I agree with you Lblock , how in the hell is this fella getting the gig ??? You just know he is going to stiff us over with a dodgy decision
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Meant to be discussing the chances of an England win against Holland but has gone off on a wild rambling tangent involving drug dealers, Southgates apparent incompetence and a referee who is backing Ivan Toney to score the winner.
Seems like Bazza needs a lie down.
My view basically can see us beating Holland as Holland have shanked and fluked their way through too. Finished third in their group and been as dull as ourselves.
We are all England managers and if Jude hadn't scored a clever Trevor overhead special.
Melt downs for Southgate would be the order of the day.
But now he is on the verge of a knighthood.
There is always the phrase "You make your own luck"
Hopefully from this fantastic base we can move forwards and play the football, our players know they can and then annihilate the Spanish in the final.
However my drug of choice is Nurofen and if anyone wants a supply, please private message me and I can dispatch your product via DPD.
Tonight is one of those games that will be talked about for a while in being either we failed the first good team we met again or we finally won a 50/50 game against a top nation in a knockout game
The key for England is Foden & Bellingham, the Dutch leave big gaps between midfield and defence and that is where we have to hurt them. We also need Kane to turn up tonight but fear he's playing with an injury and is just going to continue to struggle
I'm still angry at Koeman for that foul on Platt in 1993 so I'd go all Kevin Keegan if we beat them

Funny how no one referenced that Koeman incident when we played them in 96 - and it was a lot more fresh in the memory then!
Or is it just because Koeman is now manager?
All a bit odd.
Hoping for an England win tonight but even if we do get to the final and Spain win, I can live with that because Spain have just been so good and fun to watch.
I'm sure if these forums were a thing then it would have been mentioned. I absolutely hated Koeman back then plus that Euro 96 game was just a group game and England were pretty much already through

For possibly the first time in this tournament I'm actually looking forward to seeing us play this evening.
Fickle k*nt that I am.
It's another one of the fascinating match up's in style contrasts. I do hold out hope that Safegate may try and catch the Dutchies cold and surprise them with a display of attacking vigor, but that is only a brief hope.
I'm going another 1-1 at FT.... after that GULP

On the ref thing, I bet he's not the only one taking a bung. He got caught, got punished and probably shouldn't be in that role again, as the trust has gone. Maybe ok for domestic games but to be reffing high profile games is asking for trouble.

He fouled him and should have been sent off, England thought it was a penalty was given as a free kick and he was booked at 0-0. Holland then get a free kick, Koeman scores it and Graham Taylor thanks the referee for getting him the sack

I hope he goes for it , the Dutch are there for the taking imo and finished 3rd in their group This is a winnable game One thing I would like to see an improvement on is set pieces, we have been crap at them this tournament
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Yes, it's the typical thing that happens if you're high profile you somehow get another chance but some poor sap in the lower leagues would get a permanent ban for something much more minor.
Maybe corruption isn't seen as a big deal as it's so widespread in FIFA/UEFA (educated guess). Dunno. But it's pretty sh*t and makes a mockery of having any kind of faith in our officials. This bloke shouldn't be reffing anything other than domestic lower leagues (as I doubt betting syndicates would have such a financial interest in tampering with those).

1.Pulls Platt down as the last man 2.Gets only a yellow rather than the mandatory red from the corrupt German ref 3.Our free kick on the edge of the box gets charged down from someone not ten yards away but isn't re-taken 4. Few minutes later they get a free on the edge of our box taken by Koeman who blasts it 5. Ince charges it down but this time it gets retaken 6. The milky bar kid then retakes it and the git who shouldn't even have been on the pitch, flips it over the wall into the corner of the goal
I'm not sure what the LotG were at the time but the initial pull was outside the box and continued inside. One's thing's for sure, Koeman should have been given a red either way.

Blimey the last time we played them in a big Euro finals fixture what a game.
El Tel had us purring that day.
Always makes me smile looking back at that one... 4-0 and word went round if we concede 1 goal it'll put the Jocks out. Oh the laughter when it went in. Lovely, lovely sunny day and a memorable evening at the expense of the bookies again thanks to Mr Shearer.
Clearly we won't get that sort of performance. I'm actually with Safegate on this for this one -- lets just get a bloody result i.e a win!!
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I was feeling confident about tonight until saw that Sgate has picked Trippier to start, again. Beggars belief. Dutch deep cover agent JFH influence? Bizarre.
