Southgate does it again 21:54 - Jul 10 with 1853 views | Southamptonfan | England in the final again. Despite the moans about Southgate, England are in the final. Getting the job done, boring or not is all that matters. And Holland are a great team. Venebles, Hoddle, Keegan only ever got to the semis at best. Boring is best by the looks of it.

I’ve long thought that English refs were poor ( step forward Anthony Taylor for not giving a nailed on hand ball in the Germany game ) but the guy tonight took incompetence to a new level. For the penalty the shot over the bar from Kane had already left his foot before the Dutch player made contact.What is the point of V A R if he can’t even see that in slow motion ? Interestingly not one England player appealed for a penalty. Leading up to our winning goal he completely missed by error or design an England player having the last touch on a Dutch cross and gave a goal kick when every man and his dog could see it should have been a corner. Poor or corrupt ? Only he knows I suppose. Nonetheless he took the shine off of the result for me. Hopefully for the Final on Sunday they will appoint somebody who vaguely knows what he is doing. | |

Never mind England win, are you Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Australian? Very strange being so angry about a decision going our way | |

When I last looked at my Birth Certificate I’m pretty sure it confirmed that I’m English. Maybe it’s because there are a lot more years behind me than in front that I’m not one of the modern day win at all cost merchants. By any standard the referee tonight was poor. Interestingly the media suggest that he was banned for six months in 2005 for taking a bribe, not that I’m suggesting he’s corrupt of course. | |

Unfair, he ran back towards his own goal quite a lot. | |

If the penalty went against us for the same thing i would have been raging. However we have to take it . Plenty enough over the years has gone against us so personally i think sod it ... remember the pain of the goal over the line or the handball ,the list goes on .. the one player who thought it was a penalty was kane . Momentum is with us | |

Southgate does it again on 09:04 - Jul 11 with 1432 views | mushinexile | Cocklebreath, what a strange response to suggest that if you were not happy to get a wrong decision in your favour, then you weren't English. I am. We pride ourselves on fair play. We call it Sportsmanship. In my opinion it was not a penalty but the referee's decision and all that. Glad we won because we played better than the Netherlands did. Good luck to England on Sunday. [Post edited 11 Jul 9:09]

Tbf at the time my 1st reaction was that it was a pen as the Dutch guy got it wrong and was beaten to the ball, butso I'll take it, but it was a very close decision And yes I'd have been peed off if it was the other way round and they got the pen So I'll take the pen and sorry to the Dutch, but also tough titty to the Dutch | | | |

As you say have a lot of years behind you then you'll remember Maradona handball 86, Koeman no red in 93, Beckham wrongly sent off and Sol Campbell goal ruled out 98, Lampard over the line 2010, Saka assault by Chiellini 2020 Fook fair play, we've earnt a bit of luck and we were the better side on the night overall and deserved to go through | | | |

Fully agree chasaint80 we’ve earnest a bit of luck but not sure I agree with your comment about fair play and yes we were the better side on the night. Reference all the examples of previous injustices I believe I’m correct in saying they were all pre V A R ? Yesterday the referee initially gave a goal kick and his decision was changed. Was the outcome correct . Oddly enough a poll of viewers in the sports section of the B B C suggests that by a margin of two to one the answer was “ no”. Not that it matters now so onwards to Sunday. | |
