[Magrat Garlick]

No idea what that text in Hungarian near the centre line says but probably nothing good

 

[Lillian Thomson]

My hovercraft is full of eels.

 

[sledger]

Haha oh man, that red card

 

[Furball]

I'm surprised the ref didn't send him off in the first instance.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

That was a very funny (and fair) red card.

 

[sledger]

Haha so am I, bit the whole VAR drama of it all made that extra fun

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Poor refereeing. Not sure the handball is particularly significant. He gave a foul so should just have sent him off anyway.

 

[Tangles]

The slip is bad luck but batting the ball away was dumb.

Yeah a real brain fart moment.

Entertaining game this.

 

[grecian]

Gawd football is going to die of embarassment when Czechia win it all, isn't it?

 

[Uppercut]

I felt like he had a reasonable chance of playing the ball without handling it.

Don’t like this. Czechs are bleak and Netherlands are really fun.

 

[Furball]

Keeper's made an absolute arse of that.

I feel it's probably karma, after the horrific 2010 WC final, threw all their principles out the window for thuggery, been **** ever since (yeah I may be ignoring the third place in the next World Cup, but still)..

 

[sledger]

Haha oh boy

Couple of moments in this match where Netherlands have been absolutely dire in possession

 

[sledger]

Also this Dumfries bloke looks suspiciously like a Dutch Clichy

I feel like the Netherlands could be suffering karma for many things but playing ugly football isn’t one of them.

Huh, he’s been like the best player of the whole Euros.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I don't know how exactly, but I blame Furball.

 

[sledger]

Huh, he’s been like the best player of the whole Euros.

Haha all limbs
