England vs Ukraine

[Ayrshire Blue]

Rooney starts

Team - Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Young, Rooney, Welbeck

Deep joy, Milner and Young start :zzzzz: Even though that would appear to be a better line up, Andy Carroll's got to be pretty gutted.

The conspiracy theorist in me says that we will not be allowed to go through to the QFs. UEFA can't have a second successive Euro Finals without either host in the last 8, can they? I fully expect a few decidedly dodgy referee and linesman decisions go against us tonight. 2-0 Ukraine.

Carroll is one of 23 players in a squad. He knows that.

Agreed.

Would have kept Welbeck and Carroll but brought in Rooney for Young and Walcott for Milner.

It's a no-brainer to keep Young in the side. He, Rooney and Wellbeck play together most weeks for Man Yoo so know one another's games inside out. You need as much cohesion as possible at international level when players from various clubs only have a limited time together.

Me too Scott.

Disagree completely. Don't think Sheringham, Shearer and Beckham ever played in the same club side, any more than Lineker, Gascoigne and Beardsley did. Young has played both games and been absolute poo, Milner only marginally better.

Sheringham & Beckham both played together at Manchester United. Lineker & Gascoigne for Spurs, and possibly Beardsley & Gascoigne at Newcastle.:raspberry:

 

[Pubey]

Backed Young as first scorer.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Really glad that I wasted 45mins of my life watching that............England, quarter final material........mind you, we're not there yet.

Hey Chaps,

Can anyone tell me what the **** Gashley Young is supposed to be doing?
I call him Gashley because he's playing like a ****.
And why is he wearing pink ****ing boots, to make it even more obvious that he's a ****ing ****hole?

****er.

King Regards

This proves women know nothing about football!

So you're saying Ayrshire knows nothing too? :stunned:

You lost then!

Sheringham & Beckham both played together at Manchester United. Lineker & Gascoigne for Spurs, and possibly Beardsley & Gascoigne at Newcastle.:raspberry:

But not all three at the same time for Club! :raspberry:

Great, another month of going over this with the very predictable debate over goal-line technology.

Few points to make :

1) Yes the ball was over the line, but their striker (Milevskyi??) looked a yard or so off when it got played up to him and the assistant missed it again!

2) Maybe England gaining from lack of goal-line technology will make Blatter think!!

3) What the hell do the extra officials behind the goal do? Seem a bit pointless to me, as they just seem to stand there with a stick!

 

[MK Shrimper]

God we were awful, but the table don't lie!

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

France blow it against Sweden, so we've got Italy..............well that's better than Spain, isn't it????.........surely the Spaniards can't play as badly again as they played in their last group match?

 

[OldBlueLady]

You can have as many extra officials as you like Mr Blatter but until you get an infallible method of deciding a ball is over the line you will continue to get human mistakes. Karma and all that.

 

[Beefy]

Didn't see ITV but neither RTE nor Sky seem interested in mentioning how the 'goal' was two yards offside.

Young was fine. He was extremely disciplined and helped Cole out when Ukraine were targeting their flank (not sure why they weren't going after Glen Johnson...). Whoever plays on the wing in this formation is going to be doing more tracking back than they will be hitting the byline. Young and Milner are the right two to be playing.

Extra officials on the goal-line aren't going to pick up off-sides near the halfway line.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

It was no where near over the line
