Stolen by the Ref

American,

Is the match on Fox at the moment?

BTW, I will not dignify your joke with a response

Matches are on PPV, I follow them on Guardian's minute by minute. They will be showing them on a few days delay on FSW. 3 days, I think for the Quarters and 5 for the Semi and Final (or the other way around). Try www.soccertv.com

gerrard off for Hargrieves

[tcj_jones]

This is no-ones fault but Eriksens. How can you defend for 65minutes and expect to come away with a win. Extra time and we have no attacking players and no substitutions. Expect Portugal to grab another before the end.

Did I mention that I hate the BBC. Every Saturday BBC World, which I get on my satellite radio in the car, plays the Radio 5 matches (I love them for that). So now that it is Euro time, do you think they'd be playing the matches, which I understand they are broadcasting on Radio 5? Nah, that would be too easy. Instead I get to listen, yes listen, to tennis. Not that it is the most exciting sport to begin with, but try listening to it. I'd rather spend a night hanging out with Lofty.

[tcj_jones]

This ref has been woeful all night. How do we last 30 minutes with no more subs and a team of tired dis-heartened players. I am praying this goes to penalties because we dont have a chance in hell in extra time

[Flopsy]

CAmpbell scores the winner and the @#/? ref disallows it bloody atrocious decision

[bellamy11]

A quid on England to win 2-1, Owen to score first. Harshest way to disallow £40, ever.

[Flopsy]

Full time

bloody stupid useless effing ref

goes to silver goal now - Terry might have been fouling the keeper but really innocuous

grrrrrrr

if we lose there will be blue murder in lisbon now

[Flopsy]

sorry linesman gave the foul

ARGHHHH

COME ON ENGLAND

COME ON ENGLAND

[tcj_jones]

Ref/linesman bottled it big style. They knew if they made a mistake against the hosts they'd be slaughtered, so to be safe they disallow it

[USABlue]

Bloody Screwed now. Damned officials.

[blue/white]

Disallowed goal shades of France '98, with Shearer and Roa, uh?

[Flopsy]

doomed doomed doomed i tell you

DOOMED

"Ref/linesman bottled it big style. They knew if they made a mistake against the hosts they'd be slaughtered, so to be safe they disallow it"

Sad, but true tcj_Jones

[USABlue]

Possibly a host nation decision?

[tcj_jones]

That muppet Phil Neville isnt helping. Gets yellow carded, gives the ball away, then nearly trips someone on the edge of the box. The Portuguese are fit and hungry, we're tired and weak

[Grabbi Graeme]

G Neville just sent a Portugal player sprawling in the box but ref gave them nothing luckily, maybe he relisles what he did in the 90th minute.

I got to say I cant see us winning this unless we get a miracle ( Silver goal on 15 mins)

[Oklahoma]

whatever

[Grabbi Graeme]

Showing the diallowed goal again , nothing wrong with it, the ref has certainly give the home side decisions all night

[tcj_jones]

whatever

I tell you mate, the disallowed goal aside, that ref has been absolutely abysmal. Its not simply that most awards are going against us, but his decisions have been poor for Portugal as well. The difference is they'v been at times that matter for us.

[blue/white]

Whatever???

WTF does that mean, mate ? That was no infraction, clean challenge - but the stadium would have been burned down if it was allowed to stand--

I see a black hand emerging......

unfortuantely Costas just scored

but oh my god what a goal it was to lose to

[Grabbi Graeme]

I think he means that we are making excuses for the fact we have not won this game in 90 mins.

but now it's 2-1 and I think thats the end of England, but we shouldnt even be playing extra time
