Sigurdsson. Wimp.

A soft sending off screwed the RoI. Another card obsessed UEFA official desperate to meet his targets. The 2nd half was a distortion.

That was a competitive match last night between teams who were up for it. Greece were good opposition, a bit agricultural in their challenges but I'm not against that, it's preparation for what happens outside of the PL safe space. These games are better preparation that friendlies unless maybe we bring back the Home Internationals which old codgers like me remember. They were usually anything but friendly. We do need to get into the top bracket of of the NL and play the top sides. So, IF the NL is as worthless as claimed by some on here what is the viable alternative to using the NL or friendlies as useful tournament preparation. Playing keep up at St Georges Park isn't enough.

I don't watch much PL either. I had never heard of Rogers or Hall. Lewis plays for City, I think, so is a shoe in if Pep allows it. We played well mostly, a bit of brilliance by Jones for his goal from a great attack. Gallagher put in a hell of a shift. Every single player in the England team showed by endeavour they want to play for the team. A very watchable game

Injured: Saka, Alexander-Arnold, Colwill, Foden, Grealish, Palmer, Ramsdale, Rice, Branthwaite Most are real injuries. The doubts are with Colwill, Foden and Grealish. Withdrawals from England squads are nothing new, been going on for decades, and this time with a lame duck manager.

Coventry sack Robins and to even consider Lampard....Burnley to even consider Rooney This is a lot to process 😄

So, so true. The overall standard of referees in the PL and EFL, their assistants including VAR is somewhere south of pathetic. They make Courtney look decent.

100% A bent referee.

Cardiff fell asleep during the 37 passes in our own half. Pears gets the most passes award. The final 4 or 5 passes were good though.

I was with a group of mates in a Pattaya bar post golf watching the game. If I recall correctly the group had fans of MU, Liverpool, Leeds, Forest, Toon, and me, the Lone Rover. That corrupt refereeing decision was long the topic on conversation, all agreed it was a stonewall penalty. It's like MGPs miss and Courtney Palace, ones that I still think about as there were historically important. Gueyes miss, whilst hysterically bad, hasn't reached that level, it could as the season unfolds. It made me laugh at the time whilst genuinely thinking FFS he is useless and angry as I'd fallen for the lie that he could head the ball well, in attacking crosses. Get shut as any price.

Not forgotten but Refs tend to pull out cards against Rovers players for the occasional silent fart.

Dolan also does the occasional sneaky trip, when a player's dispossesses him. It's not for an overly aggressive full blooded tackle.

Or anyone on the riverbank who has a good catch can be our first team keeper

Extensive FA Cup Final history from British Pathe. After lots of early mentions: 16.14 , our goals in the 1928 win over Huddersfield and the towns celebration. 2.07.40, the 1960 defeat by Wolves. It shows a great Douglas dribble but also the McGrath OG, Whelan's injury and Woods blunder. And a walking Dougan....

A home banker, quite possibly by 2 or more goals. The world can watch it but won't be interested, I barely am. https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/4966324/cardiff-city-vs-blackburn-rovers/
