    Bloody hell Nin. That's going to take some serious analysis. I guess the way to do it is to look at the stats in the second half of all his games in charge. Things like possession, attempts, area of the pitch in which most of that 45 was played, substitutions etc. Then on top of that, you have to ask if coincidence itself is fundamental if it exists at all
    Unfortunately, I'm a bit busy (too lazy) at the moment but my guess is that it's probably coincidental. I haven't really seen anything to suggest a pattern.

    I'd really love to hear a UEFA official explaining why Wales's goal against Turkey was disallowed last night for a hand/part of an arm being offside and yet England can do exactly the same against the ROI, VAR check it and say it's all ok???

    Not that I'm hinting that their officials could be corrupt but........

    You've been spending too much time listening to Python's Philosopher's Song.

    I was waiting for the ref to give him another chance after VAR told him Darlow moved an inch off his line :emoticon-0138-think

    They did seem to rush the decision through without the picture being repeatedly shown.

    On your point of a hand / arm being offside, I thought the rule was that the bit being offside had to be part of the body you can score with. You can't score with either your hand or arm.
    I yelled at the tele that the line was in the wrong place for that very reason.
    Turkey probably deserved to win, but the ref was definitely leaning towards them with his decisions.

    Not sure that’s right remote.

    Turkey were very good at going forward but their finishing was poor whereas Wales defended very well and I can only remember Darlow having one save of note to make. Wilson hit the post. Their penalty hit the post. Ergo a draw was a fair result.

    On the back foot to start, but have grown into the game.
    We're creating chances.
    We need to keep pushing on now.

    Absolutely, especially with Turkey losing at halftime. Can't see Montenegro holding on so a couple more goals for us would be good.

    The pendulum has swung.
    We've been caught out overplaying at the back but are creating far more than they are.
    Need to ease the tension by converting one of the chances created.
    What can Bellamy do with his options from the bench?
