This post made me laugh and it reminded me of something that I witnessed IB do when he was topping the bill at the Twaat Bar.. This young kid was talking to camera and my eyes were drawn to a ‘Gilbert’ up his nose….didn’t want to look. buit couldn’t help it….then it came out and it rested on his nose…..then his hand scooped it up and deposited it on his hair. WTF? Thought I would mention it as I didn’t want you to miss out!
Rubin and Isaak called up to replace Ramsey and Dan James. 5 City youngsters now in Bellars squad. Shows how far our club has progresses. Kpakio may well start due to the shortage of other right backs. Not sure any of the others will start either game, barring injuries, but still great for City to have this involvement on the international stage.
Well, that was a little disappointing eh? Shame we didn't finish one of the two good chances we created but fair play to Pickford for his saves. Far better 2nd half from the boys in red but I also think England took their foot off the gas a little too. We definitely looked more mobile and penetrated more after the substitutions. Lots for Bellamy to review.
I can't help think that the English took their foot off the gas and it could have easily been much worse before half time. Their press exposed deficiencies in the quality of our team. Sadly we just don't have the riches that teams such as England enjoy and when very good quality players are well organised again us then it shows the flaws in our system. First half we tried to play out from the back by trying to find Moore or our midfielders - that failed. Second half we played it out from the back and often for stock in our own corner. Without a springboard then it's impossible for our lads to implement their game plan. Work to be done before Monday and just maybe the England game was the perfect preparation for the more important fixture
Just caught the highlights - difficult to gauge the game and individual performances from 7 minutes with 4 replays of each goal Has Craig said owt about it?
VAR hand Belgium an equaliser - literally handed to them on a plate Big second half now. A draw would be a great result but it’s hard to see Belgium not scoring again.
Officials doing what they can to help ease Belgium through here Soft penalty and so many decisions that have favoured Belgium... Cards out quickly for our boys yet Belgium allowed to get away with plenty of niggly stuff..
Thought I smelt a rat with the officiating and there it was... Can only assume a visitor from down West didn't cook his packed lunch thoroughly enough!
That ref has probably been booked for our game on Saturday. Absolutely shocking. Now Wales get sh1t refs as well.
