Match Day Thread Bulgaria vs England

[Plum]

Chazz seems to be traumatized by his unfriendly bus driver so here we go.

Yes, we're playing Bulgaria tonight. Hope it's better than the other night. Did you know,

Bulgaria is the only country in Europe that hasn’t changed its name since it was first established.

no, I bet you didn't. Here's how we line up,

It has something of Springfield Park about it.

Brilliant goal

 

[Brucebones]

Rashford short of confidence? Bollocks, Ole’s wheels are square!

 

[tigerscanada]

Wow

 

[Ernie Shackleton]

Good save from the panicky, hapless keeper who lacks so much confidence.

 

[Ernie Shackleton]

How many passes before that goal?

 

[Mr Hatem]

I was wondering why Rashford was wasted out left, then he scored.
2-0 to Eng now

Unrequited love Obvs.

 

[Quill]

Reports of racist chanting from the Bulgarians. Shock horror.


England fans respond with "racist bastards, we know what you are". While correct, I imagine there are some Chelski fans there, so it's probably a bit hypocritical too.

 

[Brucebones]

Booing a black player, apparently the ref has the ability to abandon the game if it continues!
So now if your team is losing, then just boo the black player!
FFS!

 

[Quill]

Glad Barkley is in the goals, he was probably the only player on Friday who actually seemed to want to do something.

Kinda wish Sterling scored that though - just to see the crowd reaction.

 

[Quill]

Stopping the match AGAIN.

For ****s' sake, ban the ****s. And by the ****s, I mean the national team. I know that that might be harsh, but it's the only way to battle it at the moment. Fines and empty stands do **** all.

 

[Quill]

Anyone else get the feeling it's going to all kick off outside the stadium after the game?

As soon as you saw that group of fans leaving, I felt they where just going to get ready for later on tonight.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

They weren't exactly subtle, were they?

I heard booing when Trippier had the ball too !

It’s a 3 stage process. One more stoppage for racism and they can abandon the match. Ian Wright at half time was brilliant - saying it’s a sad day for Bulgarians but a great step forward for stamping out racism. The Bulgarian fans that vacated the stadium before half time were a disgrace.

 

[Qatartiger Cambridgetiger]

It's just ****ing disgusting. As City1904 and Quill said this isn't over. I hope all the English fans get home safely.

Btw well played England. Glad Stirling scored too.
