Tyrone Shoelaces

Yes, I agree with that. He should been aiming higher in the championship. Wasn’t he linked with Sheff Utd at one point.

Anybody who’s watched the last 3 women’s games can’t have failed to be excited. At least they play right to the end unlike the men’s team who once they go behindthere’s not much in the way of a come back.

I’d say his career has plateaued at the moment but he’s still got youth on his side. I think he’ll have a decent career. Like a lad that used to be in our woodworking class - Craig Dawson.

We’ll have to be at our absolute best to beat Spain. Selecting the best 11 to start will be crucial.

Nobody comes here given a choice of somewhere else, they aren’t stupid.

If you were an opponent you wouldn’t clatter him, you’d want him to stay on and get another card.

I’ve not read that yet. Edit. I have now. No punches pulled there is there ? The writer is correct though, we’ve been a bit incoherent all through the tournament and got by with latge helping of good fortune.

They were knackered in extra time. Italy in particular were kicking it anywhere. That doesn’t happen to the same degree in the men’s game.

New series on BBC radio 4 “ Shadow World - The Graverobbers “ It’s all about a gang of con men who are faking wills, getting probate, and then disposing of people’s assets. At the moment they’re getting away with it. It’s a similar scam to the one were people were having their houses stolen by con men. Hard to believe things like this can go in today’s world.

The fact that there has been a drop off in quality when we’ve subbed players has led to us conceding more than our share of goals in the last 10 minutes of games. Just my opinion. We’ve also kept key players on the pitch for too long because our subs weren’t good enough. That leads to them getting tired and then getting injured.

The great Stanley Matthews was well known for wanting to be paid for playing in charity games. He wouldn’t play in Bill Eckersley’s testimonial for that reason, and he must have known Bill really well. Having said that this was in the £20 a week maximum wage era.

Going back to the rest of the game. We started slowly and looked tired to me The first half was poor with Italy looking like they had our number. Second half we upped our game and got on top. In extra time we looked the best team and up for it. I thought we brought the subs on 10-15 minutes later than they should have been. We rode our luck again though when our keeper somehow kept out that shot in front of goal. It really should have been over then.

Not only that but it was right in front of the referee. She had the best view of all.

I always used to think that if you’re going to give a penalty so late in the game it’s got to be a real penalty because you’re effectively deciding the game.

I though it was a pen but you see things like that happen 10 times a game and nothing is given.

Well we did it. We rode our luck again but we were the best team I think. Another awful penalty. Why are they all at a saveable height ?

The girl that scored should have on 15 minutes sooner,

We’ve been poor so far. No tempo and getting over run in midfield.

The girl thst came on when the other centre half did her ankle ( Morgan ) had a good game.

He was a fantastic player before the injuries. A throw back to the players who could go past people like they weren’t there.

He got stuck in and he didn’t take a backward step. I liked that about him. Sometimes you can be too brave for your own good. As he gets older he’ll learn how to look after himself better on the pitch.

I’ve said it before but during a recent game and a long bout of to you - to me - and back again I caught myself thinking - would I have fallen in love with this style of football back in the day ?

Did he once borrow a quid off you and never paid it back ?

I can recommend the Erdinger.

Exactly, there is no project.
