England v Republic of Ireland

Got AUQ Home @ 5's, quitely confident

England win to nil @ 1.86, short enough though but worth a punt.

I sincerely hope England win by 4 at least….

Yeah, a repeat of their last performance would be nice.
Not a betting game for me.

Easy night for Carsley. All he needs to do is make sure he doesn’t sing along to the wrong national anthem.

He ll probably dodge it and be outside watching the road bowling final on Wembley way.)

Bellingham shot on target @1.83

Sportsbook going Irish keeper to make 4 saves @ 2.0

England to win, get most corners and shots on target Evens, only a tenner allowed, unfortunately.

Bellingham looking like the Don already

More than happy to have Palmer and Foden as understudies

Ireland time wasting already

Why did Walker try to head the ball with his face?

I need England to win both halves (only).

England are not really showing any signs of being able to break this lot down. Not yet, anyway.

This is dire.

changes needed, this isn't working.

Ireland can play a bit. I think they are better than Scotland.

Boring.

Everyone's better than Scotland

Only joking

Had enough of this falling asleep

Harry Kane the passenger

Looks frustrated and overweight tbh shouldn’t be playing

HT 0-0

0 shots on target.

Dire stuff.

The fans deserve their money back.

Dire

Dreadful Game England look clueless

Harry Kane looks washed up and what on earth does he keep dropping into his own half for?

What a different England performance this evening to wednesday's game against Greece? Are Greece not a more superior side than Ireland? Ireland have been defending well.

Well this a nothing match, in a nothing tournament, England would be better to not winning this game and get knocked out in the play offs and have a summer off.

Fcuk me someone crossed the ball!!!!!!!!

Blimey! I thought England were playing away! Maybe the calibre of English managers eg Mr Southgate and Mr Carsley has shown how inferior our managers are in comparison to others; the long tenure of Mr Southgate could not have helped either.

good ball

The Don

Great ball by Kane though!

harsh to give a 2nd yellow, but still.

The jockey is crap system,harry kane is washed up ,gets first goal.

Now can we see some football

Why could England not score in the 1st half? 2 goals in 1st 10 mins of the 2nd half.

I can see 4-0

I can never understand why players get booked and or sent off, when a penalty is given, the player doesn't mean to bring him down in the penalty box and if a player is brought down when 1 on 1 in the penalty are, just give the penalty, far too many players being sent off for nothing these days.

No Saka?

over 2.5 in just few mins

Mr Carsley is playing all his mates in his last game in charge. No difference in football to politics either.

I like Carsley

He brought Solanke on forGallagher. We need more players in the box.

Gordon was not very effective so good to see Roger’s get a go and boom another first goal scorer

Capitulation from Ireland. 5-0, who'd have believed this was possible after 0-0 1st half.

Cricket,what if clean through pro foul,then pen is missed.

Where's Foden?

Gerrard or Lampard?

We don’t need Foden as a starter.

We've got a promotion under our belt

Spain can't say that , they've never had to endure the dregs of football

Eat that

Half-time analysis is outsanding. "Who would you bring on wrighty?" Wrighty then goes on to name all the subs. Genius!

It's dogso, innit, so red and free kick outside box, yellow in box

He got first yellow for time wasting / delay of game
so funny that he gets sent off.

Yes, it's like the CL final in 2006

Lehmann sent off.

So football rules in it's wisdom, decides to punish Arsenal in 3 ways.

1. Reduced to 10 men
2. Second Choice keeper introduced.
3. First choice outfield player subbed for 3rd choice keeper.

All because Lemon Lehman rushed out of his goal a bit too early where clearly a free kick would have sufficed.

A penalty is punishment enough, you have a 75% chance of scoring, no need to ruin the game for everyone, nobody wants a 1 sided match, TV doesn't want it, sponsors don't want it, fans don't want it, and fans start to switch off in droves like tonight when Ireland start conceding 2+ with 10 men away from home, it's an archaic rule that needs scrapping.

Kind Regards.

1930 - In Anthony Gordon, Conor Gallagher, Jarrod Bowen, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, four players have scored their first England goal in the same game for the first time since October 1930 v Northern Ireland (Harry Burgess, Jimmy Hampson, Sammy Crooks, Eric Houghton).

Opta

Madueke was booked for similar foul in game

We ask for consistency...

These new yellow cards for silly things are what is ruining the game, although Scales first yellow was a yellow 10 years ago. The 2nd was mandatory as Bellingham had a clear goalscoring opportunity.
If you are going to give silly yellows then you need to bring in a sin bin.
They have been gradually trying to get rid of most tackling for 30+ years. This is their latest attempt.

England thrashed Rep Of Ireland 5-0...why is 'irishone'?

shocking decision Ireland no penalty not even checked, could have changed game, who knows ?

Yeh, they would've scored a goal and still lost. Ireland are crap

i'm not saying ireland are great myself but they should have got 2 penalties, if converted ? big if I know, they game would obviously have changed, who knows ?

The jersey pull is a stonewall penalty every week on var in english premier league. I don't know how anybody can argue with that.
Anyway agreed ireland and england are not very good.

https://www.balls.ie/football/ireland-england-evan-ferguson-penalty-616105


if that's not a penalty give the game up, if ireland had converted, big if i agree but it would have been converted, totally different game.

Weren't pelanties, and var won't overturn ref on obvious exaggeration

If players had stood up and shot they might have scored.

Guy trying to get Kane sent off was funny too

And time waster got 2nd yellow and sent off

Maybe this shithousery works sometimes but crying
when it backfires is an occupational hazard

Standard of refereeing is way higher than Premier League stuff.

so pulling somebody's jersey in penalty box is allowed, ive no problem with that, if that is rules you want, so change the rules, but as far as i'm aware currently, that is stonewall penalty

no idea why anybody who knows anything about fitba, can dispute why that is not a penalty, might not have been converted right enough, but its stonewall penalty

aye i am raging ireland got cheated, so does plenty at wembley, but the italians gave you you're dinner in euros final.

The photo in your link shows Fergusons arm impacting England player.

I'm not sure you understand the laws, their interpretation, and application.

If Ferguson is simply fouled rather than actively tusslingthen then maybe a pelanty is awarded. But is that really stopping a fit young man from having a shot?

The referee was consistent throughout blowing up in favour of defensive team, so unlikely
he awards a pelanty for an incident shown in photo.

As for changing the laws, if you blew for a free kick at every contact, then you'd never
get a game worth watching.

grabbing players shirt is a foul and if in box is a penalty, check rule book.

So free kick England for Irish player impacting England defender.

OK wasn't given. We can live with that

Italy beating England is irrelevant. What kind of claim is that? Wasn't your team.
Ireland are crap and nobody even gives a second though about playing them

it was stonewall penalty, anyway no big deal. GL

If ref and var had been Irish they may have overlooked the foul by Irish player
and awarded a pelanty.

Sadly for Ireland the ref and var are neutral and know the laws of the game.

What foul did irish lad make ? i'm genuinely interested, cos i don't see it, if you can enlighten me i'd be delighted

I'm just going off the photo in your link, if you can't see it then
it explains everything.

give my head piece we both know it was a penalty, england won game over, GL

Lol, ref got it right.

I thought both Ferguson and Szmodics should have had penalties for essentially the same thing. At the very least ref should have been sent to monitor.
20 years ago if you got anything on the ball and took the man after it was fine. But we have consistently seen that where you don't get enough to take it away from the attacker and he is in pole position to get to it and is taken down a pen is given. Guehi pulled Ferguson down and Walker tripped Szmodics. Neither player made enough of a complaint tho, which was naive.

England deserved winners and would have won even if a pen was given, seeing as they had to to top group.

Ref only sent to monitor if var deems him to have made clear and obvious error

If ref communicates to var they are fouling each each other and then
on second shout that it's an accidental coming together then they are not errors.

They are what happened

Pity we can't hear ref and have to guess.

Ferguson wasn't fouling Guehi, Guehi had a hold of his shirt which is arguably a penalty in itself. Ref gave a goal kick, didn't give a free-kick (or a penalty either). I doubt he told the var he saw Guehi pulling his shirt and even if he did he should have been sent to monitor.

Of course Ferguson was fouling Guehi, and that was first contact

The shirt tug inside box must have been 4th or 5th contact

As you see from photo in link Ferguson is clearly still fouling guehi

But forget Fergusons fouls and pick what you want
and you can have a pelanty, in yer dreams.

..

Nothing Ferguson did was a foul. He used his strength and got in behind Guehi. Guehi then pulled his shirt when he was beaten for pace and strength.

Used his strength, without possession of ball, going through guehi

That's a foul.

Do Ireland have to play two more tedious games to stay in B ?

What a carry on ffs
