Clockwork Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Norn Iron losing 1-0 in Geneva (75 mins) . Down to 10 men on 38 mins Jamal Lewis 2nd yellow, incredibly for wasting time on a throw in. What an absolute joke!!Gifted the Swiss the lead, just before the break though with a marginal offside decision going against Ian Baraclough’s men. ETA; finished 2-0 to Switzerland, hope the Slovenian Ref Slavko Vinci’s, enjoys whatever’s stuffed in the brown envelope he’ll pick up before heading home. Never seen such a blatantly biased performance from a match official. Very disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re so slow and play with zero tempo. They got to the final of the Euros scoring the exact same goal - a ball to the overlapping right back and a cut back to Kane or Sterling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the ref really think that Lewis was trying to run the clock down on 37 minutes with the game sitting at 0-0!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really mind why he gave the yellow or if it was correct, I just found it really, really funny. I don’t think that Northern Ireland can blame the referee for the loss given that they made a conscious decision to employ Ian Baraclough as their manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Two points dropped for Canada, 0-0 away to Jamaica. USA losing 1-0 in Panama makes Canada's result even worse imo. Chaotic scenes near the end of the Panama game with a few pitch invasions and various balls being kicked on to the pitch by what looked like Panama subbies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Another stunning result from the "amongst the favourites in Qatar" USMNT tonight as they managed to escape from the mighty Panama with just a single goal defeat. Not surprising given that more than half the team came from "one of the most skilful, entertaining leagues there is" - they might even have managed a draw if only they weren't having to carry 5 guys from the big European leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaica played tough and the awful pitch really limited out ability to play our free flowing game. We were probably good enough to Nick a 1-0 win but Jamaica played well.

Yes, and I don’t think it’s that far-fetched to assume that the boy was time-wasting . When there’s a gulf in class such as between Switzerland and Northern Ireland, the weaker team quite often begins their time-wasting as soon as the match begins.

In the clip I saw the commentator said they'd been warned about time wasting prior to this. It obviously wasn't just a random 'I fancy booking someone.' from the ref but obviously that doesn't make such a good story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji848] Even with the award of a really soft penalty (missed), the spoils were shared in Belfast in September. A deja vu moment in itself as Northern Ireland were controversially beaten in a 2017 play-off by the Swiss with an outrageous penalty decision resulting in a solitary goal defeat over two legs. Gifted the lead the lead on Saturday night, and held for over 50 minutes by 10 men until they squeezed a late 2nd. They’ve hardly steamrolled the Northern Irish in recent contests. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 I've been watching Slovenia v Russia and the first half has been excellent. 2-1 Russia with 3 really good goals. The Slovenian goal to get them back in the game was especially well worked. It's a must win for Slovenia so looking forward to the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 They drew 2-2 in the end. Would definitely rather avoid them or Russia (the other major contender in the group) if we make the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switzerland have played in as many international final tournaments in the last seven years as The Failed Statelet have done in their entire history. So yes, a gulf in class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
