I've not seen any of the game, was flying from London just after kick off and now in a taxi home from Edinburgh airport got home for the penalties. England should be proud (even if they had 6 home games) but I don't understand why a manager who missed a vital penalty in a shoot out 25 years ago left the last 2 penalties on the shoulders of very young boys who were barely on the pitch.

There's no doubt that they did well, and I find the criticism of Southgate from some quarters over the top. He's put together the best England team in years. BUT...... Despite their home advantage: Couldn't score against one of the weakest teams in the tournament (Scotland) Needed and own-goal and a rebound from a penalty that never should have been awarded to win the semi-final Relying on somebody who should take to every match he plays in wearing a snorkel and flippers. And yet already I've seen social media comments about them surely going to "bring it home" in the next World Cup. At least we generally don't have illusions of grandeur, having learned our lesson after being led down that path by the Scottish media in 1978.

It surprised me that none of the pundits mentioned this at the time. I don't follow English football enough to really comment but scapegoats came to mind. Had they scored it would have been plaudited as a bit of managerial, tactical ingenuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Good year for Italy so far. They are the first country to win the Euro's and Eurovision in the same year. They nearly had a hat trick of successes but Berrettinie lost out to Djokovic in the Wimbledon mens final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 How many Thistle substitutes have taken penalties in shoot outs? I am thinking Kris Doolan in the Challenge Cup Final, but there may be other examples. Who was the latest in terms of game time to come on, and therefore the most likely to be regarded as a "penalty-taking substitute"? [I would tend to ignore League Cup group stage mini-shoot outs, where there is little pressure, and focus on situations where there is immediate jeapordy as regards Cup or promotion/relegation play off elimination.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Yep, first of all thanks BowenBoys for running this! And congrats to winner jaggy and to Auld Jag who was just pipped at the post. No third-place play-off in this one anyway so will take a shared bronze medal with BILL.H from my debut tournament! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
