The Euro 2024 Thread

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Ralston, who normally looks as though he has a mistake in him, gifts the chance for a Swiss equaliser.

Adams hasn't had much of the ball, but is showing some decent movement.

 

[Andy Hill]

Adams really is very average…. but admittedly he is getting very little support

[SaintsBarry74]

Scotlands probably the worst team at this euros, such horrible defending.

[Baird of the land]

Tierney hamstrings seem to be made of glass. 

[East Kent Saint]

3 saves by Gunn so far !

[sfc4prem]

Hanley header off t'post

Must have put steel rods in his gloves to prevent flappy wrist syndrome!

[sfc4prem]

Lots of wasted drinks in the Swiss end there 😂

[Saint_clark]

First thing I noticed Adams do is dive screaming and rolling around for a freekick when he wasn't even touched. Playacting twat got the Swiss player booked, too.

Bet Wolves are buzzing that they've secured his services.

Second half much like the first. He puts in a shift, but is a bit isolated. A support striker looking for a partner.

Gunn, Ralston, Hanley and Henry all have a massive error waiting to happen. Put them together...

He was covering for someone else's error at the time too. Blighted with injuries, and hope he recovers soon.

Scotland's 6th ever goal at the Euros. Aptly shite, deflected in.

It looks like the keeper had the shot covered until the deflection but they have given McTominay the goal.

That finish from Shaqiri just looks better every time I see it.

The keeper 'having it covered' has no bearing on whether or not an o.g. is given. The original shot has to be off target, which McT's wasn't. What I do find irritating about the interpretation of this rule is incidents like the goal which denied Pelle a hat trick against Sunderland. The shot was clearly going in before it hit one of Liam Bridcutt's legs, then it bounced in off the other one and was given as an o.g. I would argue that had that player not touched the ball at all, the goal would have gone in, therefore it should have been Pelle's.

[skintsaint]

Remember Ostenstaads hattrick wasn't given due to I think G.Neville sliding and helping it in, even though it was clearly going in anyway, guess the rules have changed since then.

Third one was where he tipped the shot round the post . The commentary said what an awful miss by the forward , the replay showed Gunn tipping it round the post ! The first 2 were full length dives so well done .

What I don’t get is that it didn’t just deflect off the defender, he leathered it into the back of the net whilst trying to clear the ball.

[S-Clarke]

Serbia threatening to quit the Euro's should Uefa not punish Croatia and Albania for some slurs.

But it looks like they're quitting by their own accord anyway... 

[Saint Billy]

Tadic not the player he was, age is catching him up.

So many late goals this tournament! Madness!

[Sheaf Saint]

England unchanged.

How any competent manager can look at TAA's performance in midfield on Friday and think "yeah let's do that again" is unfathomable to me.

It is ridiculous 

[skintsaint]

Get a glimpse of what we might of had with Hjulmand playing.

[Hatch]

Loads of saints supporters in the Denmark end 😆

[AlexLaw76]

Trent is all over the show

[AlexLaw76]

Kanes movement and energy is almost non existent 

[saintant]

You know how poorly we've started when Hjobjerg is running the game.

[AlexLaw76]

He keeps giving it away (TAA)

Yep. Bag of nerves. And not a midfielder. Otherwise, perfect for the role. 

[Lighthouse]

Walker mugged him right off there.

[saintant]

Let's not sign the Denmark left back 🙂

Here we go again - wedded to our 18 yard line. Happens every time.

Yellow for Vest !

Southgate said he is good off the ball - now where have I heard that kind of rubbish before?

Vestergaard versus Saka seems like a red card waiting to happen

He's finding lots of space when they have the ball for sure.

We look like a pub team.

Well deserved.

[AlexLaw76]

Great goal, but we are pump.

Trent shit, Kane shite, foden shite

[Toadhall Saint]

And there it is. 

[Micky]

Great assist by Kane.
