Whitey Grandad Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Just now, saintant said: You're saying he stuck his leg there deliberately I'm simply saying at that speed he would not have had the time or awareness to think about where his leg was. He was chasing the ball and managed to get between the defender and the ball - what happened after that was caused by the defender who, in desperation, almost fell onto Stu as he was doing anything he could to stop him getting a shot away. Anywhere else on the pitch and that referee immediately awards a free kick to Scotland. Of course he had time, and plenty of it. He wasn’t between the defender and the ball, he was off to one side. That’s why he fell to his right as he stuck his left leg out in desperation. The defender fell on him because Stu tripped him. Anywhere else and Hungary get a free kick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 46 minutes ago, TheAlehouseBrawlers said: Maybe some would say ‘shielding’, some might say ‘obstruction’ Opinions, eh? 😎 Obstruction is only a thing if the ball is not within playing distance. If it is within playing distance, players have the right to 'shield' the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is within playing distance, players have the right to 'shield' the ball. Quite correct. This is something that annoys a lot of people, especially when a player is shielding the ball as it goes out of play. However, shielding does not allow a player to block an opponent by sticking a leg across him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint NL Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 There are a few similarities between the England situation and Saints at the end of the season. We looked dead and buried going into the league game with Leeds. Martin switched it up to a back three, we won the game and went into the playoffs with renewed confidence and won. Tomorrow nights England game is that Leeds moment. If Southgate can switch up the players/formation/whatever to give a good performance, win the group and go into the next round with a spring in the step. Let's see if he can do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Spain, Germany, Portugal and France all in the other side of the knockouts now if England top their group. With the quality of players we’ve got, we’ve got a decent chance of going deep into yet another tournament if we can get some confidence and the team starts to click. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
