England v Malta Match Night

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Malta have surprised me so far.
They've been a lot better than I was expecting.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Dion. Really? Should stick to lame daytime telly

 

[Insider]

To be noted that England don't leave any players up for opposition corners.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

I've turned over to the darts and football been relegated to my phone

 

[King Billy]

Malta have surprised me so far.

Best I’ve seen them by far.
In games gone by I think they have struggled to touch the ball in our half.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Our midfield is so poor. Gallagher terrible, Henderson safe and Arnold ineffective

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

What an absolute lethargic first half from England.

Not a single effort on target against a team ranked 140+ in the world.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Turgid stuff.

We will win nowt with Dourgate.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

I've turned over to the darts and football been relegated to my phone

It's more entertaining as well

 

[Insider]

What a week for Joleon Lescott. EFL Trophy at Bloomfield Rd on Tues watching The Mighty Seasiders and Friday night at Wembley watching the less than Mighty England.

 

[TangerineBayern]

Wow that was a terrible first half!

 

[Dougz]

Our midfield is so poor. Gallagher terrible, Henderson safe and Arnold ineffective

A lesson for those who query why Phillips partners Rice. The answer is on the pitch now

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

2 of the 3 tv pundits not convinced it should have been a penalty, and that Kane dragged his left leg into the keeper to try to buy one.

 

[tangerine_neil]

Sleep inducing stuff

 

[69skin]

Foden man of the first half so far
Malta playing well

Poor decision, Kane booked for diving when it's a def pen

Never a pen. Kane tried his usual trick of dangling his left leg knowing the keeper would make contact. Embarrassing!

 

[Dougz]

You said it, keeper made contact so it’s a pen. Makes no difference that Kane looked for it, there was contact.

 

[Brabinho]

Have I got this one wrong or didn't Blackpool have a Maltese international?

Daniel Bogdanovic

 

[Brabinho]

Daniel Nardiello?

Nardiello was Welsh I think

 

[Curryman]

This is like watching Blackpool in one of their poor halves.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Fair

 

[Old_Laytonian]

It's shit. I watched Chelsea,v Man City and it was Basketball match with both teams wanting to win. If this was Blackpool and Critchley...

 

[tommytwojags]

Never a pen. Kane tried his usual trick of dangling his left leg knowing the keeper would make contact. Embarrassing!

It's not that difficult to decide. If the keeper catches your left foot but both your feet go up in the air you're trying it on. Harry's an expert at that. I'm not criticising him. Most refs are too dumb to know the difference.

 

[Lobpob]

Just what exactly is Rashford trying to do it's like playing with ten men

 

[TSSeasider]

This is garbage.

CiN is even looking tempting.

 

[TSSeasider]

And the atmosphere at Wembley

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Hashford

 

[Lankyseasider]

Even getting in the way now !

 

[tommytwojags]

Rice and Palmer on. That should make it better. I like Palmer's creativity.

 

[Curryman]

How much are these players being paid? They should donate their money to Children in Need.

 

[Lobpob]

Even getting in the way now !

And off he goes, best place for him

 

[tangerine.com]

Rashford seems fed up.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Why use a match like this to use a player who has 13yrs experience but is now playing in front of 900 fans in the Middle East?

 

[tommytwojags]

63 mins and one shot on target.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

You said it, keeper made contact so it’s a pen. Makes no difference that Kane looked for it, there was contact.

I remember the good old days when football was a contact sport.

It is embarrassing when arguably the worlds top No.9 tries to cheat a penalty out of Mighty Malta.

 

[20togo]

How much are these players being paid? They should donate their money to Children in Need.

the money they get paid has been going to charity for a long time now. Criticise them about the performance not about the money they are NOT getting.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

To help further spread the game...

Our Jordan is a prophet of the beautiful game.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Rashford seems fed up.

He can join the club.

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

The usual moaners on here.
You only have to wait a few more hours to continue having a dig at your team.
Give Malta some credit. They are playing out of their skins and giving England a game.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

These paper planes are more entertaining than the football

Er

perhaps because womens’ football has to be acceptable

 

[Wizzerboy]

I can recommend The songs of Marc Bolan and TRex on sky arts.
That England match was shite

Oh FFS come on Malta are ranked 171st in the FIFA rankings for Christ sake.

 

[Pasty Muncher]

To be fair, the England players always donate their match fees to charity but it's not well publicised.

Are Malta not playing like they always play? Well organised, a couple of National League players, lose by 2 or 3.

Give over. It's absolute garbage from our perspective. Even the usually positive Dion Dublin thinks so as well.

Oh goal.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

And a moment of magic.

It's painful listening to the Oracle from Homes Under the Hammer

 

[20togo]

joke

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Has there been a nuclear strike?

 

[Sooty59]

I was about to post this is shite when we score 2
