Great signing by Arsenal! Lol! Early days but a shocking miss, that will stay with him along time, brought back bad memories of eddie mcgoldrick and graham rix costing arsenal in europe. I thought it looked like he hit it a bit like Browner hit his at Wembley.

Now the Welsh will ram their heads even further up their own arses. Really hope they go out in the next round. If Roy had pulled his head out of his own arse we'd already be through.

Blimey. A goal for Portugal in extra time. I thought they always went to pens these days. Not quite over yet though.

Lovely pass for the goal. I think I forgot the whole of the rest of the match.

I think it's fair to say that the tradition is, if you lose to a dodgy goal/decision, then you can blame that goal/decision for the loss. Otherwise you just end up in a ridiculous series of what-ifs and hypotheses. I mean who wants to stand next to the bloke, who when you all shout for a clear, not-given pen at the football, says 'Well, who knows what would have happened had we been awarded the pen. It's nil-nil now, but if we had been awarded the pen, even if we'd scored, who's to say we would not have lost 8-1. At least now we're still on for a point.'

You're absolutely right of course, how could I have not seen that. My apologies.

I actually think he has a good point. France would still have been favourites to go through in my book, even allowing for penalties being 17 mins away. The decision was clearly unjust, though, and I hope it spurs Ireland on to the performance of their lives today.

I'm not sure it was pedantic, you said that the hand ball prevented Ireland from qualifying, I merely pointed out that you cannot know that for certain.

Not saying they would have qualified but that goal was the difference between them qualifying and HAVING A CHANCE OF QUALIFYING (if we're gonna be pedantic about it).

There's a big difference between that decision and say Lampard's goal being disallowed in a game where we were dominated by the Germans and ended up losing 4-1.

We weren't being dominated before Lampards goal. The game may have panned differently had the goal rightfully stood.

You are quite right I should have said you can't know they would have qualified. As you say, the hand ball in all probability prevented them from having the chance of qualifying.

We still had a whole 2nd half to do something about it but instead of scoring, we conceded 2 more goals. No complaints from me.
