    100%. Its like having to watch your games through a club tv channel of a team you don't support, with all the inbuilt bias. I made the same point during the some of the Welsh games that by the end of their matches I was finding myself wanting Wales to get beat due to Robbie Savage and John Hartson's commentary.

    Denmark were finished tonight by 70 mins, if they were going to win it had to be in 90 mins. Doesn't change fact it was never a penalty and that hardly anyone has called it out as a dive. Worst offender was Harry Kane tonight, he just fell to the ground anytime the ball went up to him, it was like watching a rich mans Lee Miller. They have a good chance against Italy to be fair.

    Rome BTW was scary as phuck and there is nae getting away fae that and i will never deny it,The most dangerous ground i have ever set foot in my life was their Olympic stadium.
    Mind you nae harm did in the end come to me or my now deceased friend who went from Dundee to Rome with me by train,my luck never held with my days with the English though as i was attacked four times when both Scotland and England scored during the Home International match at Wembley in 79.
    Years later the same happened again after Scotland v Brazil in the world cup Spain 82,i was attacked again by the English after the game but before i was battered i put an English Corporal in hospital with the sweetest left hook i have ever delivered and broke his jaw . My punishment was a posting to the worst regiment in West Germany the 1st battalion The Black Watch OYF it was heaven for me and i loved every minute i spent with my ain folk,the strictest most disciplined regiment in the British army no doubt but i was in my element.
    I served with them in Northern Ireland the season we won the league and i was allowed by them to be a pig commander because although only attached they knew that i would always cover their backs and was so proud to wear the Red Hackle in my TOS,FACT.

    During that period in West Belfast a 4.5 month emergency tour the Black Watch thankfully lost not one man and the many Arabs who served with them were granted leave to see Dundee United win the League at Dens in May 83.
    The English regiment(Devon and Dorset's) who took over the most dangerous area in Northern Ireland where the Gallant forty twa served namely West Belfast including the Falls Road never had the same good fortune and lost a man during the transition period.
    They were out in the streets with the Black Watch showing them the ropes but unfortunately one of them never noticed a trip wire.

    I agree with you though about the Italians being the best cheating barstewards in europe and that is a FACT.
    You as per usual are just looking to pick a another cyber war but sorry i'm no getting involved we it, your team are are a set of divers with Kane and Sterling the main culprits and i hope the best team by far in Euro 2020 prevail on your ain midden on Sunday.
    No cyber war intended at all, just saying how it appears is all. Feel perfectly free to have a different opinion 👍

    Fair play to you GB, I guess that would have some influence on your feelings about the English. As far as the football goes, I'm Scottish by passion but have no I'll feeling to the English though. I do get annoyed by the arrogance of the commentators of course but like I said, a lifetime of practice means I can live with it. I turned up for my shift tonight and not one English guy in the building, but all the polish lads watching on their phones willing England to win, go figure?

    Yeah, you know it's not a penalty when the English commentators even say that. It's a weird one.
