England v Iran - Match Thread

That is going to sting.

DaveMehmet

They’re going to need a lot of tissue to bung that hooter up 

Uboat

That has literally given me a headache. 

Cafc43v3r

They really need to make it so both players can come off and be assessed properly and go back on if appropriate.

Don’t they realise my lunch break is 1-2pm ?

Exactly why VAR is hated:

A over zealous offside given yesterday
A 100% penalty not given today 

ForeverAddickted

Cmon... He could be getting treatment at the side of the pitch, whilst the game continues

Its only England, not like we'll score in his absense

Utter f***ing joke if he stays on...

Boycie is the Iranian physio

IdleHans

Come on England, clatter him again in the next two minutes

RodneyCharltonTrotta

Ridiculous keeping keeper on.

Uboat

If this bloke stays on, just shoot from anywhere. 

ForeverAddickted

lol!... He doesnt have a clue where he even is!!!

Sillybilly

Should be shoot on sight now if the keeper is gaga. 

Disgrace that he’s carrying on though!

DamoNorthStand

This is mental - guy doesn’t know what day of the week it is 

AddicksAddict

Dreadful decision to let him play on.

DaveMehmet

England need to rain in the shots for the next 10 minutes or so, that keeper's in no fit state to continue

Cafc43v3r

He doesn't even know where he is, it's a disgrace TBH. 

ForeverAddickted

Cant wait for us to shoot, and for this bloke to dive the other way

This is the farce of concussion protocols, unless you have entirely neutral medical staff making the call 

He stayed on for 5 minutes when he could have put himself in further danger if he got clattered at a corner 

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Football doesn't take concussion seriously - I just hope he's okay.

ForeverAddickted

Oh cmon, this is fucking ridiculous - Book him for time wasting

se9addick

Need to read up on the concussion protocol for this tournament, I’m astonished the ‘keeper is making the call on whether or not he can carry on

jimmymelrose

We had a thirty second window of opportunity to bang the ball high into the six yard area with a big challenge there with a half conscious goalkeeper. We wasted it.

killerandflash

Gutted for him individually, as his WC is effectively over now, but that was a farce

Unbelievable he wasn't taken off immediately.

ForeverAddickted

Bloody hell - We're making strides with England fans in the stands arent we...

At least he can say that he kept a clean sheet and made a really decent save!
