Can’t believe Scotland haven’t scored. All those chances.

DuncinToffee · 14/06/2021 15:39

Another double change
James Forrest and Kevin Nisbet replacing Stephen O'Donnell and Lyndon Dykes.

Come on!

FT 2-0 defeat for Scotland.
Disappointing result especially as Scotland had chances.

You don’t want to win the group anyway, easier games if you come second Wink

Poland v Slovakia is about to start. I have it on in the background as I really have to get on with some other stuff.

I have to pick up DS3 & friend at an undisclosed time in the very near future so can't get settled. chances are I'm missing the whole game.

why can't 16 y olds drive already?!🙄😁

MrsGulDukat · 14/06/2021 17:09

Still work so will miss most of the game.

DuncinToffee · 14/06/2021 17:55

Just checking the score, pleasantly suprised it is 1-0 to Slovakia.

Ah just seen the goal as well, unlucky goalie. Commentators seem impressed with Slovakia and the match

Anyone else finding the ITV commentary a bit hard to listen to?

Felt a wee bit for Scotland as they didn't play too badly.

Slovakia are impressive. Making plenty of chances.

RunningFromInsanity · 14/06/2021 18:04

Didn’t take long!

DuncinToffee · 14/06/2021 18:04

And Poland equalise within 30 seconds

Can’t stand the female commentator, dropping her ‘t’s and ‘h’s It’s not the ‘first alf’ A pet peeve of mine.
DuncinToffee · 14/06/2021 18:10

Is she Emma Hayes, the Chelsea Women manager?

First sending off, Polish player shown second yellow card

OP posts:
MrsGulDukat · 14/06/2021 18:21

That was a bit harsh.

ILoveYou3000 · 14/06/2021 18:25

No I can't stand the female commentator (Emma Hayes I believe) either! It feels like she's just talking and talking and trying to prove her knowledge but saying very little about what's happening on the pitch. Sounds very unnatural. Also found John Hartson yesterday tedious. I could listen to Ally McCoist all day though.

That card did seem a little harsh but suppose it was his second yellow.

DuncinToffee · 14/06/2021 18:27

Ooh, nice goal Slovakia

DuncinToffee · 14/06/2021 18:32

I don't mind the commentating, I only half listen most of the time Grin

I am so glad it's not just me complaining about the commentary - as well as the above she misses off gs as well.

As I am retired I have watched all the matches, so please may I join? You can tell my allegiance from my username. My DH was 18 for the 1966 World Cup - his school took some lucky people to the finals. We still have his ticket and programme.

Hellocatshome · 14/06/2021 18:36

I dont like ITV commentary at the best of times but the female commentator is annoying me. I am glad the amount of female pundits and commentators is on the rise though.

DuncinToffee · 14/06/2021 18:40

You are very welcome NUFC69
