I’m totally against cheating in football but it’s a bit rich calling a referee out for something that happened nearly 20 years ago for which he was punished and served his time for when Toney has only just returned from a ban which included bets on games he played in. We either accept people make mistakes, serve a punishment and give them a second chance or ban them for life.

[@binbag5238]

The difference is that Toney isn’t required to display objective integrity on the pitch. He doesn’t have the power to influence the decisions in a game. The referee obviously does, has failed to act with integrity before, and should be banned.

[@livinginafantasyworld5164]

@@binbag5238 so if he’s bet on his team to lose he doesn’t have the ability to miss a 1 on 1 chance on purpose? I guess my view is the person the ref was 20 years ago might not be who he is now so he’s served his punishment and I’m assuming no other issues since it’s hard to suggest now he shouldn’t be fit to referee a game

Top Podcasting guys, I fancy an England France final too. England to beat Netherlands in a goalfest 3-2 after extra time. However, the bigger question over goal of the tournament has to be “What has been Micah’s shirt of the tournament?” There’s clearly been a few looking like they probably came from the Turkish Gucci factory rather than their main one, but Micah carries them off like nobody else could to be fair. My winner is the one from the other day with the Volcano on the front. Keep it up guys, and Al, come to a Boro home game and I’ll buy you a pint and a Parmo 😜

Alan saying The Dutch only came 3rd in their group, they beat Poland, should've beaten France, unlucky with that goal disallowed, and the Austria game was just a great game, could've went either way they battered Romania, beat a good Turkish team, saying they haven't played a "big gun", England have played Serbia, Denmark, Slovenia,Slovakia, Switzerland hardly world powerhouses Netherlands have scored 9 goals to England's 5, The Dutch should be favourites on that form

Gotta take in account that the Dutch had to leave 5 (potential) midfielders home with injuries : Frenkie de Jong, Atalanta's Teun Koopmeiners and Marten de Roon. and 2 Feyenoord players Quinten Timber and Mats Wiefer (now Brighton) are all injured ! With the midfielders Reijnders, Schouten and Veerman, they have just 24 caps between them ( with many as subs..) ! There are a lot of 'new' players that still needed to fit in like Xavi Simons (had to play wing in stead of '10' ) , Jeremie Frimpong ( a revelation at Bayer Leverkusen, but Dumfries has always been great in the NL team) , Micky van der Ven, Bologna's Joshua Zirkzee , Ajax Bryan Brobby ... There was a lot of puzzling what works best for the team ... Koeman still relies a lot on Memphis Depay , who was often injured the past 2 seasons ..

I beleive this with every fibre in my body. Start Watkins and finish with Kane and/or Toney.

I’m sorry but if we win this tournament having drawn almost every game, scored hardly any goals, had a handful of shots on target! Poor performances from players that could have been dropped for equally as talented ones, then no I don’t want us to win it. Not like that! ! it’s just terrible

Would rather see Southgate go so we can rebuild for a great chance at the World Cup than see us win the euros which leads to an extension of Southgate’s contract and at least 2 more years of dismal Southgate ball
