2024 UEFA European Football Championship

Why was the Danish goal disallowed. Not another chest hair across the offside line. You can't celebrate a goal anymore as you are not sure if it's allowed.

Ruining watching the game for me.

Then Germany gets a penalty moments later. FFS!

[Cupramax]

Oliver’s usually a decent ref but he’s making a massive pigs ear of this.

[Radec]

Aww Havertz, did the hard part

[TCEvo]

Has to score there!

[J6542]

How is that a booking? If the danish player had went down injured would the free kick and yellow went the other way?

[g4ry13]

Havertz really is a bit st.

[Yazza54]

Refs a fkin gimp

This.

Another good goal and finish, how Havertz should have scored his chance.

Almost certainly yes.

It's mental.

VAR has totally killed the game of football. A once enjoyable sport has stooped to the depths now after watching this crock of st tonight. Both McCoist and Clive seemed totally despondent with it also. I’ve watched my last game until they get rid of this diabolical nannying of the game.

[G-wiz]

Not convinced by this German side.

They haven't been convincing for the last 10 years.

[J6542]

Fast offside decisions all tournament until the English officials are involved. We need to ditch var from the premier league

[croyde]

So now the German goal disallowed.

I have never seen so many goals disallowed in a championship

[2HFL]

Thunderbolts and lightning….



Oh mama mia let me go.

[LF5335]

VAR ruining the game, ably supported by English officials.

Completely wrecked what looked like a classic match in the making.

Offside is bks. No way can they be that accurate about when the ball was played. Handball decision even worse. You may as well just start kicking the ball at opposing players rather than try to score. Penalty should have been disallowed as Havertz stopped his run to the ball.

[asfault]

Maybe var is showing that so many goals were just as a result of cheating or getting offside advantage before...

[Flip Martian]

The American ref in the studio explained the laws of the game very well - and how Oliver was basically hand tied. The laws are now an ass. Ange said it right - VAR is now taking refereeing away from the referees. Once Oliver was called to the screen, he had no choice but to go with it - those are the rules. That semi automatic offside needs recalibrating so it's back to being near "clear daylight" and not measuring and comparing extremities minutely. It's crap. That handball law likewise - there is no way the Danish player could have had his hand anywhere else at that time.

Tonight just highlighted how crap the laws have got. So many disallowed goals in this tournament now, it's really spoiling it.

This swiss team world annihilate England based on this performance

True but England have to win before they face the Swiss and somehow I can't see England winning tomorrow - they'll just try to play to avoid losing as usual!
