[Wilbur]

nah, just constantly played out of position. He's not a winger, and he doesn't have the pace to play as a false nine. He's not as good as Xavi or Iniesta, so it makes sense for him to be dropped though.

Looks shite playing for Spain because he's played out of position, I should have said.

 

[Gareth Bale]

What shitty refereeing

 

[Mastadon]

Don't know about that.

Jones was very good up to Christmas.

Coates couldn't get ahead of Carragher.

Probably more to do with the manager than the ability levels. Don't get me wrong though, I actually like Jones as a player. He's a very useful, versatile defender who will turn out to be class. I just really like Coates as a CB. He has all the attributes to be right up there, and he has quite a lot of experience considering his age. Looked slightly shaky at times for us, but that's part of adapting to a new league, and overall he's been impressive.

Sometimes I think ronaldo just drills the wall on a fk purposely

What shitty refereeing

Nani went to ground too easy.

Also, dat goal against QPR...

 

[Gareth Bale]

Nani went to ground too easy.

I meant Pereira on Iniesta. You can't protect the ball like that.

Fair enough. Was just going by the EURO thread reactions.

 

[Wilbur]

Portugal's final ball is so poor

 

[K1LLER7]

Portugal pressing well.

 

[Facism]

cakir the clown, everyone.

 

[K1LLER7]

Lol this ref, wtf was that.

 

[Wilbur]

Fucking awful refereeing

 

[Gareth Bale]

This ref...

 

[Clegg]

Nani is wonderful.

The ref is a clown

 

[dc89]

Good effort by Ronaldo.

Also good on Spain wearing those black armbands. UEFA are ridiculously out of touch.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Nani's no Nathan Dyer though.

 

[Messi]

Ref is taking the piss

 

[Facism]

The ref is a clown

I told you all.

 

[Freewheelin']

Great turn by Nani!

 

[Wilbur]

Nani's no Nathan Dyer though.

Ref wouldn't have given advantage if it was Dyer because he would have been confident he would have scored from 50 yards.

 

[Kyoufu]

Referee demands this gif

 

[Wilbur]

Verano's being a little turd in the Euro thread haha

 

[Clegg]

United.

Please don't sell Nani.

 

[dc89]

What was that. The president of the Spanish FA (or their equivalent) is head of UEFA's section which appoints refs for games like this?

 

[K1LLER7]

Ronaldo not tracking back with Arbeloa running forward. Need to counter on that side.


Dirty tackle

 

[Clegg]

Silva has been just as poor as Fabregas in this tournament.

He can offer up small moments of brilliance but he's just not had a consistently good 90 minute performance.

I think Spain would be better served by having Pedro replace Silva.

 

[Gareth Bale]

lol Ronaldo doing his best Young impression

 

[K1LLER7]

Fergie buy Moutinho

 

[BlindCommunication]

Silva might play poorly but he still got three (or four?) assists and one goal.

Impressive pressing by Portugal so far, really forcing Spain out of their comfort zone. Spain have to go for longer passes, easily intercepted. Don't think Portugal can keep this up for 90 mins though.

 

[Clegg]

Holy shit

Wilbz has been banned.

 

[K1LLER7]

Wilbury banned

 

[Awesome Animals]

That was such a joke when it happened. Lost all credit with me at that point which I'm sure is devastating news to the multi-millionaire.

What did he do?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Wilbury banned

How'd he get banned?

I'm in the Euro thread too and I didn't see any particularly inflammatory posts from him.

EDIT: This may have been the post that did him in

 

[Meier]

Holy shit

Wilbz has been banned.

Think it was the buying refs comment? I don't see anything else that could have possibly caused it.. and that's a pretty odd banning decision if that was the reason.

 

[bjaelke]

Holy shit

Wilbz has been banned.

EURO thread is dangerous. I can't find any noteworthy posts.

 

[Messi]

Silva has been just as poor as Fabregas in this tournament.

He can offer up small moments of brilliance but he's just not had a consistently good 90 minute performance.

I think Spain would be better served by having Pedro replace Silva.

Spot on

Maybe it was all the dick jokes?

 

[Yen]

No great loss.

 

[Freewheelin']

Noooooooo Wilbz

 

[Willkiller]

Noooooooo Wilbury.

Does he have twitter?

 

[Kem0sabe]

Switch the jerseys for club ones and this could easily pass for a Barcelona - Madrid game.

 

[K1LLER7]

How'd he get banned?

I'm in the Euro thread too and I didn't see any particularly inflammatory posts from him.

No idea, nothing he said seemed ban worthy.

 

[bjaelke]

Noooooooo Wilbz

Step up your game, son.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Wilbury is no longer amongst us.

Thread has been cleansed.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Noooooooo Wilbz

What did he get banned for?

 

[Willkiller]

No idea, nothing he said seemed ban worthy.

He called Verano (who has also been banned) a 'petulant little oaf'

Only thing it could be

 

[Awesome Animals]

He said it was for these two posts:

Here is what he told me:

[LanceVance]

That euro thread is just a mess

 

[Yen]

Jeff and Wilbury gone, who will be the third?

 

[Clegg]

No great loss.

You'll soon be lamenting the lack of dick jokes and paedophilia in the thread.
