I'd be aggrieved if that was given against my team as a pen tbh

Not a lot in that half so tough for Scotland to be behind. I think the key is they need to be willing to go for it pretty early here because the Czechs aren't going to open up chasing a second.
You just ran into him you daft bint.

He's going by him and the guy throws a body check.
I'm not arguing this, I've seen guys like Grealish and Zaha get 35 of those a season in midfield.
Comfortable for the Czechs.
I worry the Scots will even manage to get a point tbh

You’ll be the only person on here thinking that’s a foul.

In midfield the ref is giving that. Should it be a penalty? Well they bend the rules in the box all the time so I guess not.

Should be an exciting second half. Not great skills on show but plenty effort.
It's just not a penalty. If anything he fouled the defender by barging into him at full speed.

Clarkes too narrow.
From where I’m at, Czechs have O’Donnell and Christie marked out the game. Robertson is isolated on the left to the extent that Czechs aren’t even leaving anyone there, and that’s where all the creativity is at.
Both sides are poor, but Christ, he needs to mix it up Clarke, needs movement, needs some hunger. Everyone seems nervous.

Football has a charge rule now?
No, I'm saying it was just a normal football collision and the ref was right to play on. But if he was going to give a foul, it was more of a foul on the defender. The defender was stood still and got clattered. Normal contact happens in football without there being an offence comitted every time.

For me the defender lines him up and never even acts like playing the ball. As I've said in midfield or on the wing if a defender does that has a guy knocks the ball past him it is being given whether the player dribbling is running fast or not. But in the box the rules are always different.
Same goes for that Turkey handball the other day. If it is the center of the field and a guy flicks a ball past a defender whose arm is out like that and blocks it the handball is being called. That's just how it goes.
It’s not a pen, I understand you hate England and so therefore have to love Scotland but no, it is not a pen.
