As a complete neutral, I've just watched Wales beat Scotland 2-1 in a match, which in all fairness should have ended 2-1 to Scotland, but due to an incompetent linesman and a cheating Gareth Bale, should have ended 2-1 to Scotland.
With the score 1-0 to Scotland, Fletcher scored a perfectly good goal which would have put Scotland 2-0 up, but the lino flagged for an offence, which apart from himself, no one knew the reason why and the TV play-backs also showed conclusively that the goal should have stood.
Enter Gareth Bale, who then ran into the Scots penalty area and as the play-backs showed, he tripped himself up to win a match winning penalty and a final result of 2-1 to Wales, which in all fairness should have ended 2-1 to Scotland.
So, we now have a situation where Scottish Manager Craig Leven's job is on the line, whereas Chris Coleman's job would appear to be safe for the time being.
If ever a match fully justified the introduction of video technology, this was it, however, the cheating Bale aided by an incompetent Linesman dictated the outcome of this match, which makes a mockery of the game we all love.
The outcome of this match was a complete travesty of justice, although will the authorities do anything about it - no chance.
Incompetent officials and cheating players.

So that makes you the cheating Mirf I guess. Exactly the opposite happened to me on more than one occasion - though admittedly I wasn't as quick as Bale. If you're telling me you can say for definite that you can see Bale wasn't touched then you have a better telly than me - or you just refuse to see other sides to things once you have jumped to a conclusion - a bit like Clark being a good manager you could say.

Bale was touched by the defender, but not until after he'd already started his dive.
So it was never a penalty and the Scots were robbed.
PS: You're not a Welshman, or have Welsh ancestry?

Tez,
As I said, I'm a complete neutral and I don't rate Craig Leven much myself. However, when compared to that useless toss-r Chris Coleman, he's a star.
So, they can sack them both as far as I'm concerned and offer the job to Wor Lee - Surely he couldn't do any worse - could he?

Mirf...you don't have any Scottish ancestry perchance..?
Reaction of Maloney and other defenders??? None...now this usually tells you something!
Oh...and a further clue, Maloney talking to the media after the game..."Yeah I got a touch on him"
But hey, Mirf, you're the self confessed master of cheating...So I s'pose we'll have to go with you...

Brycey,
Are you insinuating that I'm a "F-cking Pleb"? - If so "You do not have to say anything - But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence"

inter..
we always go to millwall...its like having the jeremy kyle show on a grassed area...
large numbers of badly dressed bald men with silly ear rings and crass/cheap large jewellery items....interspersed with skinny rat boys with hoodies and bad skin, all engaged in hating everyone, probably including themselves..
Its a day out at the zoo, without feeding the animals..
