    I think he is another right back - we seem to have a collection of those - albeit none particularly outstanding.

    Probably why the guy looked so upset - basically his last kick could have well cost the club 120 million and maybe feared the negative reaction he'd get.

    A higher profile player in a higher profile game would have got all sorts.

    Tough game for Anthony Taylor in the Europa league final.

    Both sides spent more time rolling around and trying to get each other booked than playing football.

    I didn't watch it but followed it on the BBC... absolute comedy good from Emlyn Beglin! Some of the comments!
    And a retaken penalty to win it! By the guy who scored the winning penalty for Argentina in the WC final.
    Michael Oliver was 4th official, had every bit as hard a time as Anthony Taylor in the middle from what I read.

    So it finishes. Never looked like getting an equaliser.
    Shocking pitch too.

    Controversial penalty I understand but sound like we didn’t really play that well anyway .

    Alas, I haven't seen it. What I did see was a very "mature" Italian side and a typically ineffective England team.

    I presume that's why they played nearly three halves of extra time?

    14 added minutes after 30 minutes of football sounds so ridiculous.

    Yes apparently there was about 5 minutes worth of football in that period !

    Mourinho took defeat with his usual grace .

    Got to feel for Smith.

    Just 16 and sent off in a big game for his club.

    Some seem to think it was harsh but he was the last man so always at risk after missing the ball and taking out the attacker .



    Partick 2-0 up now .

    Roma and their fans seem to have taken their self inflicted defeat last night on poor Anthony Taylor and his family .



    From general consensus he did a decent Jin in a very tricky game full of cheating and time wasting .

    Sam Allardyce leaves Leeds by mutual agreement and the club says an announcement on the new head coach will be made in the coming weeks.

    Where next Sam?

    Ex Hornet Steven Berghuis in trouble for socking a Twente fan in the gob after the fan had racially abused Brian Brobbey <laugh> Consequently named Ajax player of the season !

    Wow.

    These play offs never fail to entertain .

    Malky’s Ross County have come back from 3-0 down v Partick to draw level .

    And what pressure in the penalty shootout - but well done Malky's team - I thought they had blown it.
