UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : ENGLAND VS REPUBLIC OF IRELAND – 17/11/2024 (PHOTO – HARRY KANE SCORES)
WHAT A NIGHT FOR ENGLAND LAST NIGHT, WHERE THEY SMASHED IRELAND IN A FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER! IRELAND PLAYED WELL IN THE FIRST-HALF, AND WERE SEEMINGLY VERY WELL-ORGANISED, AND QUITE TOUGH FOR ENGLAND TO BREAK DOWN, AND INDEED, IT WAS STILL 0 – 0 AT HALF-TIME! BUT IN THE SECOND-HALF AT 51 MINS. IRELAND’S LIAM SCALES’ SECOND YELLOW CARD CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AFTER AN OBVIOUS FOUL ON JUDE BELLINGHAM, AND HE WAS RED-CARDED AND SENT OFF. (BY THE LOOK ON THE REF’S FACE, HE DIDN’T RELISH DOING IT!) CUE A POLISHED PENALTY FROM HARRY KANE FROM THE SPOT, WHO, WITH A LITTLE “SOFT-SHOE SHUFFLE” MANAGED TO SEND IRELAND’S CAOIMHIN KELLEHER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, HITTING THE BACK OF THE NET EASILY, AS IS HIS WANT, FROM SUCH A DISTANCE.

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : THURSDAY 14/11/2024 (PHOTO – CURTIS JONES ‘JUMPS FOR JOY’ AFTER HIS INCREDIBLE DEBUT BACKHEEL!)
IT WAS CERTAINLY A GAMBLE FOR LEE CARSLEY LAST NIGHT, AND HAD MANY SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS AS TO WHY HE WOULD CHOOSE TO LEAVE HARRY KANE ON THE BENCH, AND INSTEAD FIELD A TEAM FULL OF YOUNG STARS FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT MATCH. (AS THE THREE LIONS KNEW A WIN BY TWO GOALS MEANT THEY WOULD TAKE CONTROL OF GROUP B2.) BUT THOSE FEARS WERE SOON ALLAYED WITHIN THE FIRST TEN MINUTES (6 MINS. 22 SECS TO BE EXACT), WHEN OLLIE WATKINS HIT THE BACK OF THE NET WITH SOME GUSTO, AFTER SUPERB PASSING FROM BELLINGHAM, TO MADUEKE, WHO COULD SEE THAT OLLIE WATKINS WAS IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT SPOT AT THE RIGHT TIME. MUCH TO THE BEMUSEMENT OF THE MOSTLY-GREEK CROWD! (OR THE REF IT SEEMED, AS HE PROCEEDED TO HAND OUT YELLOW CARDS TO BELLINGHAM, GALLAGHER AND LATER, JORDAN PICKFORD, LIKE AN OVER-ZEALOUS CROUPIER!) JOR...

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE: 15/11/2024 (PHOTO – JOHN MCGINN CELEBRATES)
SCOTLAND MUST BE FEELING HAPPY TODAY FOLLOWING THEIR EXCITING MATCH AGAINST CROATIA LAST NIGHT, WHERE THERE WAS MUCH ACTION THROUGHOUT IN A VERY PHYSICAL MATCH INDEED. PETER SUCIC WAS HANDED A RED CARD BEFORE HALF-TIME, AFTER A FOUL ON BILLY GILMOUR EARLY IN THE MATCH EARNT HIM A YELLOW CARD, AND THEN, AGAIN, FOR MORE ARGEY-BARGEY WITH JOHN SOUTTAR, FOR WHICH HE RECEIVED THE RED, SO CROATIA WENT DOWN TO 10 MEN. (CUE AN ANGRY MODRIC WHO HAD WORDS WITH THE REF!) THERE WAS MUCH MORE DRAMA THROUGHOUT, WITH CROATIA HAVING 12 SHOTS, WITH 4 ON TARGET, AND SCOTLAND 8 SHOTS, WITH 2 ON TARGET, WITH THE SKILLS OF BOTH SCOTLAND’S GOALKEEPER CRAIG GORDON, AND CROATIA’S GOALY DOMINIK KOTARSKI EXTREMELY APPARENT, AND IT WASN’T UNTIL THE 86TH MINUTE THAT A GOAL FROM EITHER TEAM REACHED T...
