Main character syndrome is a serious problem when it comes to Michael Oliver.

Interesting to see that (some) Man City fans have pivoted very quickly from “We’re innocent. It’s a conspiracy. Show me the evidence.” to “The rules aren’t fair. How else were we supposed to compete?” … :)

@Stillmanator No need to demand respect. The lad earned it the hard way.

@brucemillington @HLTCO Spoiler alert: they’re wrong

[Andrew Burrell @AndyBurrell]

@HLTCO Lad has a great mentality. If he gets regular games there is still plenty of untapped potential.

@SuhailChowdhary Keep working on your delivery and remember that comedy is all about timing.

@prodnose Southgate will still insist on playing a man (Harry Kane) who clearly cannot run. That’s not Kane’s fault, but it’s wilful negligence on the part of the manager.

[Danny Baker @prodnose]

My genuine joy at us being in the final only tempered by Gary Neville now giving major credit to Gareth Southgate who, frankly, has bumbled through this tournament with a terrific squad that he has hopelessly mismanaged.

[Andrew Burrell @AndyBurrell]

Apparently Southgate deserves credit for his substitutions … I mean bringing on a striker who can actually RUN is a very bold move. Alternatively … why did he not start Watkins???

[Andrew Burrell @AndyBurrell]

Innovative ‘false 9’ formation from England tonight. I mean they have a real #9 on the pitch but he prefers to hang around the halfway line instead of the penalty box #playingwith10men

[Andrew Burrell @AndyBurrell]

@England @HKane Never. Ever. A. Penalty. Although I suppose we could call it quits after Koeman somehow wasn’t send off in 1993???

[Andrew Burrell @AndyBurrell]

Kane can’t even run. Will Southgate have the courage to take him off? Never!

@TrungTPhan “Containerization has only become the norm … in the last 15 years” … ??? Really I’d say it has been the norm for 30+ in many places. I remember seeing garbage bags in Naples 15 years ago but I put that down to Naples being … well Naples!

[Jonathan Wilson @jonawils]

No Englishman has had a bigger impact on this tournament than Michael Oliver. At last we have somebody who can sit in the middle of the park and dictate the game. Proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@jamiecweir Agree. I thought it was a penalty in real time but as soon as I saw the first replay I wasn’t so sure. It’s a very odd movement. I’d be screaming for a penalty if I was a Scotland fan but would also think it was a bit soft if it was given against my team.
