England V Macedonia Match Thread

Recommended Posts

Yes :angry:

At least it doesn't sound as though it is any good...well, until the last seconds of the first half.

First half was absolutely poor. I preferred watching the France-Italy rematch, much more entertaining and better all-round viewing. Disappointing game from England tonight, Macedonia actually look the better side. Serves people right for putting the game exclusively on Sky as opposed to Terrestrial

I was watching it on the net with Chinese commentry, in the end I just did other stuff and waited for the commentators to get excited (very excited).

I think they will start to tire around the 60-65 minute mark and we will have them pinned for the last 25/30 mins of the half, whether we will turn possession into goals we will see.

Well done Crouchy Boy :D

Can I just say how shite it is to see the Macedonian fans making loads of noise and then the only response Our fans can give back is A shite Off tune) blow of the trumpet :rolleyes::blink:

Starting to wish I hadnt Voted for that Band at the Walkers :P:blink:

Got about £60 riding on 3-0 at 6/1

Oops....:pinch: :doh:

Before the game I was thinking 3-0 and was going to put some money on it but when I got to the bookies they'd closed, so it did me a favour really! Athough I wouldn't have risked anywhere near £60...

BBC have all the home matches of the qualifying. Sky all the away matches. Its good that we get to watch half the matches on terrestrial compared to previous campaigns.

It's good that we get half, but it's not right. I think that all of the National team's games should be shown on terrestrial TV, especially considering that not every household in the UK has access to Sky Sports, yet may still want to watch the team on their travels. At the end of the day, it's all about money, as was the case with the ECB selling the cricket rights to BSkyB after the ashes (bad move in most people's opinions).

Disappointing game of football as well. England were never completely comfortable and they didn't look like a threatening, dangerous, world beating side. Then again, they were away in a hostile place, but even so, they didn't play very good football. Reminded me of Sven's England. A win is a win, but like people say about Leicester, the football is sh*te and fans deserve better, especially considering the quality England have at their disposal.

I didn't lose anything because I had Scotland 2-1 @ 9/1 and England 3-0 @ 6/1 bet cost £15 but I'll pick up £50 so nice little earner in the end :thumbup:

If anything it should be the other way round, even though this debate doesn't effect me because I have Sky.But if I didnt I would much prefer to see the away games. Because then I'd go to more home games, I'm thinking of going to the next one v Macedonia again ot Old Trafford but I doubt they'll be more than 50,000 there due to it being on BBC. If it were on sky it would sell out 75,000, but theres no way I'd ever go to a country like France or Spain to watch England let alone Maccedonia meaning more people who can't go can see it.

Not worth watching MOTD then?

Only for the Northern Ireland game.

They played a lot better than England did! :o

I'm not surprised there's so little comment.

It was like any number of dire away performances during the Sven era.

Just as well we'll have Rooney and Joe Cole back next month.
