ITV (England) The 1973 Home Internationals (12.05.1973)

an abject and most disappointing performance by England which had the Goodison crowd booing them for some time slowly applauding oh you mean we have our lovely panel there waiting to familiarize us with that game but first From that we go to Goodison Park after the game where Brom spoke more about Ralph Ramsey. I think they have the right to be disappointed after all, it was an international match, it was particularly good and, as I said earlier, oh, now that our players deteriorated considerably after the penalty and we couldn't regain our touch understanding confidence all why do you think it went wrong after the penalty I don't know I think they were terribly disappointed I think the players are convinced from your seat in the stands Would you agree with them?

Well, it's not my place to agree or disagree with the referee, it was a penalty against the England team. I think this is probably something we don't necessarily have to live with, it's something we have to be able to get over disappointments with. at any stage or at any time during a match and it's important along with those feelings too, but I'm not entirely sure which panel will agree with what the England team thought about that penalty kick they took. Other ideas I know, but let's take a look at it now and see what we think because I think that brings up other issues that are relevant in many more games besides this international problem that you can see now when the ball goes into the penalty area.

Sammy Morgan goes for it and the momentum of Peters' story. Now the first question I'll ask the panel in a moment. Firstly, we'll see David Clements take one of the best penalties under pressure I've ever seen. For a long time it was not an easy moment, he has a lot of power in that left foot and he keeps it low and strong and no goalkeeper in the world could stop that particular penalty kick, but the problem that arose from that Malcolm Allison in the first place was is a penalty, well it's a penalty because anywhere else on the park they know a referee would have given a free kick and this is what happens very, very often in football, you see an obstruction, you see people pushing, you see people who pause, you see people. whipped in the penalty area, but because it's apparently an area, they don't give a penalty anywhere else in the park, they would give it, so there's no reason why that shouldn't have been a penalty.

Derry was a push, well. It seemed like watching the movie two or three times gave Jim a push for the cut. Morgan Sarah Morgan is a very strong favorite and definitely fell. I don't think it's how much Morgan really has the intellect up to Confer Alf to make the excuse that someone didn't play as well because of that movie. I know I didn't, but she said international players should get over that kind of scenario. He said this should be the sign that we are still making this an international team. I should get over that kind of set, that's right, Jackie, oh yeah, they should never comment on, you know, the story of the most surprised man in the world when, in fact, it apparently happened because Peter's story has to do that in almost every games you play, I think most complete errors.

Was the other winger blatantly pushed back when he was ready to head a ball? How many times over the course of a season do you push a forward without the ball in a situation like that in the penalty area and get away with it? That was once all I don't do. How many times do you put? How many people? Did people push him up? For example, over the years I've played, I get pushed into the box and then get penalized for pushing, but that's almost always the case. cowards in this situation and he simply will not give what the real decision requires.

See in most cases it's a penalty kick, but this referee did give it, yes, but he didn't give it when the body was pushed to the other end. Peter story, so For me, Morgan, it's simple, the issue that defenders always takes the referee in circumstances like this tends to side with the defender because if he doesn't do it, it's a penalty. Is it a good thing for football if we want to see skill and? attacking game that the referee sides with the defender, isn't it better that the referee does what this one did today? Yes, much better for the game.

I mean, the more goals we see, the more the situation will be correct in the penalty area. I mean great players. of everything, he played them in the penalty area, you know that people commit fouls and you instruct them in the penalty area, you know, then they have the right to an indirect free kick or a penalty and it is weaker, more rigorous the more we learn from This, you know the more we are, the more excitement it brings to the game. I mean, this is what the competition is about, the game is about planning the penalty area and this was a good ball and Morgan made a good run, you know, and history knew he was. fighting and they've structured a guy, oh, he pushed him in the back, it was a penalty, I mean, possibly go because you're on the opponent because you said if they should give in and say well, I mean, I'm talking. about the obstruction or I say so many times in the penalty area of ​​the obstruction and I don't know why it's a free kick and the pound goes to any other side of the post that they give it to you but we're going to give credit to the referee there I mean the referee en The boss was there and he thought that in his opinion it was a penalty kick, but one thing is that you never saw any England player run towards the reference and challenge a decision that is very important there, well, I think that We will say by March. to referee Clive Thomas for a brave and brave decision, but now what about Martin Shivers?

Two girls today, one of his best performances now, yeah, well, he never plays well against the announcer from hell Alan and there's a really good setup and he gives it, you know, a really hard one. time but today Martin was really with the ball here is the first goal the chips a great goal well I'm setting up the first post you know he came and beat everyone the ball look at the game from behind now I want to say it's a great goal he ran well, but of course we have to say that Pat Jennings and this is football one minute Footballer of the Year the next moment he's at an international letting the ball slip out of his hands while it's going, so I think that's something that everyone we know. in the football you have on top of the world, yeah, this is a shot we've never seen Jim before, you know, and it looks like a bad goal, yeah, it looks like a bad step and you know, it looks like he could have caught it.

I have it in his hands, he knocked him out, the second one comes now beautifully tight, beautiful, he was the only one who fought, yes, this is where he strengthened his composure. Here he beats Jennings on the ground. Jenny maybe should have gotten up and stayed there, you know? he just takes his time pushing the battle net if the Genesis guy could be Terry Neal it would have caused him some discomfort you know there's a good girl great God and other England performances Derek well I'd just like to have a brief words about Martin chargers. I have always done it.

He said about Martin's service that he has the equipment to be probably the best striker. I would say in Europe if he had been more aggressive today and I thought it was one of his most convincing performances and after watching the game I noticed his Tottenham fan and he said he had watched all those games this season, which was unholy his best performance of the season, so he kept it for a great paddy. A lot of people say about Martin Shippers that he doesn't really reach his potential and that maybe he is a lazy player, he has a lot of talent, but he doesn't do this.

Do you think maybe he saw the danger sign today and thought she really had to go herself? 11 you guys are always great family guys who never used the ability God gave you. I'm always afraid to use the word Oye and that's the only thing that has always been like that almost Martín Chávez is in everything else except that he has never used his weight on his head I think I think it responds more to the atmosphere of Chile, you know . I mean, when I've seen him, if the crowd starts singing, shakes and he starts moving, he always scores and then he really rocks.

You know, of course, I'll tell you now that it's a very difficult game at the end at a time when the rest of the crowd. The England players weren't doing it, you know, that's the same thing, daph the game. I thought Martin for us was magical, he was getting on board, he was knocking him down, who was making runs and I thought him with the other guy, Chanin, you know, challenge with Chivas today. because Chanin was always making these positive runs when I played balls in front of him that didn't come out of the formation today, but you know the kind of runs he makes that we've talked about before and these are going to pay off. for England, the sovereign that I launched like this with the acceleration, three of them don't really work together.

I think John Richards, Cheevers and Shannon don't really work together, yeah, which is a little unfortunate today, you'd say in the role they asked. I don't think it suits you at all. Richards did very well. He was playing in a position he doesn't normally occupy. The wolves are probably trying to find space, but here they could have taken a man. but he opens this play quite well, a constructive move that led to one of the most exciting moves. That Beautiful Ball's Singles Return by Colleen Bell. His ball, he plays it. Cheevers knocks her down and that was a really Jennings moment from Pat.

I did, but that's a lesson, all from Richards, you know, Richards is a guy who attacks the defense and runs through the defense and really causes them problems to turn quickly in the box, but he was never able to get in the box. , you know, my chills There and Shannon was there and he had to plan a situation that was very strange 200 and doesn't suit him at all, in fact, it's really making your debut and playing in a position that I've never seen before, John. Richards actually voted as much as he did and also that John Ritz is really a leader, like an objective man, he really should be beaten all the time and fed a lot of things and he didn't really plan for such a natural role. today and I just really hope he is considered for another good game, he shouldn't be judged on late hits okay let's leave in a moment and go to Ireland Northern Ireland, brave performance, I'm lucky I didn't get anything out of this Jacquie Charlton, the players that impressed you well, Genna didn't today.

I thought he would drop more balls today and I've seen that before, but I like to read the news to play ahead of time. We have a couple of ambitions. Anderson Anderson did exceptionally well. to say this is a normal estimate for lunch, it's Martin O'Neill there with the third level photo that combination with the two that caught my eye Trevor Anderson and Martin O'Neill, we caught some glimpses of them now it's Hamilton on the ball and we see here how Anderson beats Bobby most beautifully and puts in a beautiful low harden which is a dangerous ball that crosses the target area and really invites to be put into the net and finally from this kick again right near the end of the game as Tommy Jackson shoots and I thought O'Neill here showed real class, he comes back with the ball, he aims for his target, which is Anderson, Anderson takes it down, he beats a man, but of all people again it's Bobby Morel, reads, comes out of nowhere and stops.

That opportunity was a good performance, Jackie, because of no good performance from them up to this point. I thought the boy would have gotten the ball in the last moments. You know, he was running away on his fleet foot and I think Bobby Moore read that right, but only you know. he sees you signed me, he did well, Tommy Jackson, what extremely tough midfielders, well he completed very well, we are involved and I thought David Craig at left back had another very good game, he was outstanding in Tuesday's game and Deb Clements has been a very underrated player for years and years Jim Scotland to Wales zero there he is in George Graham obviously benefiting from Paddy's authorization coach today Paddy now today you and Dario we are talking about Willie Ormond you had an argument one of you thought that well you thought Willie Amon shouldn't have split the team and Derrick thought he had the right to choose which team he wanted now, what do you say about the result?

You haven't seen it, of course, that is also a good result, the best. I mean to prevent Scotland from overcoming one of Em wants to get as many players as he can to improve, they are at the same time that the Nazis are a politician, the network was that there was some way, but don't evade the question, patty. criticized Willie Roman for his team selection this morning, you and Tommy Docherty know this because he was with someone who actually chose a team this morning that was criticized like the morning newspaper by the Manchester United manager who had no right to criticize Willy Loman because Willie Rahm and I, right?

I haven't read about criticizing 15 so practically the discussion if you stay silent will go away like a thorn. He should have won today in wonderful fashion. I'm going to have to listen to it, you won't, but leave it. I remind you of Scotland versus Ireland next Wednesday at 10:30 on ITV andthen the big one on Saturday live on World of Sport from Wembley England vs Scotland, the climax of the entire tournament, see you then.
