So how did Ireland tear through England? | Six Nations 2021 | The Squidge Report

- Ireland and England met in Dublin for a game that would tell us whether their Six Nations was an abject failure or something to build on. So how did Ireland finish on a high, and was this Six Nations truly an abject failure for Eddie Jones?

Spare a thought for CJ Stander, last game for Ireland and not a single fan in the stadium to cheer him off the pitch. Could see the tears in his eyes as the final whistle went. Great player, hope he gets on the Lions tour.

@Ryland Brayden thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ryland Brayden it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!

“Turned Johnny May into Johnny Should Have”
Loved the joke😂
I went to write it and found this at the top with 126 likes
“Johnny Might”
I almost choked with that one
@@malindirugbyfootballclub1180 imagine how I feel. i went to write it, saw it was written and went to write this and saw you had already commented what I was gonna say.
Here quicker than Brice Dulin presumably had to run away from Shaun Edwards after France v Scotland
Yeah man, that was a terrible brain fade indeed. But he is still a very skilled player and has contributed a lot to Les Bleus' success throughout this 6N, so I'm sure he'll learn from that
@@speedyrobot3987 Agreed. My comment was a light-hearted joke.
That made me laugh definitely more than Fabien Galthié after France v Scotland
@@deeps2169 Yeah, I knew it was a joke. It's just that sometimes I can get a little too passionate about my team 🤣
On the moment I hated him as much as Squidge must have hated the guy that sealed the ball against France. But well, these things happen. I'll regret eternally though the lucky try Scotland had
Tadgh Beirne is a master of creating fouls of opposing players. He forced English players into giving away penalties on 4 or 5 occasions and has been doing it all tournament
player of the tournament
England were giving away 10 penalties a game, its more of an indication of how bad England played this tournament, im surprised how much praise Ireland are getting. They lost to Wales and Scotland too.
@@anthonyr587 I agree England were very ill-disciplined all tournament but if you watch the Ireland matches Tadgh Beirne has been doing that to every team. If you want a good example of him forcing a penalty watch the first two minutes of this video m.ruclips.net/video/aB82fjCx6Z0/видео.html
As for the other two, Wales and Scotland also got a lot of praise for their performances but the reason why people are having this reaction isn’t that they bet England but Ireland have one of the best squads in world rugby but have been underperforming constantly for 2 and a half years. This seems like a very important win for this side as everything clicked virtually every component of their game worked. Yes England are shite but Ireland could only play who are in front of them and if that performance wasn’t a fluke Ireland could go back to winning trophies again and be a top 3/4 team in the world.
@@daireoreilly2548 Ireland always have great players mate, no dispute from me there. Even on a good day England struggle in Dublin. England are in transition, im not sure whether EJ is the best choice but he seems to work in cycles. As shite as we are though, there is still a reason why England have been to 3 WC finals in the last 4 world cups or so, I wouldn't be shocked if we make changes and look like a different team next 6 nations. That said, I am focused on the lions tour now, I love the British & Irish players coming together like warriors and giving it a good go, think its really good for Rugby.
@@symeremeyers4148 that's a big statement. I'm irish and tadhg beirne has been unreal, but Antoine dupont is on a different level of brilliance. Not just on a European level, but globally ..
Earls is a fantastic player. Jonny May talked before the game about how good he is as a winger, properly intelligent player who’s added so much to his game. Still playing some of his best rugby. Fitting that May was the one he burned for the try. Far from a snail!
Exactly, earls isn’t as athletic as he used to but he has managed to change his game from a run and jump type player to someone who uses intelligence to con defenders and make moves that can change the turn of the play. It’s seen here when he uses his body language to sell the lie he isn’t entering the back of the line out, hands on hips etc, but then he uses this shock to screw the England defence, I think if he was tackled by May it still would have been a try due to how well he was able to make the entire England defence do the opposite of what they should be doing
@@paul-scanlan earls always had the full skill set, just schmidt used him as a chaser
Keith earls is an exceedingly fast snail
Can't wait for the france v scotland breakdown

“If things aren’t always going well for England they drop from being possibly the best team in the world... to a bag of shit!”
Outstanding. 👏
ATM England are going through a transitioning period better to get it out the way now than the World Cup
Well they stayed within 3 of Wales at half despite the ref giving Wales 14 points.
😂 Hardly a first offence.
Not even possibly the best team. South Africa whipped everyone last World Cup. If any team is possibly the best team its them.
@@iswearallthetime South Africa had all the easy teams to get to the final. England just had a bad game need I remind you of New Zealand vs South Africa when New Zealand whipped them. Just one bad game from England that’s all.
A few things I learned as an Ireland fan. After 2020 I worried that Andy Farrell's heart was really in it when it came to beating England, but I'm delighted to be proved wrong. Our pack was overwhelmed by England's in the Autumn Nations, but not this time, and the difference was Iain Henderson and the two Tadhgs. We're incredibly reliant on Jwhatchamacallit Sexthingummybob, who is 106 and I always worry this will be the game he goes off for his final head injury assessment. Beyond him, we've got Ross Byrne, who is the best goal kicker in Ireland but doesn't do much else, Billy Burns and Jack Carty, who both have the skills but not the arrogance you need to play out-half, and Joey Carbery, who looks more convincing than any of them but can't stay fit for more than 20 minutes. And Keith Earls is old, small and slow, and is still Ireland's best winger, and in his eyes you can see the same stone cold evil you can see in Roy Keane's.
I wouldn't call Earls slow LOL
Harsh not to mention JJ Hanrahan
@@saoirsedeltufo7436 the rugby god himself 🙌
#CartyFor10
Just because this guy says Earls is slow doesn't mean it's true.
Ok great video but fuck sake man give Keith earls credit. Man is the most reliable winger Ireland have and one of the most reliable in the world. Unbelievable finisher and solid defender. Put some respect on his name
Exactly the fact he called him a snail going up against a ferrari goes to show he knows fvck all about him. Earls is fast as fvck.
Yeah give Keith a break damnit!
“Everyone’s favourite haunted onion” will never be bettered as a description of Keith Earls.
Half eaten cheerio was my favourite
So glad you could get the videos up and running again squidgy, your content is unique and amazing!
Earls a “snail”??! He’s been the quickest Irish player with almost a decade now
Larmour is faster. Earls has a great step, always has.
No, Earls is faster than Larmour. Watch Munster vs Leinster or Japan vs Ireland in straight footraces Earls beat him. Sad Earls is not as fast as he was in 2019.
@@jlm4455 earls isn’t the fastest player on the squad but he is faster than larmour, when was the last time you saw latmour outrun a defence and not just out step it, he is amazing at getting line breaks but he isn’t the fastest on any field he steps on
It's worth noting that in the move where Johnnny May is drawn into the ruck by Aki, It's Robbie Henshaw that made the initial tackle on May and then it's also Robbie Henshaw who makes the brialliant tackle on Lawrence on the other side of the pitch. 3:51
He had some tournament.
Yeah Henshaw moving from one wing to the other was the key to that defensive passage.
@@dairet1945 henshaw was just marking his opposite wing but aki caused the threat of turnover forcing johny may into the ruck.
You have no idea how fast I clicked on this
I feel like every england ireland game you've reviewed has mainly been about england. Although I appreciate how satisfying it must be explaining in great detail how england have lost a rugby match
I feel like he is like that everytime England plays in the Six Nations. I guess he knows more about their players or finds their innovation more interesting to analyse
@@kimok4716 Innovation, is that what we're calling it?
@@FakeMessiah94 Evolution would be a better word. I'm trying to go beyond the "sQuIdGe Is EnGliSh DeEp InSiDe HiM"

That snail is Ireland's 2nd top try scorer🐌
Honestly, as a Kiwi I’ve loved rugby my whole life but I’ve never played so there’s things going on that I don’t understand. The best thing in my rugby education was finding Squidge’s channel. I tell EVERYONE I know that likes rugby that they need to check him out! (I’m living in the UK so I get to see all of these games before seeing Squidge’s analysis, otherwise I’d be in the Southern Hemisphere wishing Squidge lived there and covered all of those games.)
never thought i'd say this as an irish rugby fan but, i appreciate you calling our team pricks. rugby sometimes is a dark art (tadhg beirne), sometimes its fleet footed magic (keith earls). pricks we were that day and it was great!
Love the videos but not sure about the comments on Tom Curry. Had a quiet tournament at the breakdown admittedly, but most dominant tackles in the tournament (any player), most tackles for England and second most carries by an English forward (behind billy v so no surprises) is a pretty strong display of his ability. Also the Irish 8’s try is surely on Cowan dickie, who leaves his post at guard at the last second to contest a dead ruck on his own try line🤷🏽♂️
I think the point squidgy was making was that currie is currently too up and down. His highs are awesome. Which shows up in his stats. But he makes - at the moment - way to many mistakes. He will be a great player, but he will become so by cutting down on the errors.
“On account of not being real” lol
Little unfair to Ireland here I think
True. He went the whole video without crediting the Ireland set piece which is just incredible and no mention of how they kept changing the point of contact in attack. I’ve just accepted now he isn’t Irelands biggest fan.
@@eoinh3816 apparently Ireland winning wasn’t from their quality but rather their ability to make teams play bad
@@adameverard2625 You can make teams play bad (Specifically in their attack) but you have to do a lot more than that to score 32 points aswell.
@@eoinh3816 exactly
@@adameverard2625 That IS their quality
In a post match interview after this game Andy Farrell described CJ Stander as "a mate forever" probably because he hit Owen Farrell a few digs when Owen was clinging onto his boot at last years six nations
When are we having lions squad prediction vid then??
The Ewels jokes are just amazing😂
@Tom Johnson earls I think
I can't understand why Squidge hasn't got a Westley (Cary Elwes character in The Princess Bride) reference in there for the mythical England lock sometimes known as Charlie Ewels. Or maybe he is the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Wales were shocking against 14 man Ireland idk what he's on about
Another master class of rugby analysis from Squidge. Looking forward to the Lions team video, think it could be one of the most balanced for a while. I think England may try their hand at Gatland but I’d imagine he will honour the pre-contract he has signed with the Chiefs to take over in 2022. I actually think Gatland could end up being the New Zealand coach 2029 when they take on the Lions.
Youthful-ish Crusaders coach 'Razor' Robertson will be AB's coach then. He good enough that plenty were upset Hansen's 2IC, Foster, was given the job instead of him. (For reference: Gatland is 57; Robertson is 46; Foster is 55.)
6:15 this was a leinster move from the 2014? or maybe 2015 season. semi final of the pro14 anyway. toner at the back down to nacewa for a try, worked exactly then as it did in this game. i wonder whether it was andy farrel or one of the older leinster players on the team (sexton maybe? or healy?) that brought it up and introduced it to the international squad.
O'Connell is said to be almost obsessed with video analysis. He's in charge of set piece so it is probably him.
@@magnuspeacock5857 very good point
@@magnuspeacock5857 true and since his arrival our line out has been magnificent.
"Thundertwatting" its these moments I watch you for.
I've even saved that word to my dictionary lol
Who knows what wouldve happened if Billy Burns found touch...
It shows how close the margins are. To be fair Ireland shouldn't have had the ball at that stage but for that awful kick from Gareth Davis
@@mackerel2002 yeah i mean he has no brain so what can you expect.
Had he done so and we scored from the line-out we would have won the 6N.
"turned Johnny may into Johnny should have"- classic
Actually Snorted at Ewells not being real. Well done
Ireland were brilliant and clinical. From an England fan with Irish heritage.
Genuinely great level-headed analysis of two teams that have performed pretty damn well this six nations. So glad to see it after the clamour that erupted on both sides of the water following this game. Keep up the good work my man
Are you mad? You’re saying England performed well this championship?
Was it the kind of performance they’re used to? No, but I’d say it’s an expected dip following a year and a half of dominance. They found themselves caught out in a similar manner Ireland did in 2019, figured out by opponents that had been gunning for them since the start of the tournament. England went into each game as favourites and always looked like they could still win those games no matter the scoreline. Add to that that this dip in form is an expected side effect of Eddie Jones’ intricate systems and I’d go so far as to say I wouldn’t want to play against England any time soon.
@@jayparkerryan3262 Thing is, mate, that’s a dozen or so below par performances on the trot (perhaps excluding the France game). Going into games as favourites, as you point out, and then losing proves the point, doesn’t it?
The team responded and played well leading up to WC and simply haven’t done so in 17 or 18 months since.
That’s not just a little blip, that’s a team that is habitually no longer responding to the coach or rising to the occasion.
They won the Autumn Nations cup with serious grit against France right? That may not have been a classic game but it certainly showed conviction from the players to fight it out. Ditto to the game they played this year. And yeah a couple of key players suffered a loss in form (Itoje and Curry come to mind), but the team as a whole never felt totally beaten to me. The Scottish game was just a single scorer and Wales had to pull off a hell of a performance to put them away. In terms of teams worldwide, I’d still definitely consider them top five
@@jayparkerryan3262 Dude, the French team in the Autumn nations cup was France's second string!! It was their B team and England (A team!) scraped past them in the last minute. Call is serious grit if you like but they squeezed past France B team. That's just a fact.
And rewind 17 or 18 months, England were the same team as they are today but they were operating on a totally different level, hammering Australia, completely outplaying All Blacks. They haven't performed on that level since so there's no harm in asking why.
That team on that level wouldn't have lost 3 games in this year's 6 Nations and finished below everyone except Italy
It's been a clear decline and although I completely agree not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and that getting rid of Eddie Jones isn't necessarily the right thing to do, you can't ignore that the same players have failed to consistently perform for 12 or 13 matches now, bar maybe one exception, so it's right to ask the question whether it's time to change.
You need to be honest about the performances though, and not gloss over them. They haven't been good enough
Honestly beating England is almost as good as winning the six nations
I think we all feel the same
We did both 😂 🏴
Are you actually really that happy that you'd rather beat England than win actual trophies? Small minded mentality
@@xxwales15xx33 He said almost as good, not better. And also, ever heard of a joke? They're kind of fun to laugh at sometimes.
@@xxwales15xx33 spotted the Englishman
I think Ireland will win the 6 nations next year, the only team that beat them really fair and square were France, and even then 7 possible starting players were injured for that game, yes Wales were brilliant but if POM didn’t get a red card in that game then Ireland could of very easily won it, if they don’t get any stupid red cards and be lucky enough to keep their injury list in check, they could very easily win it grand slam or not
I'm not convinced Ireland have the players to come in and replace the likes of Murray and Sexton, a completely different team when those 2 are on song.
@@xxwales15xx33 Leinster regularly play without Sexton, Munster regularly play without Murray. The players are there, they just need more international game time
Love the commentary around the 2 minute mark. Brutal but hit the nail on the head! Cheers Squidge!
I swear everytime I hear about Juniper Saxburrow I crack up
Laughed out loud three times at 'johnny should have', 'didn't let ford know on account of not being real' and the term 'thundertwatting it'
Great video! Makes the pain of the end of the 6 nations, that bit more bearable
"A snail"???? If EVER further research was warranted...
Petition to rename "parking the bus" to "parking the Julian Savea" when talking about rugby teams running down the clock.

Such a great video so glad you were able to sort things with your laptop squidge!
Squidge Rugby British Irons Lions full squad selection video has to happen!
Didn't you call Ford the best 10 in the world a few weeks ago and yet here you have him throwing passes into touch
The bitterness is hilarious.
Great video, from an appreciative Irish person.
One little flaw in your analysis.
Wales beat Ireland playing well.....against a 14 man Ireland for much of the game.
It could be argued Ireland lost the game rather than Wales win it after the disastrous penalty at the end.
Wish you'd included the fact Wales were a man up for so much of the match, would be a little more honest.
Every 6N at their best (apart from the wooden spooners),can be the best in the world. Great video as always!!
It must be a month of Sundays because i’ve just witnessed Squidge complement Ireland
This is him complementing us? A 17min video almost entirely about England and Jones "building" for their next phase and still secretly being the greatest rugby team in the world... while Ireland are mentioned only as a bunch of repetitive shitmongers who, every so often, manage to make rugby games so goddam awful that the opposition can't handle it and give up? And as for calling Earls a snail... 🤦♂️
Squidge can you do a lions team prediction video please
Good analysis but I see at 10:56 that his Welsh bias and refusal to recognise the importance of a red card against them hasn't changed over the last few weeks.
Ireland were still shocking against wales and had no ideas in attack so they still easily could have lost with 15
Here I was, waiting for the Ireland Scotland review, the weirdest game of the 6 nations. The ref jumped in a ruck, a bouncy ball try and a 14 point swing that just didnt quite work out. "Why?" I thought, why would Squidge not make a vid on this game? Gotta be that bleedin Irish Bias again!!! Bloody Brits!!
Sorry to hear about your laptop, fucking sucks but I'm glad it all worked out in the end for you. Top tier, RWC 2015 All Blacks level videos every time, yer a wee squidgy legend ye are
That scene with Sexton after the credits is actually really cute
If you ever see him in podcasts, where he knows the hosts you get to see the real sexton hes a lot more likable, just extremely competive on the field so comes across bad
The fact you mentioned Jonah Lomu Rugby on the PS1 restores my hope in humanity.... If anyone can be successful in garnering some traction for that game to get a remaster.... Its you bro.

Yes thank you Squidge! The calls for Eddie Jones to go are far too early; it was only last year we reached a World Cup final.
2 years
@@DM-rp9ik Shoot has it been two years! But you know what I mean we were first in the last six nations too and the World Cup wasn't long ago
Be careful, you might be accused of actually liking Ireland going forward ;-) great video as usual
I doubt it. . . The only good thing he had to say about Ireland was they make other teams play bad. He thinks Earls is extremely slow, and he failed to mention that Wales, the only team he reckons had a good game against Ireland, were playing against 14 men for most of the match.
His analysis is good, but I don't think anyone could accuse him of liking Ireland based on this video. The video was basically about England
@@conorodonovan3927 he does it all the time and tries to pretend he doesn't
'Ben Young and Keith Earls are easy to make fun of'? What's that comment about?
Keith is a sound bloke who keeps his head down. A great role model and Irelands all time top try scorer (for a winger).
This is a brilliant analysis, was fed up reading people's "Eddie out" comments
It's a great analysis again. The only concerning thing for me about England is thier lack of direction when teams work them out. The fact they are so reliant on those two 10s suggests Jones has only one way to play the game. They do have some genuinely great players so I wouldn't be worried if I were an England supporter.
The title I’ve been waiting for for so long
Bloody brilliant as always. Credit due to Ireland for disrupting England and NOT that England has suddenly, overnight become shite. As much as Eddie Jones pisses me off (being Welsh) I still don't get the sheer panic bollocks in the press and at HQ at present. Eddie should stay and lets get on with the Lions tour wherever its happening.
Love the Ireland videos purely to hear what nickname you’ve conjured for jingle sex flaps this time
Very good analysis, you have a keen eye for the game.
If it wasn't for our rugby team beating England and Rachel Blackmore I feel we would have experienced the most miserable of years 🇮🇪
Great analysis as always! Totally agree about Eddie Jones: any England fan calling for his sacking now either knows nothing about rugby or has amnesia. He'll build a new squad around some younger and some veteran players... Maybe we'll even see Sam Simmonds coming in as a super sub.
Thing is mate, there comes a time when players stop responding to the same tactics and coaching approach. There’s never harm in freshening up if the alternative is a good one. This is still a relatively young squad but with a lot of experience so to suggest the solution is to bring in new blood, whilst ignoring what’s clearly been a decline over 18 months, is easy to say but isn’t necessarily the smart thing to do.
Why has there been a decline over 18 months ?
By ignoring the coaching staff, except Paul O'Connell.
PS The selectors also eventually saw the light and dumped Lowe the spoofer.
PPS if May's a Ferrari, Earls is a Bugatti Veyron.
Oh and PPPS Andy Farrell should still be sacked, see my first sentence.
Great analyses, really enjoyed the breakdown!! Thank you C.J for your outstanding service to the game and Ireland!
Love to see this kind of video. It honest not saying the usual England lost because they didn't play well rather than the team that beat them played well 👏👍
Give the guys in green some credit Squidge! I’m a big fan of your content and I use a lot of your insight to pick in form players for fantasy rugby (it would be cool to see you playing or creating a section about it) which I proudly ended 146th (my teams’ name also comes from a good old joke from your playbook on Camille Chat). But it truly takes out a lot of the pleasure every time you analyse Ireland games. Instead of praising the likes of Henshaw, Beirne and Furlong, which were undoubtedly amongst the best players of the tournament, you seriously focused more on a two phased “trap” for Johnny May (which imo is a ruck entirely composed of backs in which a centre, that could easily play as a forward, is contesting). The way England gave away penalties was completely overlooked and you spent most of the video mocking Curry and talking about the Ford-Farrell couple and Eddie Jones not deserving to be sacked after losing to all the home nations. I know as a Welshman it might hurt to admit that you didn’t deserve to win a 15v14 game, but Wales clearly didn’t play well. We get it, it’s funnier to mock players based on performance but do understand why we say you’re biased because you’re missing out on a lot of content! And yes Jabbly Sexwash was in a hell of a shape this six nations, it comes as no coincidence that when he was missing we lost to France by such a small margin, give him some credit too 😉
Truly amazes me how many different names Squidge has for Jingle Sexpod
You had better be busting a gut on the Fra-Sco highlights. ;-) Munch and Oomph in one breath, go figure! You have nailed Tom Curry, had a colleague with eyes that close together, would have never tired of slapping it.
9:50... ' he fails to communicate what he's doing to Ford... on account of not being real'!!

Boy have I been looking forward to this one 😌

Thank you Squidge, we love you Squidge
Brilliant breakdown as usual well done. Thank you for the dedication. Couldn't disagree more about Eddie Jones though. What new players has he tried out this time ? Perfect time to blood younger players but didn't.
Any chance of a video on why Munster keep falling short against Leinster?
Outstanding analysis as always mate. Thanks
Great video. Worth considering the comments from Conan about the earls try. They weren’t targeting Ford. They had picked out Curry defended at the front of the lineout v wales, with England running a double blocker in the lineout pods. So this meant Ireland should of had free ball for Conan. But he changed his position for this game. Lead to him competing but the move still worked as the back pod can’t turn fast enough.
Me just waiting here for Scotland vs France
Hey Squidge love the content. Do you think you could have a look at Worcester and suggest how we can start winning
please make a video on the lion's squad and then your starting 23
Squidge he is just saying his laptop died because he didn’t want to watch Ireland play because he hates Ireland
I'm surprised he put this one up but maybe because it has his favourite team (England). See how much he compliments them calling them the best team in the world 😂

"Living tribute to The Scream" ! Classic Squidge :-)
As a saffa I feel France won the tournament - Wales won mostly on luck.. their first 2 games were laughable 😂. Always loved Irish rugby, and they played amazingly this tournament. Sad thing about Wales is unless you’re welsh everyone forgets about them. They have a brief decent spell then fall back to that average team that just focuses on trying to beat England. At least the other teams in the nations have heart and not rely on luck
Like we were lucky in 2019 right
10:07 ooh that’s harsh on Curry. LCD shouldn’t be going hitting a ruck on his 5m line, leaving the huge gap for Conan to run through
Politely disagree. When you can see a gap live, on the tv coverage, the bloke available to fill it should do so. Yes LCD also screwed, but we are all taught from the first day of playing that you number up from the inside. Currie has to step in there, even if it means there is a gap outside.
@@qjnmh the D line was set off LCD though. He walks in to a lost ruck almost behind it leaving a huge gap to fill that of Curry does fill then there’s a huge gap between him and Wilson. LCD walking in would’ve disrupted the whole line and left gaps in the middle or out wide
@@osalim1998 sure LCD effed up. Totally agree. And put his teammate in a bind. But always always always you close the gap on the inside and risk the gap on the outside. Force the opponent to pass round you rather than walk through you.
So yes, LCD gets lots of blame. But for a very capable player, and one on whom we all hope rests a future English backrow, Currie's (non)reaction was a massive rookie mistake
@@osalim1998 HAHAHAHA Conan literally watches Curry and makes his move when he looks outside to see what the Irish defense is doing, even though he can't possibly get to the outside from where he is. He can however take a step inside and defend the ruck. Curry has plenty of time to identify the gap at the ruck and close it. As qinmh says LCD certainly messes up but a man with Curry's apparent ability should still be able to make that tackle. Couldn't have put it better....especially as a forward you defend the inside and risk the outside.
Farrells coaching reminds me of Gatlands later years with Wales. The games more about disrupting the opposition's game then anything else
I LOVE IT when Squidge just says WWRRRRrrUGBY
Earl had run up to the scrum half position when the ball left the 15 yard line, that's offside. Fekitoua did the same thing for a glorious' french try except he caught the ball! Not illegal if the refs don't want to penalise it.
You can see the passion and joy at 14:12.
'To a bag of shit' had me laughing hard. Urggh the challenges of being an England fan these days.
How this man is not commentating for any of the big channel's is criminal
