    Because the ref is a ****house and has no place reffing a game like this.

    Scapegoat or no, McCarthy's contribution to this tournament has been pathetic.

    The only debate is whether to give it against Vermaelen or Alderweirald!

    McCarthy subbed off 2 minutes too late. Reckon he won't be starting Wednesday.

    Hazard the inspirational captain has been pretty poor so far.

    By contrast their second scorer Witzel has been outstanding

    Bring on Keane, best chance of a goal even though he pisses dust

    Keeper should have done better IMO. Got two hands on it.

    Defending this ref is idiotic. That one where long was sandwiched by 3 and the free was against him was scandalous.

    No arguments in here, boss. Game should have at least been stopped for a head injury. I don't like complaining about refs but. . .

    The ref has been poor and I feel he has cost us today. It should have been a penalty or at least stop the play for a head injury. he does neither and Belgium score. I feel for the boys out there.

    Need to make sure the goal difference doesn't get a hammering now if we are to have chance of coming third.

    Keeper was beat there lads, McCarthy fully deserves to be pulled. A shame considering we looked like we could have gotten back into the game. There's still hope!!

    We're just not good enough, not even coming close to competing tonight. Starting the game with the mentality of getting 10 men behind the ball was never going to end well

    I honestly believe there's nothing wrong with how we've set up. This isnt on the manager.

    He can't make Hendrick and Hoolahan play well.
    He can't make McCarthy not ball watch.
    He can't make Randolph be a top class keeper.

    Belgium are winning because they've better players.

    The ref is bad yes but we are awful. They would have comfortably beat us no matter what.
