I've been writing about football for 20 years, and that England penalty was a travesty

England are through to the Euro 2024 final.

I’ll level with you, dear reader. I’m not usually the type to overreact and over-analyse referee decisions. 

Yes, they can be very annoying, but I’m of the view that one should grumble for a minute, then move on. We’ll all live longer if we do that. Don’t try and control the uncontrollables would be my managerial doctrine.
