Eurosport - Mon, 29 Jun 10:24:00 2009

UEFA have rejected England U21 goalkeeper Joe Hart's appeal to have his yellow card from the European Championship semi-final overturned.

FOOTBALL England U21 goalkeeper Joe Hart, who will miss the European Championship final against Germany after an appeal against a yellow card that earned him a suspension is rejected by UEFA - 0

Hart, who was booked at the end of the semi-final against Sweden for ungentlemanly conduct during the penalty shoot-out, will miss Monday's final in Malmo when Stuart Pearce's youngsters face Germany.

Pearce will choose between Scott Loach and Joe Lewis to deputise for Hart, who recently joined Birmingham on loan from Manchester City.

Loach started against Germany in the group stage when Pearce rested his first-choice players.

  2. John #13. Thanx Mate, you are spot on Bro'...the­ City/United thing is only Local rivalry banter which­ can easily be put on the backburner or quickly­ forgotten when it comes to Our National Football Team­ at all level's and rightly so, just like every­ other English loving football fan i absolutely adore­ Rooney, Ferdinand & Carrick etc.. which goes a long­ way into showing how fickle we can all be when we get­ behind our Country, every bread & butter week i­ wear the sacred Sky Blue of Man City with either­ Robinho's or Ireland's name etched across the­ back but on the caviar occasions i am equally just as­ proud to be wearing the sacred Red or White shirt of­ England with either Rooney's or Gerrard's name­ etched across the back.
    Real Madrid didn't sign­ the Best Player in the World when signing Ronaldo or­ KaKa, Man United still house the Best all round Player­ on the planet in Wayne Rooney and as much as it pains­ and hurts me to have to admit that fact, i just thank­ God that he is English and plays his heart out for our­ Country.

    Take care Mate.

  3. Re Comment 19 JJ. Don't show yourself up by­ talking about the English language when you clearly­ haven't quite mastered it yourself!

  4. Oh dear! Those nasty people against England again. It­ couldn't just be because Hart cheated by trying to­ psych the players off the game, could it? Naw, that­ would be too easy, eh?

  5. carl c - Hart was pulling faces to the Swedish players­ before they where taking thier penalties to put them­ off.

    mrbearphotograph - an outfield player would have­ to take the place of a goalkeeper, if there is no more­ subs leff, just like if the keeper got sent out during­ a normal game and all subs where used

  6. Ben Foster is the best keeper i have seen play, we had­ him on loan at watford, think he'l be number 1 in­ years to come, just hope he gets he's break this­ season so he's in with a shout for next years world­ cup.

  7. Please do not tar all us Scottish people with the same­ brush . The muppet who writes in so called­ "Scots" is a clown . I have never met anyone­ who speaks like that . He obviously went to one of­ those schools where teachings were influenced by nuns­ and priests and Irish doctrine and is now a Celtic­ supporter . His name gives him away . Stick to­ communicating with leprechauns and sex offenders ,­ better still head over to the Michael Jackson comments­ page where you can complain about how you were abused­ as a child .
    BIG JOCK KNEW .

  8. Can someone explain why Hart is boked for gamesmanship­ but the Swedish goalkeeper berated Milner when he lay­ on the ground after he missed and was seen mouthing off­ to our other penalty takers and he was not even spoken­ to, French ref !! There is the answer. Good luck­ tonight lads

    From carl c, on Mon 29 Jun 7:37AM
  9. If you watch the referee warning him about his­ gamemanship 2 penaltys before he should have stopped,­ he was over the top and the ref had no choice

  11. Why did the English go to sgitland? It definitely­ wasn't for the sunny weather

  12. james.mccannmccann, sort your life out! In case you­ had forgotton, English is the official language of Wee­ Bonny Scotland, not that tirade of spit and phlem you­ insist on typing! The English conquered you long ago,­ although what for i dont know, perhaps they like their­ girls with beards back then, or maybe to just cull a­ few of you!

  13. Has his Loan to Birmingham(?) gone through? Lad needs­ some first team action next season i think, same with­ Foster at Man Utd, Gotta bring through the young­ English Keepers now as James is getting on, Green seems­ to freeze in big games, Robinson seems to have seen his­ last action for England, Kirkland is too injury prone,­ and mistakes have ruined Carsons confidence at­ international level! I'm sure i hav forgotten some­ good English keepers and people will let me know lol!

  14. Hang on, what happens if a goalkeeper gets sent off­ during a penalty shootout, you can't make any subs­ during the shootout, does this mean an outfield player­ on the team that finished the game has to go in goal? I­ was just wondering there ha.

    From Michael, on Mon 29 Jun 1:27AM
  15. Don't see what the problem is here, he tried to put­ the player off by pulling faces during the penalty­ shoot-out, so yes he deserved the yellow card and­ he's only got himself to blame, and to say that­ Uefa are against English clubs or English teams is­ total @#$%, English refs would have done the same if in­ that position at club or international level.

    From chris.frankland, on Mon 29 Jun 12:49AM
  16. I Blame that French prat Platini, could not organise­ the preverbiable ******** in a brewery, can anyone tell­ me why the same ref was used as in a previous England­ game, same ref sent off Mancienne, what hope do we have­ with that french plonker in charge

  17. Tell Uefa to stick their final up their ARSE.

  18. Billy #12. I agree with every word you said. Well put.­ And I'm a Man U fan.
    You see, we can agree on some­ things.Good on yer.

  19. As a Man City Fan i am pretty gutted for Joe, but i­ didn't expect anything other from those gutless,­ death warmed up, cheating morons at UEFA lead by that­ googled eyed, frog faced, French bar-steward midget,­ Platini and his bum pals.
    Looks like the same old­ scenario were the Referee's have been given strict­ instructions by these above Twankers as to do anything­ and everything in their power to ensure that England­ don't win the tournament, if it had been any other­ player from any other Country except England, the red­ card would have been rescinded with no questions asked­ and no questions answered.

    "Come on England­ !!"
