European Football July (12,13,14 presumably)

[Giggles]

Because I couldn't see one.

Celtic :D

[Magic]

:harold:

[Magic]

Oh I thought it was because they were playing so early on to the season.

Fucking LOL. Rodgers. :harold:

[Byron]

Oh God. Fucking lol at Celtic. A group of British Unionists donning the Fenian fucks.

Where's Spokesman?

[Byron]

Oh man, Rodgers is there as well :D

Even better.

[niko_cee]

I was wondering where on earth the Lincoln Red Imps could have come from and guessed it would be some weird Northern Irish team. Can't argue though, those Gibraltarians have great character.

[Byron]

@BBCAndyBurke not watching it as taking the bins out but it's ridiculous a club of Celtics size has to play these qualifiers

:D

[Magic]

Gibraltar is trending on Twitter. :drool:

[Magic]

The guy that scored is a local copper. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The pitch is amazing.

[Giggles]

Great character shown.

[Lee]

What? :D

This is brilliant.

[Waffdon]

ahhahhahahahhahaha

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Small time club who won't win anything with this mentality.

They celebrated like they had just won the whole thing. Iceland all over.

[Kikó]

Great stuff Brenton.

[Yevrah]

Celtic lost to a team with 'Imps' in their name? roflcopter.

[Yevrah]

Great stuff Brenton.

I thought he was slightly hard done by at Liverpool (although I get the Klopp thing), but thank fuck he took this job before the England gig became available.

[Raoul Duke]

Lincoln Red Imps 1-0 Glasgow Green Gimps

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

40/1 to win the match according to BT. Jesus.

That pre-game article is just SO fucking good. :D

[Adamski]

They are ranked 451st in Europe. It only goes up to 454 :D

[Gray Fox]

You let the local team have their night, we press on, another week’s training and be better for it. There’s no embarrassment.

:D

Never change Brendan.

[Magic]

Shut the front door did he say that. :D

[bruhnaldo]

"let the local team have their night"

meanwhile


Will we treat them the same as if we were playing Barcelona or Real Madrid?

Yeah - that’s what I said to the team when we went through the video analysis. We will give them full respect and the same preparation whether it’s a team from Gibraltar of anyone else.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the Champions League or a big game in Scotland.

We will always respect our opponent.

[Magic]

Waiting on the 'small time mentality' quote. :drool:

[Shindig]

The state of your ambition, Brendan.

"Well, they've been champions for 14 years running now which we just can't match."

July 12th as well. They'll be spewing.

[Magic]

Look at all these totally insignificant things that only true Fenian/orangemen could pick up on. :D

[Boydy]

Loyalist songs are so shit compared to republican ones.

[GS]

It's a great day for Protestant triumphalism.

[John]

[GS]

Loyalist songs are so shit compared to republican ones.

That's because you're a closet shinner.

[Boydy]

Nah, I think fenians are just better at music.

And I suppose songs about being the oppressor are never going to be particularly great.

[Lewis]

That pipe and flute shit is a horrendous noise, wouldn't matter what the fuckers were playing on them.

[Pleb]

Wait was this the second leg? :D

Never mind it's the first leg. Even worse :D

[Shindig]

Total Network Solutions got a healthy nowt against Temuri's old lot.

Dundalk :drool:

They've won on away goals. Odd clip to post though, and it doesn't work in the UK.

[Giggles]

I know they won on away goals, finished 2-2 tonight. Was just a video of the winner (2nd goal) and that tweet was the only one I seen it in.
Hopefully they can get a decent draw in the Europa qualifiers now after BATE beat them.

[Amigo]

How the fuck did FH lose to that shower. :face:

[Giggles]

How the fuck did FH lose to that shower. :face:

Because they're an Icelandic club side and therefore also shit. Toss up between two shit teams and you still get one winner.

[Amigo]

Because they're an Icelandic club side and therefore also shit. Toss up between two shit teams and you still get one winner.

FH are ranked as the 158th best club in Europe. Dundalk are 233rd.

The Icelandic Premier Division is the 35th best league in Europe. The Irish league is 46th.

I'm aware they're both dogshit but FH were definitely the favourites (especially after the first leg) and should have won if they weren't bottling retards.

Once you get as far down as either then it's all an indistinguishable mass of shite.

[Sam]

I know Scottish Football is about Conference standard but getting shafted at home by a team from Malta is some feat from Hearts :D.

[Shindig]

Rangers grinding their way to the Europa League final is going to feel like ancient history soon.

[Giggles]

Decent result again for Dundalk going down 1-0 at BATE Borisov but should really have got more from it.
Ordinarily they're set up better for away games than home ones, but seeing as they're not playing the second leg at home I'll hold out a little bit of hope.

If they made it through they own the game here for the next 5-10 years though.

[SincereTheRebel]

I thought dundalk would have pulled it off, but i agree. Good result for them.

[Giggles]

Shame for their supporters to have to try make it to Dublin for a midweek 7:45 kickoff though.
I hadn't heard it was moved til tonight, not sure why.

[Gray Fox]

Celtic are 1-0 down again. This time to Astana.

[Pen]

Not very surprising that as Astana didn't lose at home once during their last years European games and that includes three group stage games in the Champions league (although I think they drew all three of those). They knocked out my local team last year in Astana after a last second offside goal :(

[SincereTheRebel]

Nordviet giving away am early penalty with a soft handball in the box. Came off his elbow as it was tucked into his chest.

West ham 1-0 down inside 10 minutes

[Hux]

Michail Antonio is playing right back with the enthusiasm of Magic on an evening with the in-laws.

[Giggles]

Cork City will take that.

[Giggles]

Dundalk :cool:

Have to be the best club side from here for years.

[Lee]

Can they get Celtic next?

[Giggles]

Can they get Celtic next?

They can. I don't think there's any possible tie where they have a chance but this one at least gets them into the Europa group stages.

[-james-]

UEFA Craic League. :cool:

[Bernanke]

Rosenborg. :loser:

[Giggles]

Dundalk can't play at home if they get any further, couldn't even play at home tonight. If Cork win tomorrow they will have to move for the next round too.

[ItalAussie]

APOEL. :cab:

90+2, 90+7 and 90+8 minute goals to go through 4-2 on aggregate against Rosenborg.

It is very cool, but the first goal took them ahead on away goals. So at 1-0 down, Rosenborg would go through if they scored, and at 2-0 down, it'd go to extra time. So the second and third goals were really the product of Rosenborg throwing everyone up front and hoping to come good.

Three bookings in injury time. :D

[Angelsaint]

Rosenborg
:D


The level of refereeing is going down every year or is the TV being better at showing flaws.

[Weaver]

Dundalk :cool:. It's the stuff FM games are made of.

The BBC reckon that they'll be on the Champions side of the Playoff draw (so they'll avoid the big name teams) and even if they lose the tie, they'll go automatically into the Europa League group stage.

Guaranteed to make just under €6m after last night. They got €100k for winning the league last season.

[Giggles]

Those coefficients :drool:

Viktoria Plzen Cze 44.59
FC Salzburg Aut 42.52
Celtic Sco 40.46
APOEL Nicosia Cyp 35.93
Legia Warsaw Pol 28.00
Dinamo Zagreb Cro 25.78

FC København Den 24.72
Hapoel Beer-Sheva Isr 10.58
Dundalk Irl 5.78

[spokej]

Easy :cool:

[John]

There's no better way to win than a last minute goal. Bonus points if it's a bad tempered game.

[spokej]

Tbf when Roberts went off we had zero creativity and struggled. I didn't think we were going to win after they equalised.

[SvN]

Best thread for it I suppose.

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/695953/Celtic-Leigh-Griffiths-Luis-Suarez-Barcelona-Brendan-Rodgers-SPL-Astana-Champions-League


If he had a different name – a more Latino name – this guy would be talked about as being worth 15 million quid, for sure.

I'm starting to suspect this Korean adventure of Jimmy Floyd's is just a cover for his real role as Celtic manager.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He'd be worth £15m if he shaved off what he calls 'hair'.

[John]

I know someone who calls him Leighwandowski, and I just about cringe myself to death every time. It appeared from elsewhere on Facebook yesterday too, so it looks like that might become a thing.

Those headlines piss me off far more than is reasonable for that sort of thing. They belong on clickbaity 'Ranker' shit, where number six blew your mind and you need to learn this one weird trick for weight loss.

[Giggles]

Dundalk have booked the Aviva for the next round. If they draw Celtic it'll be 90-10 to the away team in the home leg.
Fuck, even in Dundalk town itself it'll be 80-20 Celtic.

[Bernanke]

Get fucked Pen. :jayjay:

[Pen]

I went and it was fucking awful :moop:

Everything seemed to go as planned in the first half apart form the goal of course, but the second half was just pathetic from HJK.

[SincereTheRebel]

Just the aberdeen fuck up :D

[Giggles]

Dundalk have somehow managed to shift 35,000 tickets so far for Legia.

They're going to get absolutely molested.

[Waffdon]

Aguero has missed two penalties in twenty minutes, the mong cunt.

[SincereTheRebel]

Man city are currently 1-0 inside 20 minutes with two missed penalties from aguero.

[Raoul Duke]

Steaua have gone full retard here, but Aguero is completely shitting the bed

[SincereTheRebel]

Also this thread is over a month old. Giggles needs to step his grind up.

[Raoul Duke]

I've oftentimes thought that of him

[CJay]

Lovely finish.

What does Nolito do that Jesus Navas didn't? Horrible one-footed and doesn't seem especially good on the ball.

[phonics]

Man City have a quota of one ridiculously handsome latino on the wing at all times. Strange one that but you have to make the pesetas.

[Raoul Duke]

Navas has the eyes of a rapist

[bruhnaldo]

You're mad he's handsome as fuck tbf :wub:

[Raoul Duke]

Aguero :thbup:

[John]

Whoever is running what appears to be the official Steaua Bucharest Twitter account has had a proper meltdown.

#PepIsBald is one of the great hashtags.

[CJay]

Dundalk on the brink of greatness. :drool: Hope I'm able to catch some of it tonight. 35000+ watching a League of Ireland side.

Would Legia be considered better than BATE? I mean BATE are regular group stage contenders, I can't recall seeing Legia in the group stages.

[John Arne]

Dinamo Bucharest trolled Steaua big time last night - managing to have the Steaua fans unfurl a tifo reading "Only Dinamo Bucharest" "D

http://www.101greatgoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Dinamo-Steaua.jpg

[phonics]

Missing two penalties and scoring a hat trick in the same game. The guy is definitively the best striker in the world. He makes Suarez look like Giroud.

Similar I would say, BATE possibly get better draws from legacy seedings which allows them to keep qualifying.

On paper Legia should be pissing it.

[SincereTheRebel]

Dundalk have got this. Easy work.

[Giggles]

They'll get horsed and there'll be 900 at their next home game.

Would have went for the craic had I been at home. Won't even catch it on the TV now as I presume it won't be televised in the UK.

[Mazuuurk]

Higuain, MATE. Well pricey.

[phonics]

When he does it in a real league instead of BOTTLING every game I've ever seen him play, I'll believe it.

[Bernanke]

I'm so fucking nervous ahead of Göteborgs game tomorrow. :( Playing in the EL would be so good for the club, especially financially.

If we win the first game I'm placing half my monthly salary on us not going through, should be decent odds on that.

[Amigo]

I've got tickets for all of our home games in World Cup qualifying. :drool:
