We're already in the second half of the calendar year (sob) which means that qualifying and things for next season is already under way as well as the various international things across gender and age groups going on because THE FOOTBALL MUST NEVER STOP.
I have quite enjoyed the Women's World Cup now the group stage mismatches are done and dusted and was quite disappointed yesterday to realise a) that there wasn't any on and b) that I'm going to miss the England / USA game.
We sacked Garry Monk a few weeks back. The only guy who has evenly looked remotely competant in the 2.5 years since they sacked the last competant guy in Gary Rowett. We are a shambles, our board are a bunch of clueless arseholes and we are still under a transfer embargo. Another fight against relegation beckons. Fuck.
It always messes about with our season as clubs come over for friendlies. Shels are playing Hearts tonight I think and Chelsea (reserves) are playing Pats in 2 weeks which messes up a session for me, though that's another story.
European stuff is rolling about too which is good though, as we're still small time enough that you want all the clubs to do well.
I'm surprised more wasn't made of Monk. Having an agent sign off all transfers or whatever it was seemed iffy as fuck.
Rashford signing another United contract the madman.
Post some of the postman vs driving instructor early qualifying round fixtures.
Trust me. It could be worse. :moop:Quote:

In what? The Pre-Season League?
The following teams made it through the qualification rounds for the Europa league last night
Progrès Niederkorn (Luxembourg)
Engordany (Andorran )
Europa (Gibraltar )
Ballymena United (N.Ireland)
St Joseph's (Gibraltar)
KÍ Klaksvík (Faroe Islands)
Cliftonville (N.Ireland)
Wolves victims in the second qualification round will be Crusaders (N.Ireland) or B36 Tórshavn (Faroe Islands) who play two legs on the 11th and 18th July
Be great for Cork to get a trip to Edinburgh.
Cardiff University went out late on away goals. :( That's a shame.
Wolves victims in round two play tomorow in the first league
Crusaders (N.Ireland) vsB36 Tórshavn (Faroe Islands). I will try and find some type of stream for this event.
Someone stole Daniel Sturridge’s dog and he’s on Instagram saying he’ll pay anything/a sizeable reward will be organised to get it back.
He didnt have a tracker?
Most people don’t have trackers on their pets.
The usual microchips hold information about the owners but don’t have GPS, presumably due to battery requirements.
He legit looked broken. Poor guy. Possessions can be replaced so give a shit about the house but the dog, probably shit scared wherever it is. :(
He's got it back! Seems a bit dodgy how the person that returned it supposedly had nothing to do with the robbery, but at least he's got the dog back. Losing a dog is the second worst thing that could get stolen after a small child.
Just copped that Dundalk and Riga is on the telly. Nice one.
This Dundalk squad is about the strongest that there's been from here in over a decade but the Latvians are apparently heavily backed financially and would be strong favourites.

Oh, it's on. The NUFC Supporters Trust has put the message out to boycott all home games next season. We have to fucking do this right.
The prospect of Steve Bruce would have to be a final straw.Quote:

There's just no point until Ashley goes. It'd be interesting to start a new club and see who got a trophy first. I'd back the new club, although I'd be long dead before it was decided.
I've just looked up Mike Ashley on Wikipedia and he looks like half the people on this forum. For some reason I thought he was some octogenarian crank but you couldn't find a better microcosm of Great Britain in any face
He used to be a thin Squash coach. As for a new club? Pour it in to Gateshead.
Bohemians brought on a 14 year old in the Chelsea game tonight.
Cherno.
Good job Akinade isn't playing for them any more.
I forgot Kenedy was a Chelsea player.

There have been multiple years with tournaments running in the summer yet this year feels especially egregious. There's been larger gaps with no football during the season than this summer it feels like.
Crusaders are up 2-0 in the first leg. Second leg on the 18th. I would prefer a trip to the Faroe Islands so hopefully B36 can turn it around.
And watched us score a goal for each European Cup. :lol:Quote:

"We are all sitting there, 'Holy God'."
Roy went on 'one week I look at you and you're controlling the game, the next week I can't find you on the pitch, but it's OK because I don't blame you. I blame your parents for the way they brought you up.'
It depends how the lad takes it but everyone is different. The last lad he went, 'do you want to be a footballer, or do you want to collect piss for a living like that fella?' And all you see is the drug tester in the corner and the poor fella didn't know what was going on.
It's an absolute tragedy that he never turned out to be a top, top manager (and is ill-suited to binman success).
Complete piece of shit
Some of our kids looked really good in the Perth game. Gomes and Greenwood especially. Gomes is so talented, it'll be a real shame if his size (he's properly tiny) proves too much of a stumbling block.
Honestly, I think if he'd managed the right bunch of players he'd be successful.Quote:

The PRESS looked much improved on the highlights I saw, but I think the opposition might have just been terrible.Quote:

You would obviously expect United to win, but their style made them look shitter than they probably are.
I think Roy Keane as Newcastle manager is the only thing at this point that would get me back interested in the club.
Not to shit on Man Utd's great win, but Perth rested like 5 or 6 first teamers, too. Still, a win is a win.
The court of arbitration for sport has deemed the African Champions League final 2nd leg is to be replayed.
For info, Wydad Casablanca were playing Esperance and after a 1-1 in the first leg, were 1-0 down in the second leg. They then scored a goal which was disallowed by officials on the pitch. The Wydad players went mad and demand the ref check with VAR. This is when the referee let them know he couldn't as it wasn't working. Wydads players left the pitch in protest and refused to return. Referee abandoned the game declaring Esperance winners.
Following the decision by CAS, Esperance has filed an appeal to quash the decision and be declared winner, whilst Wydad have appealed and demanded to be named winner outright themselves and receive the prize money and medals.
If you ever want to watch the biggest shitfest football has to offer, watch a vaguely important club game between two North African sides. Each team generally has a hired West African striker who runs around fruitlessly up top, and the rest of the game is just 10 greased up losers (and maybe a token bald defender) rolling around on the deck and waving imaginary cards.
Chuck VAR into the mix and a black ref (they are all hugely racist on the Med) and it's a perfect firestorm. From what I've read, Wydad are fully in the wrong and should be thrown out.
Dundalk have completely shat this up.
Watched the United game on my lunch break today :D

Sincere takes the win.

Islands aren't countries, and you travel to countries. Will he need to pass through Irish immigration to get to where he's going? He will not.
Like I said, no arguing..
Though I do hope he runs about calling Crusaders fans Irish.
Anyway, on actual Irish clubs, that was a serious result last night for Shamrock Rovers. Just watched back a bit of it this morning, Jack Byrne won't be long for this league.

Googs dropping his facade of indifference when Ireland is involved, as per usual
Ireland needs a new name, along the lines of the dismissive things we used to call it, to reflect its provincial status within the European Union. Hibernia would be a good one, but I'm open to suggestions.
They seem to dislike Southern Ireland, so just go with that.
I thought it was Éire anyway, Côte d'Ivoire style.

Friendly or not, it's pretty damning when Klopp prefers to give Andy Lonergan a start when Ming is on the bench.
I read he was the only other GK available though. Better to give him a shot than not when you already know what you have in Mignolet right? Seriously asking.
Given that Mingolet has played pretty much every other game (and played well) I'm guessing starting Lonergan is a bit of a 'thank you' to him for helping out pre-season.Quote:

Wolves possible third-round opponents for the Europa League qualifying. Makes no difference, it is all easy work.
Draw takes place in an hour.
Wolves or Crusaders possible opponents:
AEK Larnaca FC (CYP) / PFC Levski Sofia (BUL)
FC Pyunik (ARM) / FK Jablonec (CZE)
FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda (SVK) / Atromitos FC (GRE)
Rangers FC (SCO) / FC Progrès Niederkorn (LUX)
FC Mariupol (UKR)
Wolves against Rangers would be all kinds of lol.
Pyunik (ARM) / Jablonec (CZE) vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (ENG) / Crusaders (NIR)
Easy :baz:

From what I understand that's not meant to be their permanent location after a couple years when they move to actual Miami and not Fort Lauderdale. The location in the video is meant to be their training ground as well as hold other events considering it's a historical location in South Florida re: American football.
ALTHOUGH I don't necessarily buy all that considering the push back they've had on their site choices in actual Miami....
At any rate, this is what the actual stadium is supposed to look like:

Again, i don't necessarily believe that'll take place..... but it'd be pretty disappointing if it didn't.
The Fort Lauderdale renovation is supposed to cost $60million... whereas Miami Freedom Park (the stadium I posted)... is meant to cost over $1billion lol
We'll see.
Yeah I think they'll be stuck there for a few years, just like how New York City FC's still playing in Yankee Stadium five years on.
Is D-Beck still the chairman?
The actual stadium looks like a fanny.

@Baz and yea Becks still with the ownership team
This U19 semi is going to end up such a hammering that it probably would have been better to pluckily go out in the groups on goal difference or something. Looks like a first team playing the under 16's.
That young Ramos lad looks a very good prospect.
For such a highly ranked team, Qarabag were horrendous tonight.
We played carrier bag a year or two ago and they were a complete pub team in both legs. No idea how they got as far as the CL group stage, possibly bribery.
There's a difference between them playing a multi million pound behemoth and an actual pub team though. Dundalk didn't even play that well.Quote:

That might be the best thing he's done in his entire Arsenal career.
Kolasinac really is a big brute.
Wolves still haven't got a clue how to break down a side that sits in against them. Malmo put 11 past Ballymena over 2 legs so Wolves should really be aiming for similar here, but it's looking like a 1-0 at home to that Irish team here.
Surely he can ditch 3 at the back in a game where the opposition doesn't cross the half way line? Basically a man down the whole game.
Wolves were wasteful. They cant break down defences at all. They had sl many half chances. Im sure top Ireland would have taken 1-0 back to their home but a moment of madness in the last minute gifted wolves a 2-0 lead.
Adama has zero end product. Zero.
Rovers sat back far too much against 10 men when they went 2-1 up tonight. Far too small a lead to bring to Cyprus.

I can see why you'd be wound up thinking people aren't taking you seriously when you've got a good job at your boyhood club.
Oi @Giggles. Where are the players to go in top ireland near Crusaders FC?
Bless. I probably wouldn't answer such stupidity even if you had formed a coherent sentence.Quote:

If you 'support' a player rather than a team, you should lose both eyes and let's say an arm for good measure.
I thought we were playing Hibs today. Turns out it was last night. 3-1. Linton, Longstaff and Lascalles. St. Etienne visit on Saturday.
That's pretty much all young people do these days. Most of the little fuckwits 'support' Messi and would no matter where he rocked up.Quote:

You're supporting the team in what is a team game. Who fills the shirt is ultimately not at all important. We only want players in/out of our teams to enhance its chances of winning.
It's not like supporting a big team these days doesn't involve some mental gymnastics.
Supporting a 'player' is obviously sillier but I imagine it's mostly young people, and surely if you replace the key word with "idolize" it's hardly a new thing.
And there’s not a thing wrong with thatQuote:

This is adults I'm talking about, although in South Korea most of the adults are just kids but hung over.
There is. But then again.....Quote:

'Supporting' a player in the sense that instead of following a single club you just follow their club at all times is indeed dumb. Liking a player and taking a sympathetic interest in wherever they go to play is pretty normal behavior.
I "supported" the heck out of Cuauhtemoc Blanco, because he was an absolute boss. I mean, my team has always been America, but when he went to play for Veracruz (or Necaxa, or Dorados, or Puebla or...) I started watching their matches, because he was good to watch. When America played Veracruz (or Necaxa, or...) though, I would definitely support America.
On the subject of supporting players, I just remembered this exists.
What the...
I was curious what he's up to these days - he's a governor? :cool:Quote:
