Barnes gets taken out on the break and it’s not given as a yellow. Tragic.

Linking an article in french thats also behind a paywall might be the worst post that this forums ever committed.
I've gotten past the paywall (thanks bypass) but my French is shit.
I want to like Faes because of his hair but he’s a huge liability.
Copy paste please?Originally Posted by Sir Andy Mahowry
Yeah, he’s properly tragic. I can’t see Leicester staying up. Their defence and keeper are just so bad

Cardiff City réclame 110 M€ au FC Nantes dans l'affaire Sala
INFO L'ÉQUIPE. Cardiff City a saisi le Tribunal de commerce de Nantes, le 12 mai, dans l'affaire Sala. Le club gallois réclame près de 110 M€ au FCN au titre d'indemnisation des « préjudices subis » après le décès accidentel de l'attaquant argentin.
Il l'avait annoncé et il l'a fait, sans ambages. Le club de Cardiff City, en litige depuis quatre ans avec le FC Nantes au sujet du transfert et du décès accidentel d'Emiliano Sala, a entamé ses poursuites au civil en France, après avoir été débouté de tous ses recours en Suisse. Selon nos informations, le club gallois a déposé vendredi dernier (via ses avocats français, Mes Olivier Loizon et Laure-Anne Montigny, du cabinet parisien Viguié Schmidt & associés) une assignation auprès du Tribunal de commerce de Nantes, visant à condamner principalement « la société FC Nantes à verser la somme, à parfaire, de 100 millions d'euros avec intérêts au taux légal, à compter du jugement, au titre des pertes de revenus subies » par Cardiff, après la disparition prématurée de l'attaquant argentin, qui n'a jamais pu évoluer sous le maillot des Bluebirds. L'assignation à comparaître est fixée au 22 juin prochain.
My phone offered to translate the article for me. Also didn't get a paywall.
Basically Cardiff want €110m off Nantes for reasons either my French ability can’t deduce or are incredibly spurious.
That's a mental decision, even if it's 'right'.
Even without knowledge of French, that headline says it all. Cardiff reclaiming 110m Euros from the Sala purchase is incredibly cunty. He was a £15m deal.
Yeah that's what I got.
I did hear that they wanted payment for "damages" but lol at 110m Euros being the number.
Oooh, could be a collapse on.
You’ve got to fancy Dyche to steal a result somewhere, so this Leicester team are gone I feel. Horrendous.
Fuck sake.
Letting someone like Curtis Jones score twice again you sums this Leicester defence up. Bloody hell
Where the fuck has this Curtis Jones been hiding?
Leicester heads look to have gone already.
You can why Carsley has been playing him as a nine.
Lol so reading it, Cardiff are asking for the transfer fee, every penny they would have paid for his 5 year contract AND the money they would have received for his inevitable transfer to a top 6 club when he succeeded because it's impossible to prove that he wouldn't have achieved that. Using the fact that the transfer fee and his contract had extra payment stipulations built in if he had been the second coming of Kevin Phillips 30 goal season as proof that all sides believed that these goals were certainties.
It's funny how often it happens in Football where a teams biggest strength suddenly becomes their biggest weakness. The year they won the league was powered by Kante and Mahrez and Vardy but at it's core was Morgan and Huth heading/clearing away anything that came near the box. Nowadays their set-piece defence is so poor I believe it's set league records and they can't defend crosses from wide areas.
Luis Diaz playing like the favela cunt he is. Get Jota on and let's chase down Newcastle's GD.
What a hit that was.
Can we please talk about Trent some more?
Van Dijk just fucking BONKING him on the head.
I’m sure we will do when Wan Bissaka is in the next England squad ahead of him.
No self respecting Liverpool fan gives a fuck about England.
I was more making the point that Sir Gareth would rather pick anyone than get him in the team.
Tried to find some old post I remember where I said Bodgers was shit and someone (turned out to be Kiko) said he wasn't but the quote didn't work right and I can't be fucked using the shitty search function again so just take this as me informing you of the
Top four is well and truly on. I can see Fulham causing United problems, likewise Brighton at Newcastle.
Both play Chelsea though so you’re kind of fucked
Neither are dropping points in two games, but it is good to see us playing properly to end the season. At least with 5th we'd avoid some qualifying shitfest.
Surely this is only actual Liverpudlians? Not even being from there but having a massive chip on your shoulder purely through the football team would be proper nonce behaviour.
Ironically the actual Liverpudlians I know think the city is a shithole and moved away as soon as they could, it's the adoptive ones who give it 'the best place in the world!' Schtick.
I don't get how it's Nantes's fault that he got on a dodgy plane. Either way, it must be one of the most undignified sagas in a very undignified sport.
He's not shit though is he*? He definitely has a shelf life and limitations (like transfers) but he can do a decent job for a period.Tried to find some old post I remember where I said Bodgers was shit and someone (turned out to be Kiko) said he wasn't but the quote didn't work right and I can't be fucked using the shitty search function again so just take this as me informing you of the
*From fans of Steve Bruce: 1000 game manager
He came 2nd in the FA Carling Premiership and won the Scottish League, I reckon he's good at football managing.
Not sure how Dean Smith continuing to take Leicester down and making them look even worse in the process is necessarily a poor reflection on Bodgers.
They've just underinvested in the playing squad/been unlucky that some of their transfers have been whack, loads of their players have got injured, some star performers have seemingly gone to shit [what has happened to Ndidi?]. Strikes me that the new owners aren't really committed to it like the old man was.
He's ok. He came second in the league but he also had the best player I have ever seen play for the club in his team. He then got a bit big for his own boots and went to shit, Celtic you can't argue with what he did and if he had taken the hit in the pocket last year and walked away from Leicester you would have said he had done an excellent job.
But, I would say that this season there were a lot of the excuses from his last 12 months at Liverpool it was always someone else's fault other than his own. Completely forgetting that a lot of the signings have been his own even if they haven't spent as much money as they had done in the past.
I mean the man deserves a knighthood, but preferring Benteke over Firmino is close to unforgiveable.
I'm a twit
I know but on this basis the only good football managers are Pep and Klopp. In fact hundreds can do the job well, many very well.
If I took charge of Celtic I reckon they'd get relegated.
Suarez took Liverpool to second and I could win the Scottish league with Celtic. Or at least the years he was there and won it - Rangers weren't even second those years.
I think most level headed Celtic fans will tell you that Rodgers was the best coach in recent years (until Ange) - though that says more about the quality of the managers before him than anything - and an absolute whopper of a bloke.
Welcome to the Steve Bruce Managerial Defence Brigade.
Rodgers is good for the first 18-24 months when most players seem to buy his bullshit but it wears off quicker than most.
Worse is when the board buy the bullshit and allow him to back the back room and recruitment team with his own useless mates and also give him a massive new contract on top.
Worse still is when you don’t recognise that he’s alienated half the squad, any existing staff members, fans and keep him in position whilst performances and results nosedive and his answer is to take no personal responsibility whatsoever and simply say that the squad is rubbish or it’s too hot.
I think he is a good manager. But, he does have some fairly obvious flaws. Set pieces is a recurring one as well. We had problems with them and so did Leicester. I think he very much has a shelf-life he will give you a good 2-2.5 years but then it does seem to start going backwards and he can't seem to reverse it. But, your team will play good football during that period and there will be improvement he's nothing like Steve Bruce.
I miss Steve Bruce. Nowadays all the managers in the Championship are identikit slim cokeheads with crew cuts, beards and quarterzips, getting sacked, going on 10 game winning runs and getting linked with Rangers, it's all too highly charged. In Bruce's heyday you knew where you were. Two similar sides would play adequate football. The game would finish 1-1, or sometimes 2-1 or 0-3. You'd get a pint on the way home. Great days.
Holy shit. SEA Games final... Looks like the ref blows the full time whistle, Indonesia staff run into the pitch to celebrate, ref says get off, a few seconds left.
Thailand immediately score in the 98th minute to equalise.
Mental.
Could kick off big time.

Edit: how do you embed the video?
Indonesia score in the first minute of extra time and both benches go at it.
Proper fighting
Three red cards, and we still have 20 minutes left.
