Live Match Discussion 2017/18

[YoungWolf]

But the commentator said he's a good coach because of the number of teams he's managed...

Shouldnt thelwell be busy carrying Mendes' coat around for him?

 

[Lord Knows]

Brendan Rodgers has named his son Anton Rodgers on Celtic’s bench for their friendly vs. Blau-Weiß Linz.

 

[Tony Towner]

Nepotism, he's way too old.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Nepotism, he's way too old.

And the fact that Anton is no longer on this astral plane

 

[Lycan]

Rangers losing 2-1 on aggregate to some random team from Luxembourg. :icon_lol:

 

[PuntsWolf]

Are they even a pro team?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh Rangers :icon_lol:

This Caixinha guy is a proper spoofer.

 

[Lycan]

Heartbroken. :icon_lol:

Got to be one of the worst European results for a British team ever.

 

[Kenny]

That is an appalling result.

That's their budget gone for the season then

 

[Lycan]

Saint Pedro is doing an excellent job tbf. Use the entire budget to fill the squad with Catholics and then conspire to get the sack asap.

 

[Alan]

Someone's already updated Niederkon's wiki page. That's their first ever victory in European competition!

 

[Langers]

Amazing stat - the team that beat Rangers tonight have only scored 5 European goals since 1979.

2 of them were scored tonight.

 

[Kenny]

Linfield win their tie and will face Celtic in the next round.

TNS fly the flag for Wales as they progress to the 2nd quali round.

 

[lemonjelly]

Are they even a pro team?

Part timers.
lolololololol!

 

[Alan]

Florent Malouda (yes, THAT one) starting tonight for French Guiana in the Gold Cup.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He was ineligible so expect 3-0 to Honduras in the results column

"There will be three groups of four teams. In the group stage, each team will play each other once. The top two from each group, plus the two best third-placed teams, will progress to the quarter-finals, semi-final and final."

The rules of Star Sixes are designed to adhere as close to 11-a-side football as possible, for the enjoyment of both players and spectators alike:

"Six-a-side footballSquads of tenplayers with rolling substitutionsNo restrictions on player movementNo head-height ruleNo perimeter wall / barriersDrawn knockout games will go straight to penalties"
