Turning out.

Playing.

I assume “suiting up” must mean something different, though.

Not a phrase I've ever heard but if said to me I would expect it to be someone getting ready to go out for the evening wearing something a bit more stylish than T shirt, jeans and trainers.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's more relevant in American football, because if you are suiting up you are getting a gameday cheque which to those at the bottom of the roster makes a big difference. Other than being in the matchday squad there's not really a footballing equivalent phrase

Anyway I like Alan's quirky language, makes him seem exotic

Don't! He'll be 'y'alling' all over the place, before you know it

Nope as TT says there is no equivalent it just doesn't make any sense which is what makes me laugh.

 

[Jack Regan]

I always thought it's because American sports teams wear "uniforms" and the term relates to putting on a uniform or special clothes like an astronaut type thing.

First thing that came to mind, taking precautions for the job in hand

Ajax v Feyenoord was abandoned this evening after a player was hit by a missile.
Davy Klaassen was hit after scoring.

Edit: I think they went back out and finished the game.

Watching the women’s game and the lack of feigning injury, diving, cheating, whining, surrounding the ref etc. is an absolute joy

 

[ROVERT47]

The only women’s game I’ve ever watched was extra time in the Euros final.
I switched it on just as Jill Scott was calling her German counterpart a “fucking prick”

It’s obviously not the same as the men’s game but there’s a lot of joy to be found there.

 

[ROVERT47]

I don’t doubt there is, just not my cup of tea.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Big dent in Albions play off hopes. Shame

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nice little bottlejob going on at Sheff Wed. Went 20+ games unbeaten, then lost at Barnsley at the week and today handed Big Dunc his first win at Forest Green.

Ipswich in 3rd, three points behind and are on form of P6 W6 D0 L0 F16 A0.

Likely to be the case that 90 points isn't good enough for top two.

Dropped out of the top two now and Plymouth and Ipswich both have a game in hand over them.

They've gone DLLDDD. I thought Dave Jones left them years ago.

This Sunderland Hull game has been the best I've watched for ages.

 

[Tony Towner]

Ref has still managed to give 2 nothing penalties, 1 to each

The Sunderland one was similar to Traore last week but the Hull one was nailed on. Reckless challenge from the defender.

Agree on the Traore comparison, but the stop to get barged was more obvious. The Hull one might have been if the forward hadn't gone all Superman, I can't judge contact when you decide to do that

Counting down to the first pitch invasion of the season.
