Live Match Discussion 2023/24

[Alan]

Alas, I couldn't make it. Suffice to say that we wouldn't have been so comfortable had I been in attendance! Just my kind of luck innit.

 

[Alan]

Thoroughly approve of the lanyard!

Before the Panthers happened, this part of the country was mostly Washington territory!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I don't think this is a good idea, you'll still get the very close call decisions and lines being drawn, God knows why anyone thinks otherwise, and it'll give a huge advantage to the attacker, although it may actually result in fewer goals as teams at least initially will surely defend deeper.

The revolution of the new offside rule, spearheaded by Arsene Wenger

Refereeing evolves, changes and attempts to adapt to what soccer demands. At least that's what IFAB, a body dependent on FIFA and responsible for everything involving refereeing, d

I’ve said it before but it’s absolutely idiotic.

Anyone advocating it can never have played the game or certainly not as a defender.

Your basically completely changing how you act as a defender and set pieces are going to be an absolute shambles.

Will completely change the game and anyone playing high defensive lines or offside traps is going to get found out.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Oh and good look a linesman telling if someone who looks 3 yards offside might not actually be offside as their feet are overlapping. Pretty much nothing will be given live as they don’t even give clear ones now.

England U21's impressive with their 3-0 demolition of Israel in the semis.

Looks a really good crop of players.

 

[WsWolf]

They've been overcome some shocking tactics from Carsley. Plenty of premier League regulars though so you'd imagine they'd be a cut above.

Should be a good final too, will be interesting to see what Spain do and how Gomes and Jones cooper with their midfield.

Ruiz looks a good striker.

We look odd with Garner at RB and no striker, the movement of ESR and MGW is superb.

 

[Del Woppio]

Wow, what a moment that is for those young lads

Strange old final.

Quality was fairly poor but enthralling nonetheless.

So pleased we've finally won something!

 

[Jinky]

Was watching the cricket so missed most of the final. Saw the goal, but flicked it over at the end to see MGW getting sent off.

Good stuff that they managed to hold on. Impressive to not concede a goal throughout too.

Yeah it was a shit game tbf, though it speaks of how far we've come in the last 10-15 years at youth levels I think. Time gone by a team like Spain would've passed rings round us

 

[Johnny75]

Even though he missed the pen is definitely take Ruiz (at Braga) and the Spain keeper (at Barça B).

Harwood-Bellis looks a cracking CB and ESR is still a cracking talent.

Modueke looks shite.

 

[Lupo]

After losing in the finals of the Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference and U20 International Italy finally triumphed last night beating Portugal 1-0 in the final of the U19 Championships

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've had to scratch that itch.

So it's FK Struga vs Valgiris in the first round, second leg of the Champions League qualification stage on TNT Sports 2*!



(They've rebadged it, you fool)

 

[Tredman]

In addition to Johnny's vomit reaction we need a 'meh' one too

 

[Alan]

If only there was a written language through which we could express our emotions.

I watched a bit of West Ham v Spurs as it was on free to air on channel 10. My brother was obviously very invested but it was typically uninspiring pre season stuff so I went in the other room and watched masterchef

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Anyone watching the Womens World Cup?

Cracking atmosphere in the Ireland v Australia game so far
