The Football News Thread 2017/18 - everything not Wolves

As long ago as 2010, the Green Brigade unfurled two banners with the words "Your deeds would shame all the devils in Hell. Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan. No bloodstained poppy on our Hoops." This protest was against the placing of the remembrance poppy on Celtic's shirt for 11 November 2010 match against St Mirren.
Frank Munro, a Wolves legend.

That bit Frank

That bloody bit.
 
What do you think about the lovely Rangers fans? Presumably sectarian behaviour is a little less distasteful when wrapped in that lovely Union Jack?

In many ways the Rangers fans are worse than Celtic. And I condemn sectarianism on both sides.
 
Good to hear that. Sectarianism is a blight.

You can have differing views on the Irish question (for instance I know you and I appear to be diametrically opposed on Irish republicanism) but the Sectarian stuff is just downright unpleasant and antagonistic on both sides.

Like much of the Irish questions though, there is just never a simple answer.

Middlesbrough academy player Anthony Renton has been diagnosed with leukaemia.

The 18-year-old defender, who signed his first professional deal at the Riverside in April 2017, has been admitted to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle for treatment.
 
Think the Chairman of Bray Wanderers is having a breakdown

Bray Wanderers FC can now officially confirm the club is financially stable for the foreseeable future and have a vision for the future unrivaled by any other Football Club in Ireland.
Wicklow County has unfortunately now attained the accolade of being the North Korea of Ireland for business.
But like all suppressed people, they eventually revolt, a revolution of Football is going to start and Bray Wanderers will be the leaders not just for Wicklow but for Ireland in this revolt.
Ireland produced great world beating players, from Roy Keane, John Giles, Liam Brady, Robbie Keane to Ray Houghton and many many more.
The problem and question is why cannot Ireland produce such great talent anymore.
We at Bray Wanderers are going to answer the questions and solve this problem.
We are going to give Wicklow and Ireland something to be proud of where there will be an academy to rival the best in the world. Our vision and ,rest assured ,we will execute the delivery of our vision is a world class football academy to rival the best in the world.
To achieve this, yes, we are going to and are in preliminary negotiations to buy a new Ground, and will be seeking from Wicklow County Council the rezoning of the land in The Carlisle grounds with the development proceeds used to fund the construction of what will be the best Academy and sporting Grounds in the country.
To keep the club on a sound financial Footing and independently fund this academy and club forevermore, we do have a plan on how to do that.
This will be at no cost to the Exchequer or County Council. But when you operate in North Korea, these options are difficult to achieve, but we will achieve it.
Eventually when we have succeeded in our vision creating the best centre of Excellence in Ireland, based on Academies such as Barcelona Manchester United and other in that caliber, creating the best production line of players in Ireland, we will hand the facility and sustainable business over to a trust who will protect the club and the development of Football in Wicklow & Ireland long after our collective lifetimes.
There will be may naysayers to this and to them, we say,
Ideally we’d bring in Conor McGregor for a quote but our response is,
“One great enemy we must all endeavor to fear not conquering is fear. Fear can cripple purpose and purposeful life. Fear asks question we must fear. Fear makes vision a nightmare. One must always cross the barrier of fear to get to the great city of true purposefulness. A great number of us who are unable to live to accomplish the true reason for our existence on earth are unable to cross the barrier of fear in the first place.”
Those afraid and living Fear, rest assured fear has no place in Bray Wanderers.
Gerry Mulvey
Chairman
 
Ireland produced Glasgow born Ray Houghton did they? :icon_lol:
 
I'm disappointed there is no 'foot like a traction engine'
 
I'd have preferred a "You use leaves to make a dress for your wife who’s also your brother" option
 
Gary Megson appointed assistant manager at WBA, what a partnership.
 
Going down the total football route I see

But Albuon have always played good attacking football According to their fans, just choose to eliminate the Megson, Talbot, Buckley and Birkinshaw era's.

Add Gould to your list.
 
They won't go down. They're already appalling to watch so there isn't too far to fall in that respect.
 
I agree they won't go down and their summer activity so far seems to say that the style they'll employ will be effective to put it kindly.
