The Football News Thread 2018/19 - everything not Wolves

[Paddingtonwolf]

The record I was involved in was Bath City away vs Altrincham back in the 80s. I think it was 1982 as Altrincham were due to play Spurs in the cup the next week and I think they were the holders.

The Bath City away support was me, my Dad, and a very nice member of GMP who stood next to us. We also had our own police horse escort outside the ground.

I guess there could have been other Bath City fans there but we never noticed any.

 

[Banjo]

Yeah they had one solitary block of the John Ireland lower.

Nah, there were a hundred+ when they gave that award to Cooper

Stan Collymore has annoyed some local journos, Timmy II included, with this Tweet

"Which is why you shouldn't follow any local press whoever you support. Most are fans, most don't want to be kicked out of the weekly press conference by being critical, some become pals with the gaffer, some look for jobs in the club itself. Self serving sycophants"

 

[Johnny75]

Stan's right.

 

[Langers]

Stan is right in some cases, but it's one hell of a sweeping generalisation which does him no favours.

Lower quality defenders though!

Speed isn't the only attribute he needs - though clearly is at that level

He's been on League Of Their Own a fee times either topless/naked. Yes he's huge!

VAR indeed works. This was given offside by VAR in the Minnesota game last night.

Hmmm. I guess if the GK was all the way up the pitch it'd be correct!

 

[Quirkafleeg]

I'm watching the incident 10 times and I'm struggling to find a reason VAR was used in the first place. Even the sky reporter said 'That's what it's there for

Somebody help me please.

 

[visage]

Indeed. The linesman is exactly in line with the last man, how can he not give it. But having used var, what were they seeing?

 

[James]

Maybe Americans dont understand the offside rule?

 

[Alan]

The offside was given for a pass prior to that one.

 

[Kenny]

Shit got serious at Stourbridge

:icon_lol:

(although if that makes it 1-1 then the Mrs shot first, so this is fair game)

Partially an attempt to kill off the old out of date thread and get us using this seasons correct thread...

87 live games on tv or legally streaming. Wow. That's almost 12.5 games per day.

Very interesting the research going on to effects on lower league clubs when midweek PL and/or champions league games are on.
