The Football News Thread 2020/21

Yep. Hindsight I know, but may have been better off just finishing off the 19-20 season!

 

[Kenny]

Kind of great news for the team here as they are uber shit and lost every game they played, 8 in the league plus a couple of Cup games. No relegation for them at least.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Shame for Basford as they were in great form, hope my season ticket rolls over into next season as well!

SFA announce a pause for 3 weeks on these Leagues - SPFL League One, SPFL League Two, Scottish Women’s Football Premier Leagues 1 & 2, Highland League, Lowland League, East, West & South of Scotland Leagues, Scottish Junior FA Leagues and the North Caledonian League.


Ministers in England getting close to taking action on our Leagues after numerous breaches by players and then the images from before the Marine game yesterday and it seems they didn't like the Chorley players celebrating and singing after their win v Derby

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Villa vs Spurs is off as expected - a rare piece of nimble thinking as Spurs will now play Fulham instead (allowing them to catch up on their existing backlog).

 

[Kenny]

Celtic without 13 players, Neil Lennon (not a bad thing) and assistant John Kennedy as they have to isolate.

They buggered off to Dubai for a few days and presumed they would get elite sports protection with regards to having to isolate but a player arrived back and tested positive. Unlucky.

Also have to play their game v Hibs tonight

Plus Eze should not have been at QPR on Saturday:

Sol Bamba has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Horrible news.

 

[leedswolf]

Awful news.

 

[Paul]

That is sad

Karren Brady obviously not cutting it any more now she's 51 and entering the GILF category.

 

[Paul]

I wonder what she sees in 70 year old Billionaire David Sullivan ?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

You get to buy clothes in kids' sizes for his birthday?

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Do all porn stars have squinting eyes, or just her and Melania?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Someone said to me a few months ago that Melania always looks like she's looking at the menu at the chippy, and now I can't unsee it.

 

[Kenny]

Villa request their game on Sunday v Everton is postponed.

 

[Tredman]

It’s a godawful mess.

 

[Kenny]

Going to be a proper insane push towards the end of the season to fit the games in at this rate.

The Prem League won't pull the plug unless the Government tell them to do so this time

 

[Tredman]

Looks like the Derby takeover is falling to pieces. Who’d have thought it.
