The Football News Thread 2020/21

[Tony Towner]

No

 

[Kenny]

Sunderland, Lincoln, Oxford and Tranmere are in the Semi Finals

A very short rain/rein/reign for the winners on the 13th...

 

[Derby Wolf]

Vindication for Nuno, not just him who thinks Lee Mason is a prick.

Southampton request Mike Dean and Lee Mason do not officiate games - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55922560

Bednareks red over turned, does that mean martial should get a ban for diving?

 

[James]

Bednareks red over turned, does that mean martial should get a ban for diving?

If they did this he’d not play very much... same with Sky’s golden boy at Villa

Scottish Football -

Billy Connelly became a millionaire using those very phrases. People laughed when he said them. Imagine that!
Poor attempt? I'd wager is was funny as fuck in these shit times, but woe betide anyone trying to make people laugh these days. It might offend someone's safe space...

 

[The Bear]

One for Deutsch here as I know he's a big Sissoko fan....

[Kenny]

Mike Dean has asked to be withdrawn from reffing duties this week after he and his family received death threats.

 

[Tony Towner]

Appalling obviously, but he never loses the ability to make it all about him

In related news - The Soucek Red Card appeal has been successful.

Surely they should now be looking at how, for the 2nd week in a row VAR and a Ref have fucked up

 

[BillyDee]

Wow. Really didn't think they would, with it being the second VAR confirmed red card overturned in a week. Hope this leads to an acceptance that VAR isn't working.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

An acceptance by the people who make decisions regarding VAR. Every football fan I know already accepts it isn’t working.

 

[Kenny]

Mason has been removed from Prem games for the weekend as punishment for his role in the VAR fuck ups.

Reimburse Nuno campaign starts now...

 

[b3h]

Roy Keane was actually insane at slide tackling

Yes I have just properly discovered this via a random video on Facebook. Only popped on to read Paul's latest Sam Smith blog tbh

 

[Tredman]

Not sure some of his victims agree.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He didn’t slide Haaland. Just fucking stamped on him. Keane was a wonderful player but an absolute lunatic if the red mist came down.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

To the surprise of no one all games to continue to be shown live until fans are allowed back in.

 

[Tredman]

It’s getting to be a bit of a chore watching all the Wolves games on TV. Not that I will ever not watch them, I’m just bored of the whole thing.

 

[lemonjelly]

I see where you're coming from but have to disagree tredders.
the wolves games, and to an extent this place is my only real line to the outside world at the moment. this lockdown and time of year is so much harder, that without wolves games to look forward to (yes, I still do, no laughing!) I'd go spare.

 

[sycophantia]

Yeah in this world where some of my other pleasures are denied, sport, especially football is a real distraction.......mind you up to a few weeks ago not sure is was helping that much.
