Internet won for this week already by Billy.

Shame his reward will be a ban...

You're not part of the crowd if you haven't.

I hope you don't get banned for that.

Ireland v Kuwait under 21 international abandoned after Kuwaiti player made racist remarks to an Irish sub.
New Zealand v Qatar also abandoned yesterday when a racist remark was said to a New Zealand player.

Heavy fines incoming... For Ireland and New Zealand

Hard not to agree with this unfortunately.

Fans too divided to stop PIF, Qatar, private equity from conquering football's soul...

The ESL was simple to stop when there was a common enemy. Now, there are too many vested interests to stop the game being picked off by those intent on serving their own needs...

I'm not one who should be criticising hair do's but that's just plain weird, especially for a middle aged bloke.

Aaron Mooy has retired, bit of a surprise as he's only 32, played plenty for Celtic last season and doesn't seem to have any long-term injury issues.

Good player although I'm sure we always made him look approximately 1000% better than he actually was when he faced Wolves.

We made him look like peak De Bruyne in this one.

Waiting for the final whistle in that one was positively interminable.
