Yeah, it would be great for Scottish football, but terrible for Hibs fans! If O'Neill comes back in, Celtic have a fair chance, and Rangers have improved. Nancy going ought to make it more difficult for Hearts whoever they replace him with! I heard a few Hibbies saying on Saturday that they were now in the very weird position of wanting Rangers to win every game to stop the Jambos winning the league. Frustrating that Hibs couldn't get it together this season as it's been a long time since both the OF have been so mediocre/sh ite.
That was such a weird appointment. O'Neill wins7/8(?) as interim manager, but the Celtic board decide to bring in the new bloke who's had modest success in the MLS just in time for the top-of-the-table clash with Hearts. A new coach who is dogmatically-wedded to a way of playing even though his new squad doesn't appear to have the players to play that way, and there's little time to familiarise the players with the new system. It's almost like they hadn't noticed a much more experienced and successful former manager of theirs quickly crash and burn in the same way this season at Forest.
The sensible thing to do now would probably be to appoint O'Neill until the end of the season rather than pluck some up-and-coming coach who can point to 88% possession and midtable finishes.
I went to watch Hibs on Saturday and had a very enjoyable train journey listening to a load of Celtic fans moaning away before their game about just how unenjoyable it is being a Celtic fan these days. Must be brutal supporting a club like that when all you have for comfort is 13 league titles and a load of cups in the past 14 years.
If Man Utd are switched-on they will make an approach for Wilfried Nancy at Celtic before another club snaps him up. A dogmatic approach to playing his way even if he doesn't have the players to play his system, and they lose every week. Him or Big Ange. Or Rooney.
Mate, I don't have the words. It goes without saying that your Dad would be extraordinary proud of you. There are some absolute gutless cu nts out there, people who, for their own welfare, I hope will hopefully one day look back with embarrassment at stuff like that. You run a brilliant forum for your fellow fans, produce brilliant previews/reports etc, and traipse around the country watching Rangers finish 16th, in order to produce those write-ups. Loads of supports would kill to have someone producing such brilliant content.
So your attitude to clubs not treating the cup with respect, is to boycott the cup? Isn't part of the problem that clubs then use poor crowds to justify not taking the cup(s) seriously?
On the plus side: massive allocation (Bristol City got just shy of 9,000) and I think tickets were £20 or something. Winnable tie too.
On the negative side: shocking place to watch football and took us an hour to get inside Stratford station afterwards, even though we left on the final whistle. Would suggest drinking round Hackney Wick rather than anywhere round Westfield/Stratford.
Consistency is the holy grail in sport, and you have to credit Alex Neil for consistently being an absolute ar sehole for what seems like about the last twenty years now. Week-in, week-out, just out there being an annoying, chippy twa t.
Struber says he tried to shake Neil's hand twice, Neil says Struber blanked him... my instinct tells me Alex Neil is a cu nt.
Not sure how Millwall won that today. Very limited going forward, big lumps and solid at the back. I know the Championship isn't the home of total football, but I'd be very surprised to see Millwall finish in the top six.
In our entire history, we have had 3 seasons in the fourth tier. It's difficult to think of it as our natural position, but I guess it's your bucket list!
Nice idea. This from the BBC: "Controversially, Fifa also has a resale platform where tickets can be resold at any price, usually much higher than the original cost, with the governing body also adding 15% charges on both the buyer and seller."
No-one cares about fans less than those ars eholes at FIFA.
Bring back Sepp Blatter! He might have been dodgy as fu ck, but at least he didn't humiliate himself as much as this fu cking cun t. The awarding of this 'FIFA peace prize' is fu cking beyond words.
There look to be a tiny amount of Cat 4 tickets in each stadium, a few thousand tops of Cat 3, and the vast majority are Cat 1 or 2. The idea that you have to bleed every penny out of punters does my nut in. Given they'll make billions in profit, would it hurt them to even pretend to be making a majority of tickets within reach of normal/sane people? The drinks/food prices will probably be bananas too.
I work with an Egyptian lad who lived all over the Gulf growing up and Oman is the only Gulf state he would recommend visiting. He says it's beautiful and it's the only one of the Gulf states in his opinion, where the people haven't largely become materialistic ars eholes.
Istanbul is an amazing city. Up there with any city I've visited. So much to do and see, amazing food, great locals, some really good bars, mental football... a brilliant place.
My bucket list would be finishing the 92 (almost there, but clubs need to stop moving grounds and getting relegated into the National league), a game at Dortmund, a game at Arbroath, and a game at Dinamo Tbilisi (wanted to go there since hearing their name on the radio as a kid).
England Test match at Newlands.
On the flip side, I have less than zero interest in going to Vegas or Dubai.
Germany is obviously a much larger country with potentially greater distances to travel for a lot of sides. Regionalising league is fine until you get a situation where you have someone like Gloucester or Bishops Stortford having to play in a Northern division.
I think I'd support 5 divisions with 20 clubs. It's certainly time to address the unfair situation with promotion from the National league.
I hate the people who run the game, I dislike a lot of the people/states who own clubs, ticket prices are often an absolute disgrace, I hate TV companies taking the pi ss with kick-off times and dates, I hate VAR, I hate the twa ts at the IFAB who seem to go out of their way to make football as difficult to officiate/understand as possible, I really dislike some of the ar seholes that I come across at games/on the way to games, and I really fu cking hate John Terry. Other than Fulham, I have no interest in the PL or European football, and I barely watch England qualifiers as there’s zero jeopardy these days. But I still absolutely love football.
My son and I do 40+ games a season, mainly watching Bristol City (his club), but also the odd Fulham game, Scottish games, random games to get a 92 tick, non-league football, and a game or two abroad. I’m going to watch my dad’s non-league team with him on Saturday. The football is often fairly average/poor, but I just love the day out, whether it’s meeting up with friends for home games, or having a day visiting another town/city. I think more than anything, seeing how much my son loves playing and watching football, and the friends he’s made doing both, has stopped me from falling out of love with the game.
I've done Norwich via Cambridge before. I went from Finsbury Park, but it doesn't look like that's a goer this weekend. You can get a train up to Cambridge from Tottenham Hale (Victoria line) though. Take about 2.5 hours, but less faff than replacement buses.
Coming back, you could go Norwich to Cambridge, and then get the 17:37 train from there down to Tottenham Hale. That would be around 3 hours on the way back.
Being naive, I didn't think it possible that the Swiss could produce an even bigger cun t than Blatter to run FIFA or that I could hate FIFA any more than I did at the time of Chuck Blazer et al. Infantino really is the biggest cun t in football. And I include John Terry in that.
