I wasn't going to watch tonight's Eng/Sco match as I didn't particularly fancy it, but I did, and I quite enjoyed it, actually.

Post by **dng** » Fri Sep 22, 2023 9:36 pm

I liked scotland's kit

Post by **dng** » Fri Sep 22, 2023 9:37 pm

also i liked all the flying headers

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Sep 22, 2023 9:48 pm

Heh! Of course!

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Sep 23, 2023 7:58 pm

A Kane hat trick and a nice assist, also.

Good for him!

Post by **dng** » Sat Sep 23, 2023 10:09 pm

You'd think he'd be bored of scoring goals by now really

Post by **dng** » Sat Sep 23, 2023 10:09 pm

let someone else have a go harry

Post by **vom** » Sun Sep 24, 2023 7:59 am

interesting that he's not the top scorer in the Bundesliga though, there's a guy at Stuttgart who has scored ten in the first five games which is slightly insane

Post by **endar** » Sun Sep 24, 2023 1:33 pm

i have a local old friend who travels to germany most weekends to watch football there, as it's cheaper than going to premier league games

Post by **endar** » Sun Sep 24, 2023 1:33 pm

he's currently in Leverkusen

Post by **dng** » Sun Sep 24, 2023 2:08 pm

the economics of football are pretty amazing really

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Sep 24, 2023 3:56 pm

If pill makers Bayer have their own team, then surely we should have a club called 'Football BOOTS', in our Premier league!!!!111

lovely bandcamp
Oh no bandcamp have been bought out by epic
Ugh! I give it six months before it all goes down the swanny. I'll be delighted to be wrong, though.

18 months. sold to some arseholes (presumably)

Yup, you're probably right.

Also: "This year, members of Bandcamp’s editorial, design, support, and engineering staffs unionized"

Aha! These are the people to blame!

Post by **vom** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 1:46 pm

yes it's pretty worrying

Post by **dng** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 10:18 pm

a bad day for internet sites i like it seems

unless somehow these are good acquisitions by investment firms

Post by **dng** » Fri Sep 29, 2023 10:19 pm

(there are no good acquisitions by investment firms)

Post by **dng** » Sat Sep 30, 2023 5:54 pm

listening to spurs on the radio is good these days because they've got a player called "a doggie" (not actually spelt like that) so the commentators keep saying things like "passed out to a doggie on the wing" and so on and i can imagine it really is a doggie

Post by **dng** » Sat Sep 30, 2023 5:54 pm

possibly that one jimmy greaves befriended that time

Greavsie's dog skills would've been handy in this 'International Rules' match (Aussie Rules vs Gaelic Football), too!

this week is yet another "are southend about to be dead" week.

tomorrow they have to go to court because they haven't been paying eon any of their electrity bills (presumably if they lose that they'll have to ask everyone in the crowd at tomorrow night's match to hold up their phones when the floodlights go out)

then on wednesday they have to go to court because they haven't been paying hmrc any tax or anybody else any money at all ever for years. and this one is apparently an absolute last chance or you'll be administrated/liquidated one so yeah, they're fucked

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:37 am

unless someone swoops in at the last second and pays 3 million quid to various random entities at the very last minute for some reason

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 2:28 pm

Yup, this'll be it for Southend.

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 2:31 pm

maybe alison moyet will save us

Post by **richschnauzer** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:11 pm

Can we just fuck VAR off now?

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:25 pm

the only solution to var will be more var

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:25 pm

forever

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:26 pm

like the only solution to time wasting will be more time

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:26 pm

forever

Post by **vom** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:43 pm

what we need is another room full of monitors so a team of trained professionals can review the footage of the VAR officials. and so on, forever

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:53 pm

i think they should increase the number of substitutes again

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:54 pm

until the entire game is substitutions

Post by **dng** » Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:54 pm

everybody likes a good substitution
