supposedly even after a two hour break, the referree did the var signal and then trotted over to the monitor to disallow the goal

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jul 25, 2024 8:17 pm

Excellent!

Bev Priestman is the modern day Don Revie, although Revie had to rely on Skylab to monitor the training ground fitness of Derby County star Archie Gemmill.

Southend beat Bishop's Stortford 2-0 in a friendly last week. There's no stopping them now

Post by **endar** » Wed Jul 31, 2024 5:59 pm

it's where my dad and his family are from. I spent much of my childhood there and my grandad would take me to watch football at stortford stadium.

also i passed my driving test there because i know the roads like the second home that it is

In Bishop's Stortford, Daren controls the road traffic lighting system.

Talking of football...

I hadn't, before yesterday, even heard of Flag Football, which is going to be in the next Olympics.

Post by **dng** » Sun Aug 11, 2024 7:28 pm

Not even people who play flag football have heard of flag football

Start as you mean to go on, Rooney (0-4).

He'll surely be picking up a helluva whack for not a lot of work over the next two years. Good luck to him!

Steve Cooper the new Leicester City manager? My dad will be beside himself with glee. "He's the ugliest bastard I've ever seen!" he hooted at me delightedly one time.

And those 15 minutes against argentina when we were really weirdly good at whatever world cup that was (2002)

that was good. If only Sheringham scored

This new champions league draw (and presumably the other competitions) is weird. Especially because as far as I can see a teams seeding conveys absolutely no benefit at all to anyone, which seems distinctly un-UEFA like

Post by **dng** » Thu Aug 29, 2024 4:55 pm

But also because they've got ronaldo there pressing a huge button to initiate the draw computer over and over again, but the buttons clearly fake and does nothing because the drawn teams already seem to start coming up on screen before he's pressed it

Post by **dng** » Thu Aug 29, 2024 4:55 pm

I hope they had to pay him sixty million pounds to press that shit button
