Mental game haha

[astfgyl]

sound man. yeah mental game i found a stream for the second half and to be fair hats off to tottenham, they actually could have won it with 9 other than rotten luck. very impressed with them and distinctly unimpressed with chelsea and their clinging on vs 9 men ways

[Ollkiller]

Aye mental game. Spurs were brilliant in fairness. That new manager is class. Can see them getting top 4 at least.

[astfgyl]

Spurs got pretty scalded yesterday again. That finish for the first Wolves goal was class though. Chelsea v City this evening I suppose it'll be something akin to the fucking alamo

[astfgyl]

What a game, sort of like the alamo at both ends. Love games like that, both teams just going for it. Thought City had the better of the luck with the deflection but fair play to Chelsea for not crumbling and letting the heads drop.

If they keep this up it could be one of the most exciting mid table finishes in quite a few years

[astfgyl]

Irish game on here I dunno how they're not 4 or 5 down but they weren't far off 1 all a minute ago so you'd never know they might do something

[Ollkiller]

Keeper played well. Way too slow in build up play. Browne making good runs all night and pass is never played. And 5 at the back is a system were shit at.

[astfgyl]

Ah god that was pitiful stuff so it was. Worst campaign I've ever seen ireland go through. Can come up with any amount of excuses and hard luck stories but two wins v Gibraltar providing our only points on the board is stark

The best thing about that whole sorry campaign was the little bit of Depeche Mode leading into the breaks there this evening. An inspired choice as "Ghosts Again" seems rather an apt description of the performances in general

[DISRUPTER]

FAI Cup final was class today.
Devastated for poor pul Shels. To lose on penalties is awful craic. Athlone are serious.

[StoutAndAle]

The ref having to call play back and awarding a penalty 2 full minutes after the incident in the Palace vs. Liverpool game is more VAR horseshit.

2 minutes after the tackle/foul and then the ref spent another 2 minutes watching the replay 8 times! Jesus wept.

And yet - NOBODY seems to be accountable for the errors. They called play back for a penalty on Saturday minutes after the fact but in the recent Spurs vs. Liverpool game it was just repeated mumblings of "Can't do nuffink. Can't do nuffink." even though the goal call was blatantly wrong and made on the spot!

Super League has reared its ugly head again.

Super League has reared its ugly head again.

Bayern Munich dead against it. If the premier league goes you cant play in the premier league if u play in that then it wont get off the ground. Hopefully anyway. Load of bullshit.

[Bürggermeister]

I don't see the fuss, to be honest. It's not as if football didn't sell it's hole a long time ago. The noble gesturing from "fans" is pathetic. Fucking slaves to a brand, nothing more. Every one of the businesses (fuck calling these greedy shams "clubs") involved is more preoccupied with selling tat in China than any sporting endeavour. It's the corrupt scum in FIFA, UEFA and the sub-leagues, who drink sour milk from their rotten tits and who fear the TV money will leave, who stand to lose from such a league. The reaction of the English businesses, once their customers turned against them, was fucking gas. They all still want in, despite every cowardly plea to the contrary. Let it rain on the cunts.

Great game, filthy durrrty business. It needs to die and start again.

[astfgyl]

That super league can go fuck itself.

On a lighter note, watching the league cup without var was wonderful and really show what a ball of shit it is

Hilarious hearing Ceferin come out and say "football is not for sale"

Not for sale by anybody but him and his FIFA mates. Utter fucking cretins the lot of them
