  1. Jeezo thats tri-ownership.
  2. The same Sam Cosgrove who scored 47 goals in 103 games? Yes For comparison Miovski scored 44 goals on 98games Statistics miniskirts etc but a few people with short memories here and lumping him in with Main, Hornby etc is an insult
  3. Heres hoping hes more successful than some of the french players that have graced the pittodrie pitch. Alex Di Rocco seems to be the only one I have positive memories of. Although the mystery around Toni Koumbuare's age was at least interesting
  4. All Ireland Hurling semi finals on bbc 2 northern ireland this weekend. Cork vs Dublin on at the moment featuring slightly odd incident when the ref booked Dublin's waterboy. Gaelic football semis next weekend i think
  5. Why change the title and move it to the football forum? Is 'celebrity deaths' a problematic title? Was Sandy Gall known for tough tackles yet fair play?
  6. Still no decision. Seems they are awaiting on the outcome of Lyon's appeal against relegation to the 2nd division and having their 6th place finish wiped out due to supposedly being financially fucked. French governing body really don't fuck around unlike some tinpot island nation
  7. Decison delayed till monday. Suspect deals are being done and multiple press releases drafted explaining why its OK for Palace to stay but not Drogheda
  8. Well Dogheda Utd's appeal was rejected. Something to do with their league not forwarding them UEFAs memo about multiple ownership earlier in the season. If they kick palace out or move them to the conference league id say they have deeper pockets for lawyers to challenge so my cynical mind says UEFA will say 'ok we'll turn a blind eye this time but next season.....'
  9. Confederations cup was fine as 'the test' for the world cup venues. This is pointless and I really hope it is a one off. My favourite memory of the confederations cup https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxHoH2kIDNSgO5BxymxLkV9q7vAGsHFo8p?si=zSS2UMO3piwKDqEH
  10. Tic and SEVCO have had their hampden allocations cut by 500 seats each due to fans using pyros. Id like to think the next time they play each other there 1000 seats will be unscrewed and put into storage
  11. Falkirk sign 37 year old Brian Graham from Partick Thistle. The rumour on 'Off the Ball' a few weeks ago his ultimatum to the thistle board possibly being true. Personally happy he gets another shot at playing in the premiership
  12. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvg5y49zjndo If it is indeed the case the lowest rank co-owned team gets kicked out its a further nail in the almost sealed coffin of my interest in football. You either kick both out or neither. Forest gone down in my estimations with their antics too. I trust Cormack has plans in place for the 2030 world club cup when both the Dons and Atlanta qualify
  13. Await to see if this move destroys the reputation he built up at Brentford
  14. God only knows what we'd be without him
  15. Thinking about it now the laugh track is only in the early series. Completely removed when they really started to push the Anti Vietnam message
  16. I believe the laugh track was never used during the surgery scenes (no matter where is was shown). Still the best box set I ever bought. Think there's only 4 cast members still alive now
  17. Think this is going to be a similar story each season. One of the usual champions league teams will have a bad season, end up in the conference league and steam roller their way to the trophy. Before the final they will have already qualified for the following years champs thereby making the europa league place prize irrelevant and the cash wont even cover a weeks wages for their squad. The idea this would be the tournament for 'the smaller teams' out the window.
  18. Riejka won the Croatian title so Dynamo Zagreb now potentially in the seeded teams
  19. Riga and Tallinn cops still not taken your poster down from reception then?
  20. Angus Gunn currently a free agent. Comeback to his Dad's first pro club for a bit to get his career back on track? Of course he would automatically become invisible to Steve Clarke and Co but international football is a sideshow
  21. Clydebank defeat musselburgh 3-1 on aggregate to win promotion to the Lowland league. One promotion away from being Scotland's answer to Wimbledon
  22. Should add spurs and man utd each got 7m for reaching the final. Spurs got an extra 6m for winning (plus next seasons champs league group cash) Chelsea and Betis will get 4m each with the winner getting an extra 3m Inter Milan and PSG each get 18.5m with the winner getting an additional 6.5m Those sums are fuck all to most if not all those clubs whereas to the likes of Bodo/ Glimt and Djurgaden it could have been club changing
  23. This/ last season teams in conference were given €3.17 for reaching the group/league. Win a game €400k Draw €133k Europa league clubs got €4.31 Win a game €450k Draw £150k In contrast champions league group stage teams got €18.62 Win €2.1mil Draw £700k
  24. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxU2MbhunOwGCBndNpM2QKM2qjoh1ve6Wq?si=UD51KHworghFjOFi Clipped from young lad who does match day vlogs
  25. Then today was all for nothing!!!!
