FFS 14 penalties taken and only 5 scored. The body language of that last swedish player just screamed 'im never scoring this'

VAR officials having a mare tonight

Auckland seemingly made £3.3million which is 676% of their annual turnover. BBC hinting that may be causing issues with the other NZ clubs Still baffles me why they were in it in the first place. Claim was it was the worlds best teams......

Im just hoping Diana Ross sticks her penalty away this time.

Brought out the 'lets get ready to rumble' bloke who declared Chelsea were in the Blue Corner hailing from Stamford Bridge and PSG were in the white corner etc etc. He then of course had to say his catchphrase before then countdown started.

Apart from the 5min KO delay when they tried to turn it into a boxing match.

Jeezo thats tri-ownership.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.....'

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
