OT: Association Football

[King-Gutho94]

Vinicius was lucky to stay on the pitch, you simply can't heatbut another player.

I'm guessing the low force was an issue.

Yeah exactly it should have been Red.

But if Kilman grabs his face and falls to the ground like an oscar award winner its a red straight away.

Why couldn't the ref just give it a red.

Its basically encouraging more Oscar performances out there.

Anyway as a Fulham fan ill take the win.

Every win is vital for a West London battler like us to stay up. Its still a bid edgy atm.

Everton losing 10 points has definitley made life easier.

 

[Twizzle]

I think Everton will end up with enough points to stay up.

Yeah the bottom 3 are so bad they will still get enough points.

 

[Twizzle]

Luton FC have actually been a bit of a surprise, such a small club that plays in a cow paddock. It will be between them and Everton for the 17th spot I reckon.

No one really expected them to stay up but they keep picking up points.

 

[the phantom menace]

Nice work all things considered.

I feel like our natural level is #20, and if we can get to/stay on the edge of the top #16 ranked countries then that's a bonus?

how sad for soccer obsessed "countries" like Scotland and Greece to be ranked below Australia
As sad as India missing out on winning cricket tournaments

Seriously when are the FA growing to grow some balls and ban these blokes for 3 or 4 months.

Its nothing short of disgraceful yelling and abusing the referee.

And if more then 2 players are involved 5 points should be taken off the side for every player or club official guilty of abusing a referee on or off the pitch.

Monetary fines are laughable for a club like City.

It would be like giving a homeless bloke on the street 10c for them.

Scotland are alright they are basically the NZ of the UK.

Small little battlers up north with beautiful scenery up in the highlands and more likeable then the poms.

Just a struggle to understand them.

Scotland seems to like soccer as much as NZ likes rugby union - however their performance on the pitch at national level is more like Lebanon in the the RLWC

they do seem to think they are soccer experts - I think if all scottish immigrants were deported half of all junior soccer teams would need to find a new coach

They have produced some very good managers: https://syndication.bleacherreport....son-and-the-top-10-scottish-managers.amp.html

Yeah - Alex Ferguson was from Scotland - maybe their skillset is telling talented people how to play

it was pretty bad and I don't know why they put up with it, I'd be reaching for the cards if they surrounded me like that, then watch them back peddle

it will never stop till they do something about it and fining teams like Citihad means nothing

Having been to Birmingham for the Ashes in 2019 its an absolute shithole but i imagine its going off after Villa beating City this morning at Villa Park.

 

[Twizzle]

after we softened them up

If Arsenal hadn't have scored that winner yesterday morning with the last kick/header of the game v Luton, my mob would be top of the table on goal difference.... That Liverpool v Arsenal match on Xmas Eve morning AU time should have plenty of desperation in it....
