Borodane 6,297 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 A danish team has just given a contract to a new talent. His name is, wait for it, Tarik Ibrahimagic. I'm not even kidding. If ever there was a name that weighed heavy on the shoulders😲 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,297 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Ouch. It looks like the PL clubs have to repay more than 300 million pounds to broadcasters for the cancelled matches. It's estimated that it could cost the PL clubs a billion pounds if the season is scrapped. Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Good for Barsnley - it would be a complete joke if those teams were to avoid punishment. Whether the season resumes or not, the points deduction for Wednesday has to be added to THIS season's tally, not the next. Imagine if the season had finished one game earlier... that would be us in the bottom three over teams who have blatantly cheated. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/may/25/barnsley-relegation-letter-efl 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Saying that, absolutely wouldn't put it past the EFL to just say, "oh yeah we investigated no punishment" and relegate Barnsley anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

I have long thought that the PL should redistribute a bigger portion of it's income. Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they gave them a 9 points deduction, like Birmingham last season, neither of the two clubs would be relegated as Wednesday would survive on goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,280 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 It's still bull *** to relegate teams when they can survive if the games aren't played. We should not be declared safe along with the other 4 teams who are within 3 points of going down, whilst Charlton, Luton and Barnsley are relegated, if games aren't completed. Indeed, what Barnsley say there about 'sporting integrity' is right on the money. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,297 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 My local club was back in action again yesterday behind closed doors. However they had invited supporters to join via zoom and had then set up huge big screens in the stadium in front of the stands that could show up to 200 hundred streams of supporters from their own homes. I watched the game on TV while also attending via zoom and it actually worked fine. There is a video of it here on a Danish newspaper. Just let it get past the commercials https://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/fodbold/dansk_fodbold/superligaen/agf/gaar-verden-rundt-igen-banebrydende/8141368 They also played a sound stream out through the PA system of a former home match, so you got some crowd noise and singing. The players were really happy about it and the atmosphere also got though on TV. Days before the game it was also possible to go the fan shop and get free cardboard figures to paint and set up in the stands. Football is back and I love it. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Just watching the Denmark v Portugal game from Euro 96 (starring a certain Mr Beck) and spotted this billboard. They didn't really think this one through did they? 3 Link to post Share on other sites
