smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Although not an excuse for the performances. These are pretty much dead rubber fixtures with half a*sed effort after a long season. De Bruyne said as much and even France have been winless in all 4 of their games. Obviously and ideally we were expecting better results right now but I think the Autumn games are the ones to be concerned about if this run continues. Link to post Share on other sites

The only ones who cares are those small football countries like Denmark, Norway and Hungary... 😜 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Cardiff just signed eighth new player, Ryan Allsop, ex-Derby, seem to be doing a lot of business very early.. thought we might have been looking at him as, despite conceding four against, he had a good season and earned them quite a few points Link to post Share on other sites

Although its exciting for fans, it normally never ever works. Happy for us to chill for a bit 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Agree. just thought he was a possibility. good age, available on free and looked decent whenever I've seen him.. obviously mostly in highlights but probably would have been an upgrade Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair to Cardiff, they've let a lot of players go. I'm surprised they let Vaulks go, I thought he looked a very good player when at Rotherham. I'm also very interested to see how their new signing Adams adapts to the Championship. He's been brilliant for Forest Green for a couple of seasons now. Link to post Share on other sites

Boro are supposedly working to a plan, to create Wilder's dream team (or as close to it as possible). If we're being more selective it will take longer to firm up some deals.

At least STFC are trying to hold on to a slither of morality It does seem like quite a distant, indirect immorality though. If I've got it right, the owner of the ground is owned by an investment fund who also have investments in other companies who have been involved in bribery and the financing of crimes. You can probably come up with links to crimes like that all over the place, including in most of our pensions. Link to post Share on other sites
boroie 484 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Quote if the reclaimed penalty area at Wheatsheaf Park can now be used as a metaphor, then around the rings of Uranus, someone will definitely be taking another few inches in the box tonight. Absolutely batsh!t mental 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Bordeaux, who were recently relegated from Ligue 1, have been relegated again (before a ball has been kicked) due to their financial issues. They are now in the third tier of French football. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Essuuaitch 330 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 thats severe, makes you laugh at the punishments dished out by english authorities and even then there seems to be extra escape systems in place for any london based club. the harshest i recall was rangers being demoted 3 tiers and thus enabling celtic to bask in glory and self acclaim for winning everything for 5 years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unsurprisingly the FA and local MP do precisely what you'd expect...sweet FA! 🤦♂️ Link to post Share on other sites
