Other club football

I don’t really care but Feyenoord beat Milan, especially after their ex-player, and our favourite villain, Santiago Gimenez scored against them in the first minute.

If he thinks the refs are bad, just wait until he sees the football.

I expect my pending move out of the city means I’ll stop going to games and, consequently, never give the A-League another thought. Everything about it is shit.

Aint Nobody and Ingo are sad.

Kane off at HT in Bayern's latest shit-fest with a dead leg.

Yeah, well one of them gets paid to put up with this shit. The other would probably be as fucked off as I was when a match he’s paid to be at got scheduled for a 5pm kick off on a fucking work day.

The PL might be out to screw the fans, but the A-League appears to just straight-out hate them.

This is true. And even moreso for NZ fans. Although fcuk Auckland fans. Bournemouth-lite glory hunters.

Big Man City fan tonight. If they beat Real, their next CL games would be either side of playing us - with no chance of winning the league, you'd think they'd prioritise the CL.

Alexa. Play Wonderwall.

Went to 3rd-place Brigg v 4th-place Wakefield last night. Wakefield much the better team and deserved winners, but the ref made me want to put out a Maranakis-esque tweet...

1) 2nd goal - handball he ignored
2) Brigg's best player in the first half went in for a tackle - as he got there, he was yanked back by the neck/shoulder, so he was off balance and his studs went up. Wakey bench storm the pitch in protest, ref immediately produces red card, free-kick to Wakey. No action on the pitch encroachment.
3) Brigg captain brought down on the edge of the box. Free-kick - to Wakey and a yellow card for simulation.
4) Second half - Brigg CF goes through, brought down in the area. Play-on.
Brigg coach steps on the pitch to question the decision - linesman flagging, gets him booked for pitch encroachment.

Then last minute, Wakey player goes in studs-up, ankle breaker on Brigg captain, who jumps straight up to confront the Wakey player. Wakey player collapses to the ground under minimal contact. Straight red for Wakey player. All is calm.
Oh no, right in front of the Brigg bench, ref books the Brigg captain, and he's off for a second yellow. For nearly having his ankle broken.
Brigg's player-manager, who had been substituted, boots a spare ball onto the pitch in frustration. Straight red.

Suffice to say, none of the second-half cards would have happened if the ref had given one of those first four decisions the other way. You are genuinely left wondering how anyone could be so inept can be allowed to referee such a game - and be so consistently one-sided in crucial decisions. I hope Brigg are considering their options.

Nice to see Anthony Taylor keeping his hand in lower down the pyramid.

Went to Counteh last night. Cold and mainly crap.
Lyle Taylor came on for the last 20 minutes for Colchester. Can confirm he hasn't yet found his level.

I was there and all this is true.

Fourth official for Forest v Arsenal I believe, so expect Nuno to be sent off.

Are you in the Pavis Ingo? I’ll try to find you on Saturday if so.

I was in the Family Stand last night but mix it up.

I'm away Saturday so going to lose my streak but if you are at the (wheel)Barrow game i'll try and catch up.
