A reminder that the women's game starting (and I emphasise "starting") to catch up to the men's game in terms of status and popularity etc isn't all positive: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-47661471 |

Fabian Schar of Newcastle United and Switzerland got knocked out cold whilst on International duty to the extent where an opposition player had to put his hand in his mouth to prevent him from choking on his tongue.
After some treatment from the physio/doctors they let him carry on playing.
There's been a lot of focus on head injuries in recent years which makes this even more crazy to see him allowed to carry on.

Crewe have finally agreed to pay compo to one of Bennell's victims, apparently advised by lawyers to settle out of court to limit the damages. But still refused to apologise to the player. Fucking appalling disgrace of a club.

AFC Bournemouth wage bill of £101.8m last season. Rose by 42% culminating the club making a loss. But yeah, still a fairytale.

That's absolutely obscene. They get crowds of 12,000 FFS. Premier League gravy train bullshit. |

The EFL wanking over Sunderland and Portsmouths support for the checkatrade final. Fuck off. Cunts the lot of them, defeating the whole boycotting of the competion

10 years or so ago, when Sunderland and Portsmouth were regularly gracing the top league and winning FA cups, this is the dream they obviously both had about how to take that further and create a club of legends

I'd go if Swindon made the final again. I'm not going to pretend that wouldn't be the case and, to be honest, I haven't really boycotted the competition either.
I've never taken the Football League Trophy seriously under any of its guises. Living in Bristol and Swindon drawing Bristol Rovers at the Mem (like we did) means I'm going.
The current format isn't good and I'd prefer the competition to be axed outright but it's not worth getting in a tizz over.

Thing is, its two reasonably big clubs with a bloody big fan base who have had a shitty time of it for a fair few years, actually a fairly perfect final for the FL as they were always going to bring a decent few along starved of success. |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/477754335 reds in a season is quite some going, although I can understand wanting to land one on Scott Brown!

I quite like Scott Brown. He's one of a few players these days who can take a hard tackle and laugh it off. The second one on this clip makes me laugh every time.

The playing equivalent of the knob in Stone Island standing behind a row of police showing how hard he is by shouting 'come on then' at opposing supporters knowing they cannot react. |
