Textor has managed to go from having a big interest in two clubs playing in Europe to an interest in no clubs playing in Europe in a day or so, life comes at you fast doesn't it... They also don't really seem to understand the basis and aims of said rules, I'm not sure that saying 'we can lose a shit load of cash because we have a shit load of cash to lose' is the zinger he seems to think it is..... |

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but it reminded me a little of the away game at Wrexham 2 years ago. Keep on going to the very last minute!  |

We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Appears it was a friendly played as 3 lots of 45 mins so the Dynamo goals were all scored during the 3rd "half"

I dunno whether this is necessarily right or wrong with football, but I see National League clubs can opt out of taking part of the National League Cup (same as the stupid league trophy crap we have to play with the PL u21's etc), why can't league clubs choose to do likewise and just sack it off!

Definately "whats right with football". I have read a few of the non league forums and almost every one have a similar opinion about that cup as we do with our version, that its a total waste of time. We would be better off having a cup between L1, L2 and National League clubs only. Be a great way for fans to experience new grounds and bring extra money to the smaller clubs. |

TBF my query was really more that it could be considered wrong that they can and we can't..... The L1, L2 and National League competition seems logical (so obviously will never happen!), but then again considering the vast majority (if not all) of NL clubs are now full time anyway I still think they should be incorporated into a restructured FL anyway! |

Diabolical penalty shoot out from both teams, but England progress.

Yeah, we won that by default really...some embarrassingly bad pens from both teams... |

They need to swallow their pride and accept they need smaller pitches and at the very least shorter matches. They were basically physically incapable of kicking a ball properly by the shoot out.

Put one of the goals on the half way line and leave the full size pitch for the grown ups  |
