Football (Soccer)

@AdamJ - whoever you play I will end up rooting for you. If it is Boro, well I need say little more. If it is Coventry, well they are cheats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_City_2–2_Bristol_City_(1977)

Thanks @Crispy-Heron. Still can’t quite believe we are 90 (ish) minutes from the Premier League.
Think we will struggle if it came to pass, but the money would certainly help build the new stadium and regenerate the infrastructure of the club for years to come.

@Nocturama @AdamJ - congrats to Luton for getting into the Premiership. Well deserved. And it shows that cheats (Coventry) never prosper.

Thanks @Crispy-Heron - was a long, and very surreal day, but an awesome experience of highs and lows, especially having seen us lose two Conference finals previously - one on penalties and one to an off-side goal.

It won’t take much for you guys to be back in the mix next season…hoping you and @IH-GARY will be celebrating in 12 months time!

This is the way we used to play soccer.

The FA Cup final 1970 - The most brutal game in English football history. Leeds United and Chelsea had a special sort of animosity for each other.....

One yellow card was given........

I love the fact that tackling seems to have virtually nothing to do with getting the ball

@Giles that game has since been re refereed twice to take into account more modern interpretations of the rules.
In 1997 David Ellary awarded 6 red cards. In 2020 Michael Oliver awarded 11!

Yeah unbelievable

@Giles …so you’re saying not to use this as a U13 kids training video.

And then there's always this:

@tody i love King Eric!

Took my son to PSG v Reims on Sunday.

Mbappe started on the bench, but the noise when he started warming up was unbelievable. I think PSG will struggle without him - the player that played in his stead was a long way off.

The crowd was generally pretty low key (compared to English football), but the Ultra’s just sang (and partied) through the entire 90 minutes, which made for a fantastic experience.

A litle bit excited…

[AdamJ]

@Aetas looking forward to this one!

[Twistlock]

Bundesliga, here we come!!!!️

[JamesB]

With the Euros fast approaching, who's your money on? Mine has to be England but confidence isn't at a high

[Tago Mago]

@JamesB always England. And it always ends in tears

[Aetas]

My hometown feels electrified at the moment…

[Tago Mago]

@Aetas let’s hope for a BVB win. Even though I support the real Borussia

[Aetas]

@Tago-Mago Borussia United!
