@mclaincausey with the way offsides has been called during the entirety of the tournament, I wasn't hopeful it would've gone the other way. absolutely gutted

[IrishHeart]

Disappointing but the best team on the night and for the entire tournament won.

[mclaincausey]

@louisbosco oh I wasn’t referring to that, just the actual plays themselves. Everything was kosher

[Brian]

I’m glad I got up at 4am to go to the pub to watch it not glad about the result
Will say though 5.30am beers on a Monday morning were surprisingly good, wouldn’t make it a weekly thing though

5 goals in 10 minutes of play - on a wet Wednesday in Stoke.
How bad could it get….@JamesB ? 🫣

[JamesB]

@Nocturama I have no words at least we scored one might have to have a word with the coaching staff over at Portsmouth just help them out

[IrishHeart]

@JamesB @Nocturama could be worse - my brother is a Celtic fan and travelled to Germany to see them mauled 7-1 by Dortmund.
That said, he had a brilliant time and couldn’t speak highly enough of the Dortmund fans.

[JamesB]

@IrishHeart Agreed it's all about the experience mate. But.... I'm thinking we dont talk about this loss anymore biggest one we've had in 16 years so I'll take that

Damn, it's amazing how quickly it's become tough to be a football fan in Manchester...

Not that I'm complaining.

[Nocturama]

In Manchester? What about the United fans?

[IrishHeart]

I’m a United fan just back from the game. A tough watch!

[JamesB]

Anyone in here thinking the same as me or am I the only one? is the Premiership very boring to watch as a neutral? My team is in the Championship and looks like any game could go either way, you can beat top of the league one week and the next loose to bottom of the league, just don't know what will happen next!! Whereas the Premiership is all pass round the back, bore the other team into making mistake and take advantage And don't get me started on the way they fall to the ground like absolute wimps then get up as if nothing happened! love to know your thoughts

After watching Cardiff v Luton on Tuesday I am excited to be watching a match of similar standard tomorrow.

That is not exclusive to the Premier League, and one of the reasons I don't enjoy watching football as much as I used to. I'd rather watch an ice hockey game

[goosehd]

In my all encompassing ignorance, I didn’t know that Gosport even had a team or pitch.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd you don't need a pitch, you need a park or a lawn of sufficient size and a couple of sweaters as goalposts

[goosehd]

Considering how much I’ve heard about the Gosport team over the years…..they must be stellar to watch.

[Tago Mago]

@AdamJ I love that whoever put this together couldn't even be arsed to copy paste the visiting team's actual crest

[AdamJ]

Gosport were duly dispatched by table topping Merthyr Town last week, great afternoon I must say! A bar right behind where we stood certainly helped
