Badly copied from FB. (sorry) a ground hoppers dream?

Fairly local sides too so should be a good atmosphere.

I expect Yate would have liked League opposition, but failing that a home tie, against local non-league royalty, should guarantee a big pay day for them.

The mid table tussle is looking interesting already...

surely 'farke off' would have been a better headline?

Conte going to spurs might just help solskjaer. For now.
Given all the money involved, the wages, the pay offs and so many more important things going on, it is difficult to feel sorry for a manager losing their job.

Futsall is quite popular in Portugal. They are, I think , both the World and European champions at the moment, This bloke Ricardinho is a legend.

Futsal hasn't really caught on here yet. Can't offer any reasons why not. It doesn't turn me on though.
I knew a bloke who lost a lot of money setting up a Futsal business here. He was an established amateur normal football coach, who made a few million selling a contract cleaning business, then lost half of it in a hare brained Futsal company.

Nearly 13,000 at Notts County in what was one of the biggest non-league crowds of recent times for a regular season game. Suppose international break might have got a few Forest and Derby in.

So was ours because Colchester had a couple out, loads of Caribbean nations internationals and whatnot knocking about the lower reaches.

We had 303 at Winchester City. 180 is normally a good crowd. General view amongst the regulars was that it was the international break, coupled with a well timed ticket offer that did it.

Hopefully our 5-1 win will get a few of them back.

I know. I just think it's funny . . . I hate international breaks.

Benzema guilty of blackmail.

French footballer Karim Benzema guilty in sex tape extortion scandal

Real Madrid star given suspended jail sentence and €75,000 fine for complicity in attempted blackmail

www.theguardian.com

One year suspended and a fine that equals 1/4 of his week's wages.

I might have expected an appeal against a lenient sentence. Instead we get him appealing his conviction.

Belenenses 1-0 down after 57 seconds , own goal.

 

[The39thStep]

7-0 down at half time . Belenenses come out for the second half with 7 players . Ref blows for the kick off and a Belenenses player goes down and says he’s injured and has to go off . So the match is abandoned .
Completely barmy why not just postpone the game when they announced they only had nine players ?

Why is their kit better than 99% of real clubs' kits?

How do they get a 10th anniversary if they folded after 4 years and that was 6 years ago. They folded, they are no more.

10th anniversary of being founded.

Also, you are familiar with Streatham Rovers, right?

That'll be why you don't get it then.
