The only good thing to come out of it is a spotlight on the ridiculous price of replica shirts in general.

Its got to the stage where I kind of hope Newcastle loop hole the shit out any spending they do to dominate in order to make a mockery out of FFP

Thought as much, thank you

I'm late to the party, someone provide me with a short summary as I cant be arsed scrolling through pages. 50 words or less. Thanks in advance

Hope the winner of Georgia v Luxembourg qualify for the Euros over Greece.

I dont agree with either decision to kick, just that I get the reason why they did it. But yeah I agree that both had a feel of panic kicking rather than something with a bit more cohesion.

I quite liked this response. If a couple of teams even dared to do this though, the 'loophole' would be closed fairly quickly.

Thats one way of stifling Man City when they get demoted

To be fair they have got better this season, the bar was quite low mind.

+1 for inventing a new word for very nervy

Is that due to BoE interest rates being expeced to remain unchanged this week?

Heard of the name but havent seen him play. Would be good for the game if him and Stan Moody rose through the ranks over the next few years to get a bit of a rivalry going.

Allen out of the World Open already, as is FT favourite Tom Ford.

Very much this Almost every game or season there is the feeling of 'we need to do this but if we dont we are screwed'. Whatever happened to trying to win a game or have a good season to simply enjoy the match or season rather than doing because of the fear of the consequences of losing? Surely thats what football is all about?

Maybe its just me being old fashioned but I'm not a fan of players switching a shirt round to show their name after they scored or doing what Diallo did in showing off his name. Seems to give the impression that the player thinks is all about them instead of the team

What a match this has been

Shit game management, see us the half at 1 nil down and we have a chance.

This could get embarrassing

Too easy for them

Some Irish fans were saying the same thing last weekend when Connor Murray kicked it away with less than 2 minutes on the clock. The reality is that although its sounds easy on paper to hold onto the ball and recycle it through the phases, you are relying on not giving away a easy 3 point penalty for not releasing the ball in mauls in your own 22 or having the ball turned over. You also have less space to play with as you are effectively going backwards on each phase with keep ball tactics. Against Scotland yesterday, Ireland had to do the same thing with keep ball but were inside the Scotland half and pulled it off, which takes off a hell of a lot of pressure.

We've been a bit shit in this half....

Overthrowing a lineout 5 metres from your own line is so Scotland

Hopefully a competitive Italy is a regular 6 nations thing, the only game they werent competitive in was Ireland away.
