B.R. in U.C.L. = S.O.B. (Same Old Brendan) Brendan Rodgers described Celtic's loss to Lazio as "devastating" with their Champions League campaign faltering again in Glasgow. "We were under no illusions at the beginning of the competition where we sat," he said. "I said at the beginning our idea was to qualify for European football, and that's still the ambition and mentality. "We have shown over the two games against good sides that we can compete. If we can just tidy up one or two moments and maybe get a bit of luck, we will still fight in every single game to get that qualification."

First half from home on my laptop, no issues. Just for grins, I tried to get the second half on my phone from my buddy's patio ... as if it were a competent streaming service like ESPN+ ... And it worked! Saw all three goals. I am now optimistic this will be what we all paid for.

PNE manager will be happy with that half. I'll have to miss the second ... enjoy it folks

Not sure how you can compare this to any form of football.

DEAR LORD GET US OUT OF THIS LEAGUE

Like watching an early round Cup match. Gap in quality; packed defense; opponent cautious rather than looking to generate opportunities. Home games the rest of this season are going to be like this aren't they.

Already the avatar for 2/3 of the users on RAWK.

“A little bit of history” from @kushiro = “An exhaustively researched, well illustrated, brilliantly written doctoral dissertation on a little bit of history” But please don't change Even from across the pond, I greatly enjoy these pieces. As long as they don't interfere with your day job, mind.

Are those blue dots our only shots? Prime launch spots for Ndidi into Row Z ...

“ If you missed out … Luton Town 2,500 - 1 … Inquire within “

Preston fans get it.

Rodgers finally holed his own ship below the waterline in his last two years with us. He’s been typically calculating to return to that club in a two one team minor league: it was the best job he could get, and even he cannot fail in that situation. He’s put the ship in drydock for repairs. But after that? Any big club looking at his CV would note where he left us, compared to where he found us -- and pass. Midsize clubs looking for a bounce would consider him … and good luck with that. The folks consumed by the fact that he still has pockets of defenders, or by hot-take media trolls desperate for clicks, are missing the point IMO. Do yourself a favor and stop obsessing. He’s in our rear view mirror and should not constantly trouble your thoughts.

Just coming in here for a sec to see how @Izzy is getting on…. Never mind.

WE CONVERT. And the rest of this league don’t.

Swedish keeper with the timid version of the Danish star jump. Not gonna work

Way to dive Vesty

Wilf with the stepovers

Their fans would agree

I didn't realize Mike Dean retired to open a School of Refereeing. But this guy obviously is a graduate.

Blackburn are absolutely in the game. 50% more attempts ... we've just been more clinical. We will need at least a third to win this.

CLASSIC FROM VARDY This is hoops, not footy

Not really "morning people", ours

GREAT START!
