Debating going but stupidly, my sentimentality is saying dont, as i dont want to ruin the memory of THAT night 🤣. Best end ive been in. But to reiterate last post, decent town, decent pubs

its in

It doesn't help that it seems the search criteria contains : "must have recently worked in the city of sheffield" 😂😂

Germany womens kit 👌

Fair point. 👍

Remember when we knew what we were doing saturday afternoons? Friday night games are the worst. Long week at work. Mad rush in Friday traffic and Saturdays empty.......unless you count going fosse park as entertainment ......which i do not!! Tv really is ruining things for the actual match going fans.

Ive seen plenty from top professionals over the years. I mean, there are worse things wrong with the game but im a bit anal with stuff like that. Its the rules!

And me......considering the grief we used to get at under 11 level for foul throws

Where are you guys looking? Efl website and sky websites not showing anything beyond the Sheffield Wednesday game when i looked

Great post. Things have changed so much. Remember gary Lineker scoring in the world cup semi final against Germany? He got a kiss on the cheek from Stuart Pearce and they got on with it . Nowadays its a choreographed dance routine for 5 mins for scoring in the league cup 2nd round 😂. Disclaimer .....i may be exaggerating slightly

I dont think its a class thing, its a culture thing. Ive been involved in boxing all my life as well as football and the lads in boxing are arguably "rougher" and more "working class" than in football. Yet respect is taught from the outset.....to your opponent to the ref etc. You will rarely see a boxer arguing with the ref, apart from isolated incidents. They might have a quick moan about an early stoppage but by and large decisions are accepted.

It may ruin a few games at the outset with numerous yellow or even red cards but to my mind it will be worth it in the long run. Footballers argue against almost every decision, even if its blatantly a foul or opposition throw, and its taught from an early age. I remember our under 15's manager telling us to "put pressure on the ref, call for everything". A culture change is needed from grass roots up and refs need to be supported by the f.a. If they dish out cards, even if it means superstars being sent off and suspended.

Go. Leave. Get out. Never put our shirt on again. Train with the kids while your contract runs down. Take a pay cut and transfer somewhere. Retire. Go on loan. I dont care which one. Just please never make me have to watch you have a leisurely jog and make half hearted challenges again.

Agree. 15/16 years ago id probably have been one of those that turn their noses up at womens football but since having a daughter ive had to change my views (justifiably). Whilst there isnt the "edgy" atmosphere i grew up with in the men's game which excited me, as CosbehFox says the presentation for the kids is excellent. So many girls getting interested and having their own heroes. My daughter has even started playing and got in the school team, very much as a result of seeing the lionesses as much as our usual city games. Great to see and the atmosphere is very family friendly.

Took my daughter. I said at the time it made a change to be in the ground and not feel angry or want to vent at the players and manager. Family atmosphere. Great for the little kids. Standing areas looking good. And went in the normal "away" end. Not somewhere we will usually get to sit/stand. Game was a bit of a no contest. Cant see the point in VAR at a friendly. It may have made a bit more of a game of it if jamaicas "goal" had stood. I didnt see an issue with it at the time.

If hooliganism was rife like in the 80s id half understand it but for me, its as simple as its too intrusive, like much in everyday life. Cctv every where, increasingly cashless society so that someone somewhere knows every single purchase you make. Websites that know what items you have viewed and email you afterwards asking why you didn't buy. Phones that email offers for car finance an hour after you had a conversation about your car with someone. Im going off topic with a rant on modern life but for me this is a step too far and unnecessary.

Youve been waiting to get that one in since relegation haven't you. 🤣 Good work

GET OUT! Good riddance. Worst manager in living memory. Now can we just have someone who refuses to play soumare and ill be a little happier.

I did moan about the pricing for the premier league and said something along the lines of "prices never go down do they". Im very pleased to see that they have and i was wrong. That said, i still think anything over about 35 quid is too much for a second tier game (id like it to be less than that but im being realistic ). It will be interesting to see how many games actually get cat A status and what teams the club feel are worthy of that status....i can only think of one or two really, a handful at a stretch. This doesnt affect me too much this coming season as i have a season ticket but pricing has been a bug bear of mine.

Im guessing work will start after the womens friendly at the weekend

Its nice in the caribbean. He ought to make a proper holiday of it. Say.....2 years or so.

Behave ....if hes tubby i must be morbidly obese. Thanks for that 🤣

I loved that we refused to sit after the introduction of seats in the kop. But why we adopted actually standing on the seats rather than on the floor is still beyond me 🤣. Lots of fun but resulted in many falls and as you say, bloody shins 🤣

Seriously looking at the copenhagen derby next season for my next trip. Not least because after flying to Copenhagen, the customs officer asked how long i was in Denmark for and i said about half an hour 🤣, we are going over the oresund bridge then up to stockholm for the derby. Maybe its a swedish/danish rivalry but he said "we have derbies here too you know" quite put out he was 🤣. Got me thinking though . Anyway, anyone been to copenhagen derby? Recommendations/contacts for obtaining tickets? Best areas to stay?
