Europa League

[shen]

Rosenborg - Ajax was a beast of a game. Great entertainment and The Lord scored ? Ajax must be gutted to be out of Europe already after last season's achievements.

[Tuna]

That penalty by Hadjuk was pathetic.

 

 

 

[spacemunky]

Incredible goal by Gylfi.

[z-layrex]

Paulinho looked good tonight for Braga. Only 24, one to watch?

[Stinkenzo]

 A load of shocks tonight

 

Legia Warsaw who made the CL group stages last year are out to Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol

Ostersunds, a small side from Sweden with a British manager I think, knocked out Galatasaray previously and have now eliminated PAOK

Vardar of Macedonia did the double over Fenerbache which is insane, 4-1 on agg.

Midtjylland lost to Cypriot side Limassol

Dinamo Zagreb who are CL regulars lost on away goals to Albanian side Skenderbeu

Rosenborg beat Ajax as mentioned

Red Star Belgrade beat Krasnodar on away goals

 

Iceland champions FH went ahead twice at Braga but lost 3-2, 5-3 on agg.

 

 

 

So rather notably then there is no European football of any kind for the remainder of this season for

 

Ajax

PSV

Legia Warsaw

Fenerbache

Galatasaray

Dinamo Zagreb

Club Brugge

Panathinaikos

Sparta Prague

Malmo

Astra

The Östersunds manager is Graham Potter, 42, a former Birmingham City, Stoke, West Brom and York City player.

 

The article about the rise of the club is too long to post, so a link will have to do:

Pure luck.  He only scores off set pieces

I'd recommend the younger coaches to move abroad to a club with potential that is also patient.

 

As, in this instance, more time to have a plan for the club and keep working towards ambitions rather  - than be at a club in England where the heat is already on in terms of pressure to keep the club's fortunes around if you lose a game badly etc.

 

Also reckon international managerial experience could also better equip British coaches to broaden their knowledge of the role to help with their management future.

The fans hit out at the goalkeeper there too.

Everton fan holding a child is caught on video punching Lyon player think it was the keeper 

 

social services should be informed and he should be banned for life

Incredibly the fan who threw a punch had a toddler on his arm. Madness!

[foxfanazer]

We definitely did well getting Maguire over Keane. Not that it was our choice but he looks much better

Just now, Worthington said:

Got 'dogs' for saying Maguire was the better signing....Still my view though !

That clown holding a sprog and lashing out at the same time wants investigating !

Unbelievable and how Williams didn’t get a red was incredible. Everton look a real mess atm

This is why I love Europa. More obscure teams and nuttiness you just don't see in the CL.

[AKCJ]

Who would have Ronald Koeman then?

[Harry - LCFC]

That incident with the bloke and his kid - while it is bad, it's also hilarious

Yep, I like to think I'm clued up about football but every year there's still teams in it I've not heard of

Didn't really hit the Lyon player, merely slapped him.

 

Still, what a **** of a fan.

 

Nobody discussing Williams intentionally shoving the Lyon goalkeeper just before that incident? Pure stupidity.
