bovril Posted 13 February 2016 Posted 13 February 2016 Sad to hear! One of Europe's most effective 'stoppers' in the mid 90s. Uncompromising, but effective! From an era when football was certainly uncompromising, especially in that part of the world. Stoichkov, Hagi, Prosinecki... players that combined flair with grit, and centre halves that would terrify and amaze in equal measure. Maybe I'm over romanticising things, but I do love the idea of France or Germany being taken apart by a team of relative unknowns in a muddy field in the Balkans. I doubt we'll see international sides like that again... Shouldn't have had those two pints at lunch...
hlz Posted 13 February 2016 Posted 13 February 2016 Big game tonight in serie A. Hoping for a napoli win
ScouseFox Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 messi just passed a penalty AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL
Phube Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 messi just passed a penalty AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL is that even allowed? https://twitter.com/betvictor/status/698977961576394754
m4DD0gg Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 is that even allowed? https://twitter.com/betvictor/status/698977961576394754 I think the rule is the ball has to travel forward.
purpleronnie Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 I wonder if Ronaldo would have been so selfless.

RowlattsFox Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Probably being a bit of spoilsport but I wouldn't like that if I was Celta player and would probably take them out for taking the piss.
Merging Cultures Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 I think the rule is the ball has to travel forward. Why doesn't everyone do that? Very effective.
ScouseFox Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Why doesn't everyone do that? Very effective. because its probably easier to just score. all it takes is a defender to stand in front of suarez's run and he doesn't get there. it's really good showing off but it's pretty pointless. i'd wager if they happened 20 times, vardy's penalty yesterday gets a goal more often than messi/suarez's.

Absolutely, it seemed to take Suarez and age to get to the ball. A more switched on defence/goalkeeper would probably have stopped that. That being said, it's ballsy to try it given how Henry and Pires completely messed it up. If Mahrez ever steps up for a pen again I hope he does that. We'll have more chance of scoring.
MC Prussian Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 At first I thought the pass wasn't meant for Suarez. And isn't the Celta keeper initially moving in the right direction?
Soar Fox Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 At first I thought the pass wasn't meant for Suarez. And isn't the Celta keeper initially moving in the right direction? Neymar said it was supposed to be for him.

Jordan Posted 16 February 2016 Posted 16 February 2016 Neymar and his peoples must be the stupidest and most arrogant fools if they get done for tax evasion in Brazil, of all places. I'll be damned if the auditor quoted in that article didn't wink a few times when he spoke about what Neymar's got to do to settle this. I'm sure he'll be back on that private jet once he makes a payment for a third of the the amount owed plus a few well-placed paper bags.

Im sure charges will be dropped then.

StanSP Posted 17 February 2016 Posted 17 February 2016 Messi just scored his 300th La Liga goal. And his 2nd was Barcelona's 10,000th goal.
MC Prussian Posted 19 February 2016 Posted 19 February 2016 Three EU ministers have started a petition asking for an inquiry regarding Gareth Bale's transfer to Real Madrid. They are under the impression that taxpayers' money was used in the deal. One out of the money lenders involved in the deal, Bankia, was only shortly before bailed out by the Spanish government in 2012. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/jun/03/spain-bankia-bailout-imf-eurozone West Midlands representative and EU council member D. Dalton is one of the three people involved in the official request:
Stadt Posted 19 February 2016 Posted 19 February 2016 So the govt bailed a bank out and briefly owned it, the bank then lent money to Real? I know state backing of a sports team is illegal but this isn't like they're directly funding them.
Guest Col city fan Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 Over 43 thou in the Sydney Derby today. Great game and great atmosphere. Gonna go next year hopefully.
