The General Football Thread

I imagine Rowett will end up there or Norwich.

Miura from Japan becomes oldest professional footballer to score a goal,,,,at the age of 50. Breaks longstanding record of Stanley Matthews.

 

Brilliant. Considering that Stanley Matthews played for Stoke City, could Kazuyoshi Miura do it on a cold, windy night in Osaka.?**

Football in the snow! They were clearing the lines of snow during the game.
Doubt it would have been played over here.

 

Perhaps not these days. Undersoil heating means that it rarely happens, but before then it was a regular occurrence in winter.

 

Because we're a load of pansies when it comes to snow.

 

We played that absurd game in Birmingham about five years ago...believe they were clearing the lines for that one, too.

 

Always makes me laugh how a country as advanced as the uk falls to pieces when we get a bit of snow

 

Or anything more weathery than English grey. When your trains can get cancelled due to glare from the sun, you know things are bad

 

A young Matt Le Tissier scored his first hat-trick, against Leicester City, during an First Division [pre-PL], on a snow-laden, slush and mud Dell pitch in early March 1987. and it snowed during the game too.

 

Or anything other than ideal weather conditions. If there's more than a puff of wind one is advised not to go sailing or take a ferry. if overnight it has been slightly less than balmy one needs to watch it on the roads next morning and on no account go for a walk. One misplaced tree leaf grinds the entire train network to a halt. The list goes on. Other countries just get on with it.

 

Rowett is on our list for the future isn't he?

 

Maybe there's a chance for Fats after all? I've heard he's amazing on a cold, windy night ...... anywhere

 

Finn Harps win their first game of the season away at St Pats. Great result!!

 

Rowett appointed at Derby.

 

HT Leicester 1-0 Sevilla (2-2 Agg)

Before VVD injury and Ranieri sacking I would have been loving this but not so sure now.

 

Leicester are now winning 2-0!...............but nobody cares.

 

I see England name their squad for the upcoming friendly against Germany and qualifier against Lithuania on Thursday. Southgate is expected to name a larger than normal squad and it seems that Redmond and Ward-Prowse are deservedly in content for the first time, I would also not be too surprised to see Harry Winks involved too.

Four Southampton players would be an achievement even if Forster would be lucky to be included.

 

Vardy proving what a horrible **** he is once more
