Bad weekend gets worse for Scum as their Ladies ship 4 in the 1st half of Champions League final...
Bournemouth 1 Brentford 0 after 60 minutes.
Too early to write Bees off but Cherries looked the better team - only from highlights.
Hope Bees don't make it for lots of reasons but mainly because I think we can actually be competitive next year with the team that Warbs is assembling and we owe them a few!

Chelsea have had two goals disallowed already by VAR against Leicester.
****ing hilarious.
****ing hilarious.
To be fair Col, VAR Was spot onChelsea have had two goals disallowed already by VAR against Leicester.

Another late goal for Morton in the play-offs. First leg of the final v Airdrie, a grim watch enhanced by listening to the commentators waffle away in gaelic - I'm sure they make up half of the noises as no-one has a clue what they're saying! Morton scored a 94th minute goal to give them a 1-0 lead going into Fridays game - unfortunately couldn't get a ticket as the 500 up for grabs sold out in no time, so it's more BBC Alba for me on Friday night!
Apparently Burnley had fans in for the game this evening, although by the evidence of MOTD they were outnumbered by the Liverpool bench and staff, at least in terms of noise made.
Spuds fans are back and booing their own team before half time……..
The 3,500 quiet Burnley fans were let in for free by the club.
The 10,000 miserable spuds paid £60 a head for the privilege. That Danny Levy eh, what a businessman!

Phoenix's Israeli striker Tomer Hemed will not be sanctioned further after controversial A-League goal celebrations
Wellington Phoenix's Israeli striker Tomer Hemed will not be sanctioned further after his controversial goal celebrations in last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Melbourne City.
The former Premier League player scored twice to secure a point against the A-League leaders but it was his celebrations, rather than the goals themselves, that created the biggest talking point from the game.
Hemed was booked for his second goal celebration after putting on a kippah, a brimless cloth cap traditionally worn by Jewish men, in a show of support for his home country during a time of violent conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Phoenix general manager David Dome on Monday defended Hemed’s actions but said he was expecting a “please explain from the league”.

However, Football Australia said the matter is closed and that a yellow card was a sufficient punishment.
“Tomer Hemed received a yellow card for his celebration following his second goal in Sunday’s match against Melbourne City FC, in line with the laws of the game. Given he received a caution throughout the match, the matter is considered final,” Football Australia, the game's governing body, said in a statement issued to Stuff.

Tomer Hemed is greeted by fans, including two carrying an Israeli flag, after the Wellington Phoenix's draw with Melbourne City.
“Football Australia and the Australian Professional Leagues (APL), including its member clubs, are in constant dialogue in their respective capacities – Football Australia as the regulator (which includes disciplinary proceedings) and the APL as competition administrator.”
Hemed, after firing the Phoenix in front with a 37th-minute penalty, ran to a group of Jewish supporters and draped himself in the Israeli national flag.
Then, after scoring a dramatic late equaliser to rescue a point, he pulled a kippah out from under his uniform and put it on. He placed one hand over his face and pointed the other to the sky.
Hemed was immediately issued a yellow card – the mandatory sanction for covering the face or head with a mask or other covering.
The A-League’s match review panel routinely examines every yellow or red card.
“This game is dedicated to you my dear country. My heart is with you. May the peace return soon amen,” Hemed posted on social media after the game.
Dome, speaking as the Phoenix returned home from Australia this week after being based there during the Covid-19 pandemic, said Hemed’s celebrations weren't insensitive.
“I know for a fact that when he does that celebration he’s praying for peace,” Dome said.
“He’s proud of his country and as an Israeli abroad he’s trying to express solidarity with his country, but I also think we have to look at the flipside of it as well and there’s a very real human tragedy that’s going on in that part of the world and we have to be sensitive to both sides.”
