    Doumbia managed around 5 minutes at the end of Mali's game against Mozambique - not enough time for him to break the 1-1 deadlock.

    Lee Carsley is getting stick now because he said he won’t sing the national anthem .

    Apparently Carsley has never sung at any stage as player or coach .

    No different to some of the players past and present then .

    Why did he have to say it, nobody would have noticed or taken any notice

    Why do some people make an issue of things just to make it all about them and not the overall scheme of things

    I presume he was asked?

    You are right - no one would have noticed or cared really .

    Just gives people something to make a fuss about or poke a stick at if he didn’t do well .

    Almost be worse if he did give it a go just to appease people- get accused of being fake and insincere.

    This game should have been all about wether he would deliver something better than Southgates last few games

    Grealish got a game because three or four players who would have been ahead of him were either really injured or just couldn't be bothered, at least he showed some ambition and skill and he scored

    Kane was once again a passenger on the Central Line without a ticket

    Arnold showed once again that taken away from the Liverpool team he is barely average

    The last substitutions should have been around the 70 min mark and no later so what we got was Southgate mini me

    At least our two number tens played well and scored in wins for their countries

    Sema's Sweden 3-0 up against Estonia at half time - a scoreline that reflects the stats.

    One that doesn't reflect the stats is the match in Lisbon, where Portugal have totally dominated Scotland - but Scotland lead 1-0 at half time. Unlike Sema who was in the starting lineup for Sweden, Porteous is on the bench for Scotland.

    Good to see Ken getting into the team there .

    Suspect Porteous is paying the price for his red card in the Euros ?

    Manchester City have released their fourth shirt for the upcoming season.
    City have confirmed that the kit will only be worn in 'select European fixtures', the first of which being next week's Champions League opener against Inter Milan.

    Yes, two kits are necessary, possibly a third, but four are not required. This is just another money making exercise in my opinion.

    They are money-grabbing sods - I can't remember how much their season tickets cost, but if you miss a match and haven't told them that you wouldn't be going, they apparently just cancel your season ticket.

    Tbh we have done something like that in the past although think it was 3 games to prevent people buying them up and not going .

    But agree one seems harsh particularly as there might be personal circumstances why .



    Agree - I mean what is wrong with 2 or maybe a 3rd just incase ?

    They want advance notice so they can resell the ticket

    Our lot tried it but had to give it up over the tickets on the mobile phones somany of them do not always work and fans have to be let in by a steward has happened to us many many times, bloody iPhones

    I know - but there could be a number of reasons why the ST holder couldn't attend and, to my mind, it's just wrong that they think they can just take something away from someone who has paid good money for it.

    Different time and different situation I suppose, but when I emigrated to Australia I had three months left on my season ticket - I left it with some OAPs to use if they wanted to - I would have been mightily annoyed with the club if they had pulled a stunt like that.

    It is my Friday night football at Chateauroux. A game lacking in many of the skills we become used to, but think back to the early fourth division games under GT. Chateauroux score from a clear penalty. HT 1-0. 60 minutes ticks over and they are losing 1-3. 80 minutes on the clock and the first goal of a hat trick arrives. 90 minutes, and it is time to try and run down the additional five minutes. The ref is enjoying this, and the clock is showing 97 minutes. For heaven’s sake, blow up, my glass needs refilling. Yes, a win, but two teams that need to learn the art of defending.
