    It’s honestly a disgrace how they haven’t been given a transfer embargo and court-ordered to pay outstanding wages to players. The commentator during West Ham and Man City said they want to sign Bernardo Silva as well. It’s a ****ing mockery.

    Barcelona now think De Jong's contract is illegal and he should revert back to his previous one. That's convenient.

    This is bizarre, a Barnsley fan calls out the directors of their new shirt sponsor (HEX cryptocurrency) for a load of homophobic tweets and gets this response...

    The BBC has received hundreds of complaints about its decision to scrap the reading of the classified football results at 5pm on Saturdays after 70 years.

    Despite criticism and pressure from both inside and outside the organisation, the BBC insists it is sticking to the plan. The results were axed without warning before last Saturday’s Sports Report, the first of the new football season, provoking a storm of outrage.

    It is understood that around 300 complaints have been received by the BBC about the decision which was taken after Sports Report was cut in length to accommodate the newly-acquired radio rights for the 5.30pm Premier League match.

    The broadcaster said in a statement: “We’ve received some complaints from those unhappy that the classified football results will no longer be read out on Saturdays within the Sports Report programme on Radio 5 Live.

    “We appreciate the strength of feeling towards the classified football results within Sports Report. It’s always difficult when a programme with a special history changes, but there are good reasons for the change.

    “With the addition of the 5.30pm live Premier League match to our coverage, Sports Report has been condensed into a shorter programme — cut from 1 hour to 25 minutes. The classifieds were taking around 5-7 minutes to read, which would have taken up around a third of the programme — constraining the range of sport we could cover.

    “Having a live match at 5.30 is a great addition to the 5 Live schedule.”

    It said that results would still be broadcast at times during the programme and will remain on TV on BBC One.The culture secretary Nadine Dorries described the move as “wrong” but there will be no government intervention due to the requirement for the BBC to remain editorially independent.

    Many former BBC figures including Des Lynam, Mark Lawrenson and Mike Ingham, as well as the Football Supporters Association chairman Malcolm Clark, have criticised the move.

    Can’t they just read the scores out really quickly. Maybe get Joe Pasquale to do it.

    At least Eintracht Frankfurt don’t have to deal with Di Stéfano again

    SUPER NOODLE
    Tonight’s Super/Splendid/Marvellous Cup in Helsinki, between Big Cup holders Real Madrid and Euro Vase winners Eintracht Frankfurt, represents an echo of European football’s glorious past and a glimpse into its AI-powered future. The previous competitive encounter between these two clubs was the European Cup final at Hampden Park in 1960. Not much happened: Madrid won 7-3 thanks to four goals from the great Ferenc Puskas, plus a hat-trick from someone called Alfredo Di Stéfano.


    The attendance of 127,000 remains a record for a European Cup final and Madrid’s performance that night, beamed around the world to millions of TV viewers, was “by general consent, the most sumptuous club performance in football history,” as the late Frank Keating wrote on Big Website, in 2002.

    “Without question, Real at Hampden in 1960 was by far the most delectable feast I ever described,” Kenneth Wolstenholme, renowned commentator, would later enthuse, in what was presumably a bitter blow to his mother’s cooking. “It was football on a different level than I’d been taught,” parped Bobby Charlton, in what was presumably a bitter blow to his brother’s backyard training sessions. “My first thought had been, ‘this match is a phoney, edited’,” ogled Bobby. “These players are doing things that aren’t possible, aren’t real, aren’t human.”

    Speaking of things that aren’t human, the Super/Splendid/Marvellous Cup will provide a piece of history regardless, with semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) – Fifa’s and Uefa’s latest attempt to be down with the kidz – set to be used officially for the first time.

    “The new system will operate thanks to specialised cameras which are able to track 29 different body points per player,” Uefa tooted, before adding a line oddly reminiscent to the Fiver’s breathalyser record. “A total of 188 tests have been performed since 2020.” What could possibly go wrong?!

    As for the actual humans, Eintracht kicked off their Bundesliga season with a 6-1 home thumping by champions Bayern Munich, but head coach Oliver Glasner is remarkably taking the positives. “Sometimes it’s good to get a slap in the face,” he whistled, seemingly unaware that tonight’s opposition – which includes messrs Benzema and Vinícius – might give him another one. Chin up Oli, at least you don’t have to deal with Puskas and Di Stéfano.

    City had to slum it that season by entertaining the Czech side Banik Ostrava

    Fantastic to see as in pre satellite days this was the first chance to watch a live European game. And what a game to see.

    Eintracht had beaten Rangers 12-1 on aggregate in the semi-final. Bill Shankly’s dad collapsed and died at that game. You got the distinct impression Shanks thought if you gotta go…
