Toto Schillachi died. This was the first major tournament I really remember Italia ‘90. Only 59. Shan.
Just seen a clip of Arsenal 17 yr old substitute warming up but continuing down the goal line - apparently communicated with the keeper- who next thing is down “ injured” and stopping the game. Back at dugout he got booked - but he was no doubt under instruction.
It needs clamping down on. The Burnley keeper did exactly the same thing and the South Stand starting booing as soon as he went down. It was obviously a tactic as are the cramp attacks for teams defending leads, but never losing teams. Cramp is NOT an injury ffs, insist they hobble off the pitch for treatment.
I see they scraped another 1-0 win tonight Shame that they’ll piss promotion but it won’t be so easy next season. **** them
Their fans are unbearable at the minute. Claim so many of these players are great championship footballers, some even PL standard. This includes Bielik and Paik, both of whom are 27 and have already played at championship level whilst being relatively average. Itawa who couldn’t get a game for Celtic. May who’s never played above L1 level at the ripe old age of 31. Leonard who was signed from Northampton and isn’t proven beyond L2. Can’t wait to watch them get pissed on next year. Like listening to Wigan fans all over again.
In fairness we all thought we were too big a team to be in League 1. The reality of course was somewhat different and we were in League 1 and after a decade of mismanagement it’s where we deserved to be. I was vocal enough about calling it a tinpot league but knew well enough that was the standard of the organisation then. I’ve said it many times now though. Anyone who thinks KLD is doing a bad job should give their heads a shake.
Looking at Twitter I see Aston Villa won the Champions League last night. No need for any further games to be played.
please log in to view this image MILLMOOR is opening up again next week to give people a rare close-up of Rotherham United’s old home. Rotherham United last played at Millmoor 16 years ago but after so long as a “ghost ground” it is coming alive again with the pitch being put into use for hire by local teams. The doors will be opened tommorow (Friday) from 2pm and visitors will be able to see the old stands and walk on the pitch. The initiative has been made possible by long-standing landlords the Booth family and follows a programme of ground refurbishment that has seen the surrounds tidied up and the playing surface restored to its former glory. The improvements have been driven by Ken Booth jnr, son of late chairman Ken. Rotherham players from the past will also be in attendance on the day and there has been input from Millers favourite John Breckin as part of his dementia awareness work. No pre-booking is required. Good to see that an old ground is still being used for the community rather than being sold off to build houses
