Would have been Gary Speed's birthday today, 56.
Not just a great footballer and loved by fans of every club lucky enough to have had him play at their club, but from all accounts and most importantly a great man.

if you are struggling, reach out and speak to someone.

A good, underrated player who seemed to have a big future. Guess we’ll never know the circumstances which is probably best.
 
A stunning evening of international football with Belarus v Scotland and everyone’s second team at a neutral ground vs. Italy. Not long until the comforting disappointment of club football for a few more weeks.
 
Didn't read the article did you mate<laugh>

Funnily enough I had a brief browse, looks like they got away with it, if my understanding of it is correct. In short the Prem **** its pants and bottled it because of whatever had gone on in all the legal stuff prior.

Both sides spunked millions on legal fees - complete waste of time ... the Prem / FA arguing that such transactions make the league 'uncompetitive' are, quite frankly, laughable ... you ain't got a competitive league when one club is able to spend over £400 million on new players in a transfer window whilst others, in the same league, are prohibited from strengthening until they have sold one (or more) of their better players ... despite having billionaire ownership ...<doh>

Tbh mate, all these arguments do is make lawyers richer, so I'd not go there, much like the compensation culture we inherited from the Americans, there's only one winner at the end of all this and that's the legal teams.
 
So the Scotland game tonight is behind closed doors, well I'm ****ing that off then.

Israel v Italy is an option Amazon Prime PPV (£2.49)
 
Donnarumma has punched one into his own net. Referee instantly disallowed it gesturing for handball. Not touched anyone but the goalkeeper.
