Spurs and City allocated 2,000 tickets each for Carabao Cup Final, no under 18's permitted. People with underlying health conditions not eligible for tickets either. People will have to take a test at a designated site and NOT at home.

I would assume this will be the same (apart from number of tickets) for the FA Cup final.

What a load of bollocks some of those conditions are.

Anyone remember Lloyd Isgrove? He scored tonight for Bolton. Those with long memories will recall the promotion battle with that club in 1977-78.

PochSG through to the semis, having knocked out Barca and Bayern. They'll face the winner of Dortmund/Man City...can't say he's getting the red carpet rolled out for him.

The only time Spuds did anything decent and played out a 0-0 draw in the last game with us.

And then they signed Ardiles and Ricki Villa to go with the emerging Hoddle. And SFC signed Iván Golac. All 3 were great signings by the respective clubs.

There's a fair few Brighton fans who are still bitter about that I believe.

Check out the centre-half's challenge in the N Ireland womens match last night (from about 3:10 onwards)

Some interesting challenges there, particularly the oñe leading to the second goal.

Bellingham 1-0 Foden so far.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Interesting penalty decision.

If I recall, they got promoted 12 months later .

 

[tomw24]

That's some strike by Foden.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Glorious from Foden.

 

[The Ides of March]

Foden providing the golden touch.

Well done City. The citizens of oñe half of Manchester will be proud. As for Real, experience and nous count for everything if the team are supposedly not as good as they once were.

Doesn't the ball need to be within 20 yards of the involved players for it to be a challenge? What was she even challenging her for at that point!?

Allan Russell, the England strikers coach has today joined Aberdeen as assistant first team coach - he`ll be working both jobs.
I hope he can make a silk purse out of a sow`s ear.
Maybe Danny Ing`s next move is to the Dons ?

Pittodrie has to be the coldest ground I've been to, biting wind off the sea, plenty layers and a hip flash help.

Your right StJ. Many years ago, I was at a Rod Stewart concert, the stage being set up on the pitch. During the first number, he theatrically threw off his jacket as part of the routine. He had to recover it and put it back on because he was cold ! And that was in June !. His performance was better than anything I`ve seen since.
