General Football Thread

I tend to agree, by the time he was given a chance in the team, the team were already creating very little, totally shorn of confidence and Pukki couldn't score either. He didn't look great but for the second half of the season who did? Certainly not Pukki!

Bah!

 

Some NCFC trivia to get the season rolling.
I [shamefully] only managed 9/12

An infinitely long tweet? It's taking for ever to load .......

 

That was the first game we have won without Buendia since he signed

Only 3 game 1 wins since 2003 .

More importantly the record losing streak has come to an end.

So we were “naive” at Anfield but Leeds were “magnificently chaotic”. Bielsa is such a genius.

 

Had we scored two more goals at Anfield, would we have been "magnificently naive"?

 

Tbf they were drawing 3-3 until 88 mins and gave away a penalty.

We were toast when Hanley put it into his own net in the first few minutes and never looked to get anything from the game.

4 -0 down in the first half

 

We didn’t have Van Dijk gifting our striker the ball either

 

Question about iFollow. I understood that a £10 match pass entitled you to watch both the live stream and, from the day following the game, the full match replay .Is that not right? When I click on the replay of the Huddersfield game, I simply get the Match Reports, no video.

 

The replay is on there:

But I don't know if a match pass entitles you to see it, or if you have to have an iFollow season pass.

 

Thanks CS. I think the answer is that a match pass does entitle you to watch full replays, but only while that particular pass remains valid. The pass only remains valid for two days after the match. So you don't get indefinite access.

 

I did the season pass for iFollow a couple of season's back and cancelled it after the first month. It was shocking. Poor camera work (often just the one angle throughout), no replays and several times no commentary. I would expect that things have improved a bit since then, but the thing that annoyed me the most was how long you had to wait for the match to be available to watch if you missed the live start. There was no option to start the game from the beginning if I joined the game late (often happens getting up in the middle of the night down under) and i'd have to wait till Monday to see the highlights or replay option.

I'd be interested to know if these issues have been resolved, if anyone else has this season's pass.

 

Bale returns to Spurs.
However, one big stumbling block in any potential deal was the 31-year-old's exorbitant wages, believed to be worth around £600,000 per week before tax.

Football really does live on another planet

 

Didn't Macclesfield recently go under with debts of 500k?

 

I cannot believe no one at the Premier League or FA have not thought to apply a surcharge on transfers and agents fees to help fund lower league clubs in peril of insolvency. Take Chelsea, they have spent £250m this window - a 1% surcharge would bring in £2.5m that could go into a rescue fund. Add to this players being sold and the fund could grow very quickly. Multiply this by all Premier League clubs and you have your contingency fund each year. It’s also about time agents took some of the pain as well with clubs being told to deduct a similar % from agents fees paid on transfers.

Not my idea,but I agree with it.

 

The premiership last I knew had 1.5 billion pounds in reserves.....

 

No surprise, but still good to see Adam Idah in the Ireland squad for the upcoming Euro games.
