DavidM Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Great goal by Bale , horror show by the goalie , and usual disgraceful cheating by Ramos . I love the WC but that’s the kind of cheatfest it also is to often . Anything to win now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will do well in the Premier League next season if we keep. Sess ,Cairney and Mitro and add four or five proven Premier League players. I was really pleased Fulham won. They have been the most consistent side over 2 years now and deserve promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a time Villa were in the European Cup themselves and winning it. How times change Exactly right. And their parachute payment now drops from £33m to £7m making it that much harder to assemble a team to get out of the division. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

GeordieSaint Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 3 hours ago, Gerrumonside ref said: Losing your best player to a freak injury and then having your keeper put in that kind of performance renders any kind of enjoyment impossible. One to forget very quickly! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a keeper crack like that before on such a big stage TWICE!! Real were and are a better team than us but the difference was those two mistakes. Bale’s first goal was amazing and nothing could be done about that. But the defence especially was magnificent blunting Ronaldo to a peripheral role. The midfield tried hard but had nowhere near enough quality to match Kroos, Modric and whilst the attack caused problems, the loss of Salah and a deeper Real back line blunted their effectiveness. So so disappointed as we held our own and it was down to those two horrendous mistakes by Karius. He’ll certainly need support from the club over the next few days, weeks and months as he cost he club a shot at winner the biggest club trophy in the world; he knew it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a football fan I used to find goalkeeper errors hilarious, unless it's the Swindon Town goalie doing it. However since my lad has been playing in goal, goalkeeping errors just make me wince......well......unless it's the opposing goalie in a Town match. Last night's were particularly bad though and on such a big stage. He'll never be allowed to forget it! It's probably already a meme.

ivans82 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Think Ramos won the cup for Real .He took advantage of His and Salahs arms locking , rolled him and made sure he fell on top of him in the hope of injuring his shoulder .

Bleep1673 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Besitkas fined €34,000 because a cat was on the pitch & stopped play in the Champions League last-16 tie v Bayern Munich. They were charged with "Insufficient Organisation", for letting the post-match meal escape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) According to the latest FIFA rankings Russia is the lowest ranked team in this year's World Cup, dropping below Saudi Arabia into 70th. If Putin has any say in the matter, & I'm sure he will, get your money on them to reach the final. England are 12th, and their group rivals are Belgium 3rd, Tunisia 21st, & Panama 55th.

FWIW, I first started supporting City in 1960, long before the current good spell started, and Salford in 1975, long after the last good spell. 1 Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member.
