gingerjon Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Football League has apparently rejected the proposal for a 'League Three' and for strategic loan partnerships. However the thing currently called the Johnstone's Paint Trophy may be reconfigured to admit Premier League B teams. And thus England will win the 2022 World Cup.

Maximus Decimus Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 FIFA are a disgusting organisation, the personal plaything of dictator Blatter. He's now pulling the race card to get himself out of the utterly ridiculous and obviously corrupt choice of Qatar in 2022. At least with RL the worst we face is self-interest and incompetence instead of corruption. The worst is that nothing will be done and the whole event is just seen as another black mark on English football, meaning that we'll probably never see an English World Cup again in my lifetime.

Methven Hornet Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We've drawn Derry City in the Europa League qualifying. That should be a cracking tie; is it winnable do you think? If so, will they be at home in the next round on 17th July? I ask because I'm in mid-Wales that week (daughter's graduation) and I wouldn't mind popping along. St Johnstone have drawn FC Luzern from Switzerland, which is certainly more welcome than last year's tie with FC Minsk. The authorities don't seem to understand the needs of travelling football fans regarding visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone have drawn FC Luzern from Switzerland, which is certainly more welcome than last year's tie with FC Minsk. The authorities don't seem to understand the needs of travelling football fans regarding visas. I don't think it is particularly winnable. We got into Europe via the Welsh Cup - losing finalists to TNS after what must have been one of the easiest runs to the final in history. Even our semi final was against a lower tier side - and we finished 7th (albeit disputed) because we didn't make the top half of the split in the league. I'd expect a spirited but heavy defeat over two legs. With regards to the next round. This tie is match 27 and my understanding is that the home side on July 17 will be the side that wins match 27. They will play Shakhtyor Salihorsk of Belarus. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

shrek Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 They've got houses to buy up though. Some of the Class of 92 own Salford City. I had the pleasure of Wigan Robin Park v Salford City last Tuesday, was so good Phil Neville gave up at half time and left! Finished 1-1, should have been a Wigan victory but they missed a penalty with about 10 to go, Salford put out a strong team but they didn't look right fussed about putting a shift in!

Exiled Townie Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The new season begins. What??? Its only bleeding August, whatever happened to a football season from September to end of April. At least it gave the people who have no interest in football a bit of a break. Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive.

Bedford Roughyed Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I wonder if anyone will be apologising to Vincent Tan after all the abuse he received? With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
