ITV having to fill and fill because of a thunderstorm. Adrian Chiles to Roy Hodgson "how about a bit of despair, Roy?"  :biggrin:

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.

John Oliver on FIFA and the World Cup. Very funny, slightly chilling.

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.

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.

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.

The new soccerball season starts today.  My dad is taking me to see Banbury United v North Leigh in exciting friendly action.

I've had another thought that'd make it even more 'authentic' - you have to play in your school shoes!

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!

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.

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!

I don't see why they should.  He was a monstrous ######.  That the person he was a ###### to was also a ###### ...  well, that's hardly surprising either.
