After Tom Cleverley tried to mention that they were top of their Vertu Trophy Group

They proceed to lose against Bristol Rovers to finish 2nd in their group, with a Goalkeeper Howler in the 94th minute and a red card in the 2nd. Oh and Tom Cleverley isn’t set to be sacked at Plymouth.

That makes the Game on the 9th of December (and the 29th) a very tempting game to go too

Another example of an England International not doing very well in a management role.

I mean, Bloomfield was an English Youth International so Maybe that counts?

I think Jack Wilshere most likely will succeed (Mostly cause I had him in my Football Manager save as a coach then My assistant manager) but I see your point

Not sure what this tournament is but it makes the FLT look sensible by comparison. 5/6 games to eliminate 8 teams!

Looks like something generated by AI

Whatever it is, I am delighted to see that the B teams are struggling

The Auld firm Intelligensia?

I was flicking through BBC and saw it was suspended, was hoping it was due to a massive dust up and red cards everywhere. Slightly disappointed it was inclement weather.

Thought others might have been wondering so decided to chuck it on here.

Nothing else to report :slight_smile:

He’s certainly his biggest ever fan.

The intensity of the rain must have been very localised as sister in law who lives other side of Stockport commented how bad the rain was last night. We had heavy rain but no worse than a typical Manchester downpour!

Probably his dad.

Started watching the second half of the Slovakia/NI game on the BBC, turned it off after about 15 minutes, it exemplified everything I despise in top level football; cheating, diving, simulation, leaving the elbow in etc. as well as the constant niggling in the refs ear.

I find this is also true in the most part of the top domestic leagues too.

Casually watching Gillingham v Crawley on an off on a 2nd screen.

Gills lead 1-0 from a late first half goal.

Just into the 2nd Dack just had a header disallowed when miles onside. Could have done with var!

McCleary started, Vokes bench.

Gills just got a dubious pen at 1-1.

Again VAR wouldn’t have agreed that was a pen.

But 2-1 it is to Gills.

Can you be miles onside?

yes if you either outrun your opposition or start your run from below the half way line

So many refereeing errors in this one. Crawley’s equaliser is miles offside and gets away with it. On the opposite end Dack’s header for Gills was unfairly ruled out. Then you’ve got the penalty which was never a penalty. Utterly ridiculous game of refereeing.

Sometimes people use exaggeration to stress how poor a decision is.

Every week someone will be described as "the best” or “the worst” ever at something, when in reality almost everything has been seen and done before and they’re just mediocre in the middle.

Similarly, the things football fans label a “disgrace” usually are nothing of the sort.

Two poor teams, a poor ref and thank goodness we get to savour a division above.
