Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

[Optimistic Nut 468]

Make international football semi-pros/amateur.

 

Sort of like how the Olympics used to be. Would be brilliant seeing players from tier 7/8 of English football for example playing in the World Cup against similar level players from across the world. Might make watching a country feel unique again. Can't remember the last time it felt like watching Brazil with their flair, Italy boring their way to a tournament winning 1-0 every game, England booting it to a big man for the little man to feed off in a 4-4-2. Since nearly all countries have the same or similar sort of Academy structure at the top end these days, international tactics are nearly all identical now. This might freshen it up.

 

Might even give footballing backwaters a chance in major competitions. I'd definitely watch that sort of Euros and World Cup over what we get now.

Didn’t realise it until we had the benefit of hindsight. But for all its organisational shortcomings, the poor football in many matches and the problems with corruption, etc. Italia 90 was the last proper World Cup.

I thought Germany in '06 was ok, but apart from that.....?

Is he not just telling the ref/linesman chap that his hair is fucking shite?

Coote should just show the enquiry these pictures and say "I rest my case....he is a cunt."

Faruk Koca has been sentenced to three years and seven months in prison for punching the referee in December.

Unsurprisingly, that referee and every other one would still rather have a beer with Faruk Koca over Jurgen Klopp.

[Gemmill 49834]

Career over for Coote, you would think. What a tit, allowing someone to video him. 

 

Alright for managers to set an entire fanbase on the ref though.

Apologise for posting from this cess pit.  But Winter made me LOL

His mates or whoever filmed him are scum like.

 

What gets said when you're on the bags never gets brought, up never mind filmed and posted online. 
 

He was right about Klopp too

Would love some less sycophantic journalist (are there any) to acknowledge just how bad Klopp's behaviour has been.

Of course they'd never be allowed back to Anfield and probably banned by the PL and FA. 

[Dazzler 11720]

Cootes is a shit referee but a cracking judge of character tbf.

Liverpool are untouchable. Man United too. (When Man U are 'criticised' it's largely generic/faceless/not naming names criticism with the aim of them not being as shit anymore and getting them back up there. They don't really give a fuck about anyone else maybe other than Arsenal).

it's a woeful tale for sure.

 

a young bloke's career is in tatters.

the misery of drug addiction.

a story of horrendous betrayal between friends with the possibility of blackmail thrown in.

further allegations of debauched parties in thailand with sex workers.

rumours of grooming of 17 year old boys.

the questioning of the integrity of pgmol and its possible collapse.

the wider implications of the entire cocaine industry and the death and violence that surrounds it.

 

but worst of all it's given the bindippers the opportunity to wave the victim card and claim that they should have at least another 2 titles.
