Golf ??

I watch the last few hours of the major tournaments but that’s not gonna cut it for me :)

At least I have MOTOGP , Speedway and MaxV in F1 to keep me interested..

Guess we have Wimbledon but then again I can’t abide Djokovic who will probably win

Well maybe it’s time for this thread .. earlier TalkSport had a very tetchy segment discussing how women were impinging on the men’s game ..

The overwhelming opinion/s were that there were far too many women pundits on the televised men’s games. …

I’d say 90% of the callers were unhappy with so many women pundits or co-commentators with only one guy who was adamant that he didn’t know one person who felt that way …


One bloke was raging that there were always women working on the men’s matches but the women’s games were 95 to 100% women .

Oddly enough I can only recall seeing Ian Wright and one Nordic bloke working the women’s matches

Just wondering ..

Do you think that the players share the details of their salaries to the other players or will it all be kept secret ??

Maybe their contacts have a clause in that salaries can’t be disclosed ??


I can imagine someone like Cronaldo would want to brag to the others …

While Sir Alex Ferguson was a fine goalscorer is his days as a player, it’s probably fair to say his legs had gone by the time he was appointed Manchester United manager. But that didn’t stop him donning his boots and shinpads for one last time in what must be one of the most bizarre tales of his 27 years in charge of the club.
Fergie’s last hurrah as a player, if you can call it that, came during a strange mid-season trip to Bermuda for two friendlies in his first full season in charge of the club.
Travelling to the Caribbean in November 1987, United faced fixtures against Bermuda and Somerset Trojans, the latter of which was played on a cricket ground.

Ferguson was understandably not too keen on the trip in the first place and had previous experience of touring the Caribbean when in charge of St Mirren.
That tour featured Ferguson bringing himself on as a player to exact revenge on Guayana’s centre-back for his “cruelty” in “taking liberties” against St Mirren’s young striker Robert Torrence. Fergie was sent off for a challenge that left the defender rolling on the floor “like a dying man”.

The 'Fortuna For All' project was unveiled at the end of 2022/23, outlining the club's ambitious plans to offer free admission to all spectators at the Merkur Spielarena, from hardcore season ticket holders and fan club members to occasional visitors and even away fans.

"We want to make it clear what Fortuna Düsseldorf stands for," said club CEO Alexander Jobst. "With 'Fortuna For All', we're doing things differently and breaking new ground."

The club is running a pilot scheme during the 2023/24 campaign before the project is fully implemented in the coming years.

I agree with you, VAR and the officials in general need more severe punishments if they either:

1. Get multiple big decisions wrong in the game.

2. Get a real blatant decision wrong (like the Hand Of God for example) I mean tbh that should've saw Argentina disqualified.

3. Singling out a team to give wrong decisions against (like Wolves & Liverpool this season)

And with Liverpool, it's clear to see that the officials don't like Klopp complaining to them all of the time, so they in return give wrong decisions against his team as revenge, even though it's going to piss him off which they don't like.

It's really ****ed up, but I think that's what's happening when it comes to Liverpool's mistreatment.

It's the biggest issue with essentially allowing entire nations to own Football Clubs, they'll always get away with a little bit more than the rest of the clubs.

Tbf I get that Man City and Newcastle fans won't care (and tbf why should they I suppose) but it's definitely a problem that the Sport wants to address quickly, because a lot of people in particular are starting to notice Newcastle getting away with behaving like Conor McGregor on the pitch.

Breaking news regarding Chelsea !!


Thought to be guilty of similar offences as ManC …

A period of 2005 - 2018

Involving many transgressions including a £7 MILLION payment given to Eden Hazard’s agent at the time.. others involve Conte around the title win .. and Willian amongst others

This case may move faster than the City case as the FA apparently have an appetite for this one

Sanctions may involve fines , suspensions and even points deductions or removal of titles ( same sanctions await City )

The Guardian has reported that leaked files show the Russian billionaire used offshore companies to make transactions worth tens of millions of pounds to agents and associates which appear to have been for the club's benefit, and could have breached financial rules if they were not officially declared.
The revelations are likely to intensify questions over how Abramovich, who owned Chelsea for 19 years until he was sanctioned by the British government in 2022, funded a period of unprecedented success.
Both the Football Association and the Premier League are already investigating potential financial rule breaches by the club.

Earlier this week, the BBC reported leaked documents revealed a money trail linking Abramovich to two men dubbed "wallets" of President Vladimir Putin.
BBC Newsnight, BBC Verify and Panorama partnered with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism to uncover the revelations as part of Cyprus Confidential - a global investigation led by reporters at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and Paper Trail Media.
They alleged that leaked documents from Cyprus reveal new evidence linking him to a secret £26m deal (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67300638)
in 2010.

Turkish football leagues suspended indefinitely after Ankaragucu president punches referee

Matches in all Turkish football leagues have been suspended indefinitely by its football association after a club president punched a referee at the end of a Super Lig match on Monday night.

Faruk Koca, who is president of Ankaragucu, ran onto the pitch and struck official Halil Umut Meler after their top-flight game against Rizespor.

Koca's side had conceded a 97th-minute equaliser, ensuring Rizespor would stay four points clear of their hosts after the 1-1 draw.

Ankaragucu fans invaded the pitch after the game and Meler was also kicked when he fell, though it was unclear who his assailants were. Meler eventually made it to the dressing room with the help of the police.

In a statement released several hours after full-time, the Turkish Football Federation said it condemned the "inhumane and despicable" attack on the official.

"We are following Halil Umut Meler's health condition closely and wish a speedy recovery to our valuable referee.

"This inhumane and despicable attack was made against all stakeholders of Turkish Football. Everyone who has targeted referees and encouraged crimes against referees is complicit in this despicable crime.

"The irresponsible statements of club presidents, managers, coaches and TV commentators targeting referees have paved the way for this vile attack today.

Real Madrid will make a fresh attempt to sign Paris St-Germain's France striker Kylian Mbappe, 25, and have given him a deadline of mid-January to decide if he wants to join in the summer.

Real Madrid will offer Mbappe £23m per year and a signing-on bonus of £110m.

[Mystic Mock]

Diego Maradona was better than Lionel Messi. Change my mind if you can?

But neither were Cristiano Ronaldo.

He didn't need to do a Hand Of God to win a game.

And he didn't need FIFA to rig him a World Cup win because he weren't going to be playing internationally for much longer, like what happened with Messi.

Ronaldo in his prime was naturally just a great player.

And just to add, here's the two clearly obvious ways that FIFA obviously wanted Argentina to win the last World Cup.

1. The way the Referee was determined for England to be eliminated against France (and the fact that the two nearest rivals to stopping Argentina just happened to be drawn against each other) but that part could be just a coincidence tbf.

2. The Most obvious way you can tell that it was rigged for Argentina, the fact that it was held in such a hot Country like Qatar. There's only really two exceptional teams over the decades that are from extremely hot climates (Argentina & Brazil) and they knew that European nations (the continent that is generally the best at Football) couldn't realistically compete because most of our nations are either cold, or moderately warm, they don't go anywhere near Qatar's temperatures.

I would've liked to have seen if Argentina/Messi would've won that World Cup in say Japan or South Korea?

And I don't mean to disrespect Maradona because I'm sure that he was a great player, but as I've already said, the best players don't have to resort to a Hand Of God to win a Football match. Although controversially I do love how he was so witty to come up with the term "Hand Of God" and I think if some England fans were to look at it objectively and not bitterly, most of them would agree that he was quite clever with that quip.

[bots]

Maradona was the best player. The hand of god incident has nothing to do with his skills as a footballer. How many times have Messi and Ronaldo dived to get a penalty or a free kick. It's not related to their skills as footballers

Big day for Ramsdale who may be willing to move this window ..

That said I’m thinking Liverpool may just take this ..


Should or could be a fabulous game after all that dross of the past week .. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240107/874827fd2c010634cc9a517bfe91a932.jpg

I don't care who wins as long as it's a good game.

Arsenal need to get a goal out of this dominant spell,

Havertz is crap

[Swan]

Arsenal have been as pathetic in front of goal as Chelsea today. Forget the FA cup, Arsenal won't be winning anything this season.

I've said it a few times already this season. Arsenal are trying to be too clever and at the end of the match, they just look stupid

They should give Nketiah a good run of games .. he’s their best scorer but Arteta doesn’t seem convinced


Hopefully they will go in for Toney after 3 consecutive defeats or even Victor Osimhen who’s available but nearer £110 million

When Thierry Henry was a young kid he was being driven home from a match and his dad tore into him ..,

You missed three easy chances , two simple headers , three breakaways came to nothing because of you .. your passing was woeful and you looked lethargic !!


Thierry said “but dad we won 6:0 and I scored all six !! “

Another game with play halted then called off due to a fan in the crowd being taken poorly ..
( Bolton game )

All players taken off the pitch .

Is this a recent development ?!

I can’t really recall it happening years ago

I’m so tired of these stupid late linesmen’s flags for clear offsides !!


City’s keeper just got needlessly clattered and injured !

Well I was hoping for a blood and guts DRAW but I wouldn’t wish an injury on such a wonderful talent ( City keeper)

Another nasty tackle by Guimarães on Kovasic .. it will be interesting to see what a red card tackle looks like

Gordon is another filthy player but one who goes down in a slight breeze

Amazing goal by Bernado Silva with his weaker foot as well !

Gets better with each replay

The irony of Newcastle players and fans complaining of a push on one of their players ..

LOL
