The Football.....

[MarkF]

It'll be good to get back to proper football again.
International games are utter crap at least 99% of the time.

Yep, and I think Qatar will be time international football jumps the shark.

The whole Qatar thing is corporate sport at it's worst. Other than a huge financial rake off for those running (Ruining) the game holding the world cup there has not got a single thing going for it.

Dunno about that - I've heard that diving cheats are going to be stoned. Should help to get rid of the rot at the heart of the game.

They're going to find getting weed a bit tricky...

Some common sense:

Leicester please take note: it is 17.00 BST on the Thursday before the new campaign begins and not 17.00.14

We would not have been scrambling about at the last minute if Chelsea hadn't come in at the last minute to get Drinkwater and pay over the odds because Barkley turned you down . The way clubs do business in the window appears to be chaos . Look at the Sanchez saga Arensal probally going to lose 30 plus million

I disagree. Puts the PL out of sync (even more) with every other league in Europe and England. A sensible approach (for everyone) would be having the summer window open from 1 June to 31 July unless there's a world cup, and for a week in January.

Agree can't buy but players can be sold to clubs abroad

It's funny the way the PL is shafting itself. But when you're operating in a market where Kyle Walker is valued at £50 million what are you supposed to do?

Yes, it is chaotic. Although to be fair the Chelsea/Drinkwater saga was running for a good couple of weeks before the window closed so not a reason why the deadline was missed imo.

Doesn't FIFA stipulate a 12 week transfer window? (Not that that couldn't be changed.)

To be honest I've got no idea! I don't pay a huge amount of attention to windows if I'm honest. The pool of players that Killie chase are generally unattached and can be signed whenever.

I'm just bitter and twisted you've pinched are 2 best midfielders in 12 months

Watched a bit of the Hamilton v Celtic game last night. Lovely to hear the chants of "IRA" before BT turned the crowd noise down a bit.

I thought the high boot was a red card straight away.

Man C v Liverpool.

I would guess Celtic won for once,then?
