There's no video of them doing this one yet so this will have to suffice.

Total capitulation on a momentous scale last night for Accrington Stanley,losing 6-1 away at horriblehttp://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.u..._after_Accrington_Stanley_s_win_at_Mansfield/Mansfield! http://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2018/08/mansfield-stanley-6/ :thumbsdown:

Never been much of a cup team since you stopped fielding ineligible players.........:whistle:

Bradford's teutonic masterplan to alienate it's remaining fan base coming along nicely, following a 0-2 reverse on Satdi at home v Barnsley utilising an entertaining system that produced, er, no shots on goal, at all..........we topped that last night by exiting the cup v the mighty Macc lads.:okay:

Is watching Barnsley still just like watching Brazil?

I used to have a colleague who was a devoted Tyke and that was his mantra.

Top stuff.

Here's another great, vaguely footy-related tune that's getting a lot of airplay on 6music at the moment - Total Football by Parquet Courts

The significance of the title is spelled out in the final verse - though I have no idea who Tom Brady is:

Swapping parts and roles
Is not acting, but
Rather
Emancipation
From expectation
Collectivism and autonomy
Are not mutually exclusive
Those who find discomfort
In your goals of liberation
Will be issued
No apology
And fark Tom Brady

Wrong kind of football, but it's a good sentiment. Tom Brady is the Patriots QB, a divisive figure amongst fans of the game.

Ah! I see. Is 'total football' also a concept in the NFL then? If it is, they must have borrowed the idea from soccer.

Absolutely no idea. I'd be surprised, given the way the game is played.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. But even with the Tom Brady* reference, they're clearly still talking about proper football - note the Panini stickers in the vid.

Anyway, I just love the idea of Total Football as a metaphor for Marxism... and does that make Johan Cruyff football's Lenin?


*I looked him up. Great QB. Trump supporter. Ugh.

As long as I can remember, back into the 80's, Barnsley have played "good" football, why this should be when Bradford have spent much of that time hoofing to and fro, I have no idea. They are certain to go up, again.

I was leaving off my bike to a mechanic last night to get some work done. He lives down in Larne, so on the way back I popped into the local football ground as there was a junior game on. To give the back story, Larne are a club who dabbled in the top flight of Irish League (Northern Irish Premiership) in the past but for the last decade or so have languished in the Championship (NI 2nd division). Football clubs over here don't benefit from any tv money unlike their Scottish and English counterparts to varying degrees, so therefore most clubs are skint. Larne were in such a bad way that the board decided to randomly contact a businessman who was raised in the town years ago. Kenny Bruce is the multi millionaire owner of property sales company Purple Bricks. Kenny, now living stateside, has subsequently pumped tens of thousands, rumoured more, into the club making them the 'Man City of the Irish League'. So I was just interested to see the new pitch, no longer with the infamous slope, new boardroom, ongoing seating, terracing and grounds work. It is also rumoured they're paying 'full time' wages, outbidding the likes of Linfield (my team) for signings. It'll be interested to see if this ends up going the way of Chelsea/Man City (relatively of course) or more like Gretna.
