The Football.....

[Pro Tour Punditry]

A decent 2-0 home win today for Forfar against Stennie
Hibs drew 1-1 at home to Aberdeen
In the amateur game there was a lack of refs, so we didn't have a game, so I used the time to travel to Hawick to look for a new chair for my dog*

*I bet not many people will be able to say they have done that today; and, no, it's not a euphemism

Is super Baz still doing the business for you?. We were gutted to see him leave

He has been the dogs dangly bits so far

Pish game at Rugby Park yesterday. Not helped by some woeful refereeing. The standard of officials in Scotland is generally dreadful.

Craig Levein is a total dinosaur when it comes to football. Just signs massive guys and hopes the hit and hope approach will work.

Garbage, Bradford 1- 2 Wycombe, going down.

Motherwell v Rangers about to start on BT Sport for those interested to see if the revival continues.

Motherwell haven't started in their usual manner but even in the glory days of the past, they always managed to give Rangers a stern test.

How's Connor Goldson doing for you? A fella i work with remembers him as a young lad at Wolves looked promising although got released.

Haha, would you believe he just slipped letting Motherwell through on goal to open the scoring. Don't ask me about any other players.

Maidenheads first win of the season in front of the BT Sport cameras a hard fought but justified 3-2 win with Maidstone scoring an OG in the 91st minute. Happy days

Looks an improvement on your previous CBs that’s for sure, but like many centre backs, still prone to a gaffe.

Looking forward to 2 September, hoping Celtic finally raise their game - haven’t played well since we beat you 5-0 in all honesty.

 

[Dave7]

I hope so. Having a strong Leeds side back in the Premiership would be fantastic, if only for the away day rucks

Does Billy Bremner still play for them ?

 

[Paulus]

Barnet's first three points on the board at the weekend. The only way is up, can't go down any further

An interesting stat I just read (yes, I know.....but I enjoyed this one.
In 3 matches Man City have had 129 touches in the opposition penalty area.

In 2 matches Utd have had just 25.

Salah on his own has had 30.

Well MOTD lived up to its usual crap reputation lat night.

Having watched Newcastle vs Chelsea live it was one of the most lop-sided Premier League games I have ever seen. Possession 18% vs 82%. 913 passes made with 838 successful. The second highest number of successful passes within a game in PL history

Newcastle basically played very deep in a 1-5-4 which was very well drilled and executed I have to say. However, they foraged forward over the half way line maybe a dozen times in the whole 90+ minutes..

Watching the edited footage you would've thought the game was evenly balanced.

Jeez! I wish there was a decent football magazine show to watch on match day.

Yeah, can't argue with that, other than if it was only that one gaffe you could accept it but that was his worst game since joining and it makes you wonder if he can handle the bigger, stronger front lines.

I'm looking forward to it as well, always do always will. It's the game that takes care of itself and if you can't raise your game for it you shouldn't be there.
