BelfastBloke's Rolling Footie Thread 2013-14 Season

[Pan]

The rolling Football thread for Season '13-14 might as well start off in the traditional way with the same intro as did the original rolling Football thread all those seasons ago. But with the new tradition of leaving the musty changing room of Dadsnet...
We've been top heavy with premiership stuff but it's really for any footie played on the planet and beyond.

1. A thought on the season (Premiership/Championship/Champions? League/FA Cup/League Cup/all leagues world wide.)

ah ha ha ha ha, just seen the red card Pan, at least you don't have to suffer the hair for the last 2 mins

Fellani sent off. Mixed blessing....

Might be better off without him!!

Didn't know there was a thread this season. Brilliant.
Support Sunderland
Not too keen on Newcastle , Leeds or Rangers
My 3 year old DD watches match of the day on a Sunday morning and recognises Sunderland colours
Season awful so far , apart from the derby !

He just can't keep up can he? The litmus test of the difference between 'good Prem team' and champions, screamingly obvious.

Very true Pan.

2-2, could have been worse on a cold tuesday night on Hadrian's Wall.

forget champions league, it's all glamour down here in La Liga 1

Lg 1 is looking good isn;t Paleo? Lots of goals and genuine competition, and even more after those flukey starts at the top dry up.....and the Sky Blues get in amongst the play-off places...

La Liga 1

Hi KDDD.

yes some oaf took it out of Dadsnet. There'll be a FIFA enquiry at the end of the season.

all considered, Coventry are flying this season

Defense shocking again last night.

But otherwise impressed.

Arsenal's trip to Dortmund tonight. Unlikely to be a happy hunting ground, even though we beat Bayern in Germany last year.

Yes, am out with dd far a fair bit this evening, but it'll be nice to exercise my new viewing options later on re red bibs v yellow bibs.
Sorry to hark on Fellani, but had a chat on the phone with fellow Red this morning - we came to exactly the same assessment. IF he's on the team sheet for the Arse game we'll be watching competitive tiddly-winks on Sky channel 101 as an alternative.

I'm working tonight, so recording the whole game to watch. I'll start watching as the match finishes. It's better doing that than watching Sky's highlights programme: - they announce the score before showing the match.

Mind you, the last time I did this, an Arsenal mate was around as I walked out of the meeting venue, and immediately referenced the score.

Successfully watched the whole match without knowing the score.

Dortmund 0-1 Arsenal! So proud of the lads.

Who would have thought - put Stevie Bould as Arsenal assistant manager and the defence becomes brilliant….?

Although Dortmund should have been given a definite pen in injury time.

Good stuff.

I thought, to a degree, BD made it easy for you.For eg they had v little width and payed right into your feet. And didn't think they would/could be beaten......

and there's even a tingle of excitement for Sunday - a bit of competition for a change...

A tingle of excitement Pan ?
I think there may be a bucketful of nerves as well - on both sides
Interesting choice of referee in Michael Oliver though.

is the ref significant?

The refs are always significant aren't they ?

Funny.

Women and Footie! Have come across this from an MN-related source. It's an opportunity for anyone aged under 16yo to be a reporter at the UEFA Womens U-17's Euro champs being held in the Midlands. Stay at a hotel at St Georges Park and do some reporting on the games, equipment supplied.

There is a competition involved, close date this Fri 15th November. It's a chance for any footie-interested young person to exercise their reporting/writing skills and get to see round England's coaching 'hot house'

Here are the details

Pass it onto anyone you know who may have a young one who is a potential Eleanor Oldroyd, or that bloke with the fur-lined sheepskin.

add your own Colemanballs and keep it bumped?
