The Rolling Football Thread, season 2023-24

[DuncinToffee]

Football fans join in to share the joy, the heartache and VAR frustration ⚽

The thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.

I don’t mind admitting I’m in tears right now. I don’t care who you support - there can’t be anyone who begrudges Luis Diaz that goal. “Libertad para Papa” - hopes and prayers, Lucho.

Indeed, a very emotional goal ❤

Romero gets away with that?! FFS.

Tell me again there's nothing corrupt going on...

So that should be two reds just for Romero!

But it's all fiiiiine...

From twitter;

Now we know what Tottenham spent the Harry Kane money on

Oh here we go.....🙄

Correct decision to send him off though.

Udogie should have seen red as well.

Maddison and vd Ven off injured now

It's not a good match for FPL

It's absolute carnage, don't think I can do another 45.

Don't like the look of the injury to Van De Ven

Oh dear. Bad Dogie.

FFS he didn't even need to make that tackle!!!

I just don't get why he would when on a yellow.

WTF was VAR doing there? Why didn't they draw the fucking line straight away?

You would think Nike or Budweiser would be paying Sky a ton of cash for the right to advertise on the VAR check screen given how much time viewers spend staring at it

Credit to Spurs...until now they looked like could get something from this game..got lucky they lost their heads a little..against City I can't see us getting anywhere near them

VAR..enough said. Bonkers tonight

No more Invincibles this season then...

I still don't understand why Sp*rs would continue playing a high line, against a team with some very fast players, when they're down to 9 men.

I guess it's an Australian thing...

Thanks @LetsGoFlyAKiteee Spurs let themselves down with ill discipline and silly fouls. That aside massive credit to the players that remained on the pitch and those that were subbed, high line with 9 men proved costly but Chelsea never looked comfortable till the 3rd goal. However they got the 3 points and maybe able to build on it. Hopefully Maddison's injury isn't too severe, VDV will be a big miss.

To be fair..they couldve made it 2-2 and nearly did! Against a team of players with better scorers been a disaster..unfortunately we like not scoring easily.
Did think one point it was going to end in a draw but hurrah got there in the end!

Ooh, car crash interview from Postecoglu there!

Absolute mare FPL wise this week. 39 points and I think that’s a bumper haul!

We’re in Dortmund tonight. I can’t believe how early the bars have closed! Lots of good spirited chanting and fun in Markt Square though.

Just like the Arteta interview Saturday then....

And its spelt PostecogLOU btw

Enjoy Dortmund Eddie.

Dortmund is a bit of a weird town - Düsseldorf would have been a better bet but you don't get the BVB fans there.

Have you been to the football museum? that's a lot of fun (you can vote on the 1966 goal...) and if you go in a football shirt, everyone will talk to you and be hugely knowledgeable about the entirety of English football. (opposite the main station)
