The Rolling Football Thread: season 2024/25

[DuncinToffee]

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

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.”

Mine has been dire for weeks.

Mine's dreadful.

Sounds like 115 charges got all the decisions their way. Again. <Sigh>

And, as if to prove my point, Tosin doesn't get a red for an almost identical foul against Liverpool...

What has really upset me is that Wolves should have got an definite free-kick just outside the MC box just before City snatched the ball away and had the series of corners which lead to the winning goal.

Kavanagh should not be a PL referee. He is so biased.

When the Wolves guy asked him why he had not given the free-kick, Kavanagh looked so guilty. He knew exactly what he was doing.

I don't know if this has been reported much outside of Scotland but that's Caley Thistle gone into administration. 15 points deducted so they're bottom of the league on -3 points. They were the team relegated alongside Arbroath from the Championship last year. I know money has been tight for us too so it is a worry when you see a similar club going through this, not something I would wish on any club.

It has been reported on my twitter timeline because of Duncan Ferguson but I hadn't seen it elsewhere.

Sad news for the club and fans.

That's Big Dunc out now. I wasn't sure if he would be or not because he had been working for free but depends on how long that had been arranged for I guess? Not much info about that has really been put out so hard to know really.

On way to spurs v az alkmaar. Very excited. My first visit to spurs, this season.

Have fun!

enjoy it - i love these European matches. Not that Gladbach have had one in ages and ages.

I was there too, my first time in the new stadium and my 11 year olds first time seeing Spurs live. He was a bit disappointed Son wasn't playing but otherwise really enjoyed the experience and spending my money in the club shop!. Sat in the East Stand, row 7 so had an excellent view. Loved it.

Can't beat a late equaliser, especially when playing shite. Betooooooo

I'm sure Swindon fan's thought the same against Gillingham earlier. 1 minute away from a much needed 3 points and they mess it up at the death

We were on the other end of that today. 2 late goals when we should have been comfortable! 🤦‍♀️

An ex-Arsenal goal and assist for Fulham today.

Sheffield Wednesday won last night, can't believe it!
Gladbach drew 1-1 at Mainz having kindly scored both goals
And Gladbach U23 won 4-2 against Wuppertal. So that was a bonus.

Nice footballing weekend Chez Bref.

There were a lot of late goals yesterday, I just caught the highlights of Preston v Plymouth Argyle, limbs

Predictions for Arsenal v Liverpool?

We need the win but I just can’t see it, a few injuries at the minute so while I’d love it to be 3-0 to Arsenal I’m thinking it’ll be more like 2-0 Liverpool 🫣

Rice to be sent off for looking at the referee in a funny way?

High chance of there being a penalty in this game, most likely rewarded to Liverpool.

I am going for a 1-1 draw, sitting comfortably on the fence

1 nil to the Arsenal, I hope, but not feeling too confident.

I can take a loss most of the time, we are shit after all. But losing to a farce of a decision like that today has really annoyed me (for anyone who watched the West Ham v United game).
I think this is the maddest I've ever been about a VAR decision because it was just ridiculous (and there's been a lot of ridiculous decisions).

Anyway, hoping Arsenal beat the scousers, I'm sending all my raging positive vibes to them and reckon they'll win 3-2 👍🏻

Goal Saka 😃

That was never a penalty Hellohah

Van Dijk should have been sent off before scoring the equaliser.

Apparently knocking someone over with the full force of your arse doesn’t count as a foul… 🤔
