The Rolling Footbal Thread: Season 2026/27

New season, new thread

All things football ⚽

I'm assuming it's something he's discussed with the people appointing him so I guess they must be satisfied he can make it work.
We had Martin Drury in 2018(?) and it didn't go well at all so I was surprised you went for him, but it seems he's learnt his lessons from that time. It looks like you'll be up there.

I really hope so. I want that Bradford vs Huddersfield play off final I didn't get last season because Town were shit. 😂

Hello all!!

So happy to have the PL back although wasn't good for my blood pressure.

Shocking first half and credit to Leeds.

The subs changed the game-that Bruno goal was a thing of beauty. (sorry @BigDanBurnHesFromBlyth )

Saw someone say on twitter that this is why you buy someone ready to win when you need to win.

Smokie pie time! And don’t be fooled by the sun. There’s a cold wind today and I’m fully expecting any ball kicked too high to come flying towards me today. 🙈🤣

Oh and @Tollington awful news about the fire-no idea where DS and his mates will end up!!

FFS down a man (and a goal from penalty) already. DH said before we left that this should be an easy 3 points for us and I told him not to curse it. Very much blaming him for this now. 🙈

Meh. He’s dead to me. I wish nothing but mediocre things for him in his future.

😂footbal is back

10 v 10 now and we’re not even half an hour in. 🙈

This has properly made me howl.
I get it.
There are some that are dead to me forever.
it won’t happen again 🫣

Tell him we all blame him as well

We’ve got a medical emergency in the crowd now so the match has been paused. They rushed the defib over so quickly too.

Horrible when that happens. Hope the person is ok.

after a frustrating first half where we missed several sitters we have actually scored!!!!!

He’s just been stretchered away to the ambulance now so hopefully ok after being checked out. 🤞🤞🤞

So still hasn’t resumed and they’re in calls with the SFA. Some of the players saw the man collapse and are apparently quite shaken up by it. So not sure if the game is continuing or not.

Players are out warming up again. Game is resuming at half past.

Hopefully that means it’s good news for the fan

He seemed alert when he was taken away so yeah hope he’s all good.

That’s us just at half time now after the delay. They’re doing a shorter break since we hadn’t long restarted at least.

Jesus Christ. There you go Sheffield Wednesday, have a free point.

Based on the 5 Live commentary Spurs are yet again doing their best to avoid scoring despite mostly dominating the first half. Man U fans should now be quietly confident of winning at least 2-0 when our inevitable running out of steam occurs 🙈

Match finished with a 2-1 loss for us. I’ll update if I hear anything about the fan. Had a really awful ref too but we also got a corner because of the away goalie taking too long for a goal kick. First time we’ve seen that in person.

i'll take that, very generous of you😀

We're away so currently watching the ManU v Spurs match on my iPad mini which is a challenge. Agree that Spurs have done everything but score.

Re Bruno G, unlike BigDanBurn he's not yet dead to me (unlike Izak), but he will be if he scores against us (ever).

It's why we won't get promoted. We just love to throw points away like that.

Aaand here we go, Man U have scored when we should have been at least 2-0 up in the first half. I don’t think I can recall a Spurs team so utterly inept at finding the net in my lifetime.
