The Rolling Footbal Thread: Season 2026/27

New season, new thread

All things football ⚽

May the best team win @Kirbert2 ....(actually wait, that's probably not what I want)

😂

I absolutely believe that Bradford have a chance, especially if they score first.

Watch it be an incredibly boring 0-0 with both teams playing badly.

I would absolutely take a 0-0 right now. 😂

Me too actually, especially at your place.

Well we went from 3-0 at half time to 4-2

We're going down with the city, down with the city.

I am not enjoying football today. Just glad I’m not feeling too well so I didn’t go to Gayfield as we were 2-0 down by the third minute.

Ah sorry to hear @Tarkan , just when you could with something to make you feel better.

Well done in round 2!

Yes brilliant result. Out of the 2 games I would rather have had this one!

Fucking hell that was grim.

I think it was always going to be tricky after our early goal but to be fair, I think you played well in the first half and we weren't at our best except for our defender scoring. Second half is when everything changed in our favour.

Still a good team overall, the game played today isn't going to define Bradford's season. Maybe get some revenge in January at our place? 😉

Enjoyed the footie today, Spurs finally stringing some wins together and Gillingham beat Shrewsbury 2-1 - first win in 3 for them. Will enjoy both MOTD and EFL show later

Brilliant result for us, thought QPR were going to be tough, instead they kindly just rolled over!

We managed to beat Cambridge again. They don’t like coming to E10. Great to see some of our key players back after long injuries. One of ours hasn’t played for 380 days. Started and got a goal and an assist. I always feel really pleased for players in that situation. It must be so hard being out for that long. You must worry that your career is over.

Gladbach got a point yesterday which was fair enough (didn't go to the match as we were invited out last evening)

Wednesday vs Blackpool today. Apparently we have a new trainer so we'll see if we get the new trainer bounce.

FC Isle of Man lost 7-0 to the mighty Barnoldswick Town. Still in mid-table though.

And breathe...

My heart rate was High in the Vigorous Zone-I feel like I played 😅

There was a lot of rolling around going on.

Great result for us!

Gabriel and MacAllister should both have been sent off for their ridiculous simulation. It’s the only way it will stop.its blatant cheating and its spoiling the game.

Yes, Gabriel was embarrassing and MacAllister was just being MacAllister.

All the referees will have seen what they both did and so they aren't going to believe them when they are actually hurt and I can't blame them.

Not sure why Timber was pulling Isak's shirt in the penalty area and why it wasn't given as a penalty against us.

I am fed up of fouls in the penalty area being ignored which is probably why Timber thought he could get away with it.

There’s no love from me towards Isak anymore but the fact he didn’t even bother to argue for it suggests he knew it was pointless. The fact that all the pundits were critical of that saying he has to make more of it and should be waving his arms in the air etc is just disgraceful. It was a blatant shirt tug in the box which caused Isak to fall short of reaching the ball. If the ref didn’t see it then that’s what VAR is for. Players shouldn’t have to make a meal of it to be seen or heard.

Oh that was pissing me off when they said that. Surely it would just encourage more theatrics if that’s the only way to get a foul awarded at all. And it’s bad enough at times. 🙈
