Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

[Brett Angell Delight]

Only match I ever went to at Wembley was the Rotherham v Orient playoff final in 2015 (I think). I was in with the Rotherham fans who were sound. Orient fans were feral, East London hooligans so I wish them nothing but horrors beyond human imagining.

Espanyol vs Barcelona 8pm tonight on ITV4 (freeview channel 26).

Interesting match because Espanyol used to be homed in the Olympic stadium, but moved to bespoke RCD Espanyol stadium in 2009. Whilst the camp nou is expanded and upgraded Barcelona have played in the Olympic stadium this season.

Loved that Olympics, everything about it, Freddie and Caballé, Christie and Gunnell, Boardman, Redgrave and Pinsent. 33 years ago. Ouch!

Yesterday's playoff wasn't too bad, but this Wycombe/Charlton one is proper Sunday league stuff

To illustrate the over-the-hillness of the Saudi league, Odion Ighalo and Aubameyang scored in the same game today

 

[Rita_Poon]

game stopped. Mither in stand behind goal?

consulting coppers here...

 

[tsubaki]

that is a disgrace of a free header for Charlton there

 

[Rita_Poon]

game back on, comms suggest we're waiting for a stadium announcement.

 

[Rita_Poon]

sounds like it was a car accident outside the stadium that caused the game stoppage. I hope it is an accident and not something more calculated.

Nice. However, that is just the second time I have come across the word Tifo, both times today. Who thinks these words up

Ditto, never heard of it before.

Tifosi is the Italian word for fans, I guess the contraction and use of tifo comes from that.

This league 1 play off semi final would be much better viewing on teletext.
