Today’s Football 25/26 Season

Senegal stripped of the AFCON

Wouldn’t surprise me if some sort of bribery has gone on there

On one hand if a team walks off the field and delays taking a penalty for 20 minutes because they didn’t like the decision that should be punished. The ref on the night should have called the match because Senegal refused to play.

On the other once the match is played and the decision made by the match officials the result should be the result. A case of two wrongs don’t make a right for me.

Lads, it's Africa.

Didn't they cancel the women's Afcon a week before it was due to kick off?

A continent with great people that, sadly, cannot be taken remotely seriously at an administrative level. Then again, looking at North America...

Illy and idrissa can’t find their medals to hand back, what a shame.

Complete corrupt farce.

Senegalese lads casually wearing medals in post game interviews this weekend.

As @Nymzee mentioned the whole tournament whilst entertaining was a bit of a joke at times.

Scotland won't. They'll go to every tournament they can.

On form as usual Alsie x

If Arsenal ease past Sporting then they’ll have a good shot at making the final given it’ll be one of Barca, Newcastle or Atletico in their way in the semis

As for the other side of the draw, I can foresee another hiding if the RS scrape by Gala tomorrow, especially if PSG again call off league games to stay fresh which would set the holders up for one of Real or Bayern in the semis

 

[Neiler]

Africa (CAF) gone bat sh1t crazy I see.

Tranmere....this the season they're dropping...shambolic.

 

[ChesterBlue]

CAF really isn’t helping the AFCON not look like a joke.

Morocco behaved awfully in that final and the ref was as biased as you’ll see in their favour - they deserved to lose and the rule CAF has stated is utter bs given the ref restarted the game after the penalty and CAF officials literally gave Senegal the title

They usually are, always found them a strange club tbh, its like they are designed to fail, they are always going to be a small time nothing outfit although that Palios does seem a bit of a clown (certainly was during his FA days)

I imagine Senegal will appeal.

Ridiculous.

Once they went off the pitch, officials should have been checking the rules. Once they allowed the game to go on it needs to stand.

Senegal might as well appeal to get their disallowed goal awarded.

You mean like some underhand and off the books payment that will be revealed in about 10 years time?

That’s real tinfoil helmet territory…

Not sure they can as they forfeited the match.
