Wayne Rooney takes charge of Plymouth today , wonder how that will go

Lock up your grannies

Fat Rooney has picked up where he left off with Brum

Sheff Wed 4-0 Plymouth

Very bad start for them .....is he the davy fitz of British football now ?

I have to go now to the championship thread and report on monaghans management issues

I see Arsenal were lucky to hold on to Trossard up to the transfer window closing...Saudi were pushing hard with big money ....is it the case that top tier players at the big clubs will be pryed away now as it seems these Saudi bucks have no end of money

Business as usual for United.

A hopelessly inept club

Liverpool are just far better than United now with a man in charge only three games .....United could sink like a stone this year

Slot looks much more pragmatic than Klopp. I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned out to be better than him.

It's very early days but that's the feeling I'm getting too. Slot's team is not as exciting as Klopp's but they played some lovely football against United, and as much as I love Klopp's style, I'm grateful for the lack of stress so far in Slot's opening games compared to the heart attack drama of Klopp.

Something must be done ~ ~ But this ? !

Dutch considering getting rid of offside law

Netherlands football is considering doing away with the offside law in its amateur ranks to decrease the rising number of matches halted because of aggression over disputed decisions.

Ireland are 11/2 to defeat England in Saturday is there any realistic chance of this happening , they should really go for this one

 

[clarke-connolly]

In fairness there does need to be some tweaks done to soccer to make it more watchable ~ ~ This, Pep Guardiola / Man City, Total Procession is very hard to watch.

Arsene Wenger wants to trail where there has to be clear daylight between the attacker and defender = = This could certainly lead to more, through balls / over the top balls.

Something must be done to make soccer more watchable i.e. More risky passing / more having a go / more taking a risk with passes ! ! !

Something must be done !

We want it back like when John Aldridge showed the Maltese who was boss

No realistic chance. We may be out-classed.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Rice and Grealish will get shit from the crowd should they play. Possibly Carsley too.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Is anyone interested in the Irish team anymore? I'd struggle to name more than 2 or 3 of the starting squad.

It is potentially a reboot with this icelandic man , this guy will surely install a very different ethos than under Stephen Kenny ......the most useless manager we ever had , worse than stan Staunton

San marino got their first ever competitive win last night with 1-0 victory over Luxembourg last night ( Stephen Kenny got us best to Luxembourg , our worst ever result)

You might want to double check that result

My mistake it was Liechtenstein

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

We don't have the layers, though. Are there any playing for a top ten side in the Premier League?

That is correct and it is a problem , they have to play themselves into contention , and guys get loaned a lot these days ........this Icelandic dude surely considered this but still sees the bones of a side ........they could do absolutely nothing under Stephen Kenny ......even John O'shea lifted things a bit against Hungary pre the euros

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

We have literally no quality players and haven't had in years.

Imagine if Rice & Grealish were on the end of our chances created tonight. We'd have scored 2 or 3.

Instead of pumping money into the grassroots and unearthing a couple of gems, John Delaney and the corrupt FAI have fukked it all up for a generation.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

It was a bit of a horror show all right they had 550 passes to our 140 I believe

What if we counted Grealish's and Rice's passes as ours ? !

Two nil defeat at home to Greece last night this man should be sacked quickly , it's not going to work ........the FAI should have just appointed @clarke-connolly nobody else can fix this now

There is nothing wrong with this Irish team that the addition of Gareth Bale / Messi / Ronaldo ( in their primes ) and Declan Rice and Jack Grealish wouldn't fix ! ! ! ! !

Hopefully they replace him with Southgate. Another manager destined for abject failure.

If Ten Hags can't do a job ~ ~ Maybe it's a good idea to give that job a miss !

The sporting Lisbon dude should not accept the man United job , he should wait until a better club becomes available to swoop
