Nice. I like that kit.

Best wishes,
Steve

So it's 4th Qualifying Round action day...

The Iron travel to Barnet with their new/old manager and this is just the first step as we begin our journey to win the FA CUP for the first time in our history.

Glued to the radio...

Good luck to Hakan and the lads.

Best wishes,
Steve



shunwick -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (10/20/2018 7:17:17 PM)

OK.

Change of plans. We have decided to concentrate on the league this year.

Best wishes,
Steve



Orm -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (10/20/2018 7:31:30 PM)

Seems like a good plan.

The cup isn't all that important anyway.

A sensible plan by the Braintree management. If you choose to go for the Cup by the time you hit the bigger clubs in February/March time, you will find this detracts from the promotion push. As you sit a top the league steering your path to the Championship you really don't want a push for the double to make you veer off course through a too-many-game-induced tiredness.

Spurs are taking a leaf out of Braintree's book too. We are going to exit the Carabao, the Champions League (we'll finish 4th and miss Europa) and the FA Cup at the earliest opportunity in order to concentrate on avoiding relegation - just as the new stadium (still unopened in May 2019) is overcome by a plague of locusts.



warspite1 -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (10/24/2018 5:56:47 PM)

Referee looks decidedly suspect. Perfectly good goal from Sanchez disallowed [:(]

Poch needs to haul Dembele off - not because we have anyone as good, but because we'll be playing with 10 men if he doesn't.

I hate football. 45 mins to either keep our CL hopes alive (even if only just) or probably finish 4th and not even make the EL.....




loki100 -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (10/24/2018 6:44:01 PM)

have I mentioned having a deep and fundamental hatred of football ...



warspite1 -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (10/24/2018 7:24:24 PM)

It's just ridiculous. We can't see a game out because our defence is toilet. So with that in mind why do we go one-goal ahead and then muck around? Manchester City will take us apart on Monday - 0-5 is highly likely.



shunwick -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (10/28/2018 5:25:39 PM)

Football is such a great game...

Saturday was a sad day. As a football fan my thoughts go to the friends and family of those that died at Leicester.

Also wishing Glenn Hoddle all the best. Stay strong Glenn and keep fighting. You were a wizard on the pitch, let's hope the doctors can weave a little magic of their own.

As Alan Partridge would say "Eat my goal!" [:)]

The goal vs Forest in 79 remains my favourite [&o][&o] but the goal vs United was a tad tasty too [&o]... as were the 18 others. He didn't believe in tap ins [:)] There's even a header too!!!! [X(]

Meanwhile in Spain... historical day:

Barcelona 5 - Real Madrid 1

Cutting heads in Madrid very soon.

No problem, the excutioner and his axe have just fixed the problem errr no.

Real Madrid enjoyed a nice cycle. It's over. And over means over... until they ride the next wave (this decade or the next one). The same old and boring story since football is football.

Football is a wonderful sport. Sometimes a few seconds remains of a game and a single kick can determine if the evening ends in total depression or complete euphoria. And if the events, or goals, had been in the reverse order the feelings would have been reversed as well.

The match ended 1-1, with the last goal in the last overtime minute on a free kick.

Orm -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (10/29/2018 8:44:40 PM)

And there is still a decent chance to get the title this season. 4 points ahead with 3 matches remaining.

Bloody hell. Two wins on the trot...

Life is good in Braintree... [:)]

Thank you.

Tomorrow is the day when all is decided. Two points ahead and great goal difference. So a draw is enough to win the tittle.

What has me somewhat concerned is that not to long ago we were 8 points ahead. Things have been tough lately...

I think a pot of tea is in order. Congratulations to AIK Champions of Sweden.

Orm -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (11/14/2018 2:44:35 PM)

Thank you. You are all invited for some celebration tea.



Orm -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (11/16/2018 3:24:17 PM)

Still smiling, and thinking that football is a wonderful sport. [:)]

I have a hard time realizing that this is the 4th time that I have had the opportunity to see my team become the Swedish Champions. In my youth I, at times, doubted that it would ever happen. There was a way to long gap between the wins in 37 and 92. Although winning the Cup was some comfort.

Anyway. Cheers. And I do hope that you all enjoy some nice football in the near future.

The UEFA Nations League begins this week. It is an interesting idea by UEFA to try and make friendlies less meaningless. I hope it proves a good idea.
warspite1

......and what a thoroughly good idea it turned out to be [;)]

Great first half - should have been 2-0 up at least. Then second half was typical England - but no! We grew a set and came back at the Croatians.

See you in Portugal VP [:)]



Piteas -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (11/19/2018 3:04:06 PM)

Nations League... Bah [:@] (spanish anger)


Good Luck in Portugal for England, Switzerland, Portugal and Nederland?

VPaulus -> RE: All things Football (soccer) related (11/19/2018 3:08:55 PM)

Yesterday's game Switzerland vs Belgium was really a good game.
A lot of surprises. So yeah, maybe Nederlands will also be qualified for the final four.
