Fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 5 hours ago, Ani said: The Jock play off game was crazy. Ross County three down on aggregate, Partick penalty claim, not given, VAR says take another look, ref does- still not given ! Ross County score 2 in a minute, first a handball penalty given via VAR. Ross County man sent off, then allowed to stay on after VAR. 3-2 after 90 minutes, 10 minutes extra time, Ross County equalise . Pens, Ross County near to score to win- misses - Partick miss then Ross score It was pub football, awful standard. I enjoyed it. Standard wasn't great - L2? I say that as RC had Dhanda who Evatt was after last year. But Partick gave it away and I bet Nixon is gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted June 5, 2023 Members Share Posted June 5, 2023 Unsurprisingly, I watched the last Serie A games - particularly Roma v Spezia, Udinese v Juventus, Milan v Verona and Atalanta v Monza. Compelling stuff in the Euro qualifying and relegation stakes. More bastardry from Roma! Our punters club had a $5.00 treble with Ladbrokes on Roma x Atalanta x Juventus so that was a nice collect. The Verona game was different. Napoli fans hate Verona with a vengeance so the missus and I really wanted to see them relegated. Hopefully Spezia send them down in the relegation playoff next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted June 7, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2023 Not sure if it’s been picked up on post the cup final and prior to Champions League Final - but how good has John Stones been this season in this hybrid CB/Midfield position he’s adopted? From that Twitter link there’s a good video (if you can ignore the annoying voice) which demonstrates how valuable he’s been to City’s success. A very talented Englishman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
