Other football 2016/17.

[Tony Moanero]

I like Mick McCarthy, always have.

So does Mick McCarthy.

Roys not so Keane.

Mick McCarthy's commentary on the 2010 World Cup was great; I distinctly remember him just shouting "Kick it!" at one point.

I said at the time it would be ligament damage, it was pretty obvious in the way his ankle went on him. They'll miss him big time at the back as he also comes out with the ball setting up their breaks. 

[Ronnie Whelan]

Big blow for Spurs. He's a great player.

 

About Mick McCarthy, I was on a stag in Dublin a few weeks before the 2002 world cup with about 30 other Scouse lads. We saw him at Dublin airport and ended up having a good laugh with him. He was over for some commercial event of some sort, but we asked him if he wanted to come on the ale with us.

 

He told us to meet him at some little bar at about 7 that evening in the city centre and said he'd have a few drinks with us. We never thought he'd show, but he was there and he hit a few bars with us. A proper good fella who paid for drinks for everyone and wouldn't let any of us pay for anything. He even joined us in a rendition of YNWA, though he did sing a bluenose song for the less cultured ones in our group.

 

I always liked him and thought he was a really decent manager at Championship level. Hope he keeps his job down there.

Sure it wasn't the Celtic version of "grand old team?"

[Josef Svejk]

I seem to recall Depay being a better signing than Firmino...

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Cameroon play again tonight after drawing their opening game, hope they get bum fucked.

Disappointed the Merseyside Billionaires didn't blow everyone out of the water and buy him.

Surely they are Billionaires?

 

Edit: Bollocks, did you change that? I'm sure you had put in Millionaires. 

[Guest]

Depay off to Lyon. With a buy-back and sell-on clause.

[Red House]

We should take Lacazette or Fekir off them.

[Red House]

Cameroon 1-0 down to maybe the goal of the tournament so far.

 

Our former reserves right-back, Emmanuel Mendy, playing for Guinea Bissau.

[Redder Lurtz]

Thoroughly enjoying Zola consistently losing games at Birmingham. Fuck them and fuck him.

[manwiththestick]

Aspas has beaten Real Madrid.

[El Rojo]

Aspas has beaten Real Madrid.

 

Judging by the number of goals since he's left us, he's certainly turned a corner.

Better at turning them, than taking them

[Red House]

Sadio puts Senegal in front within 10 mins. They aren't going out anytime soon.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Mane has scored again for Senegal. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Senegal 2-0 up now, we could end up missing him for a longer period than I had hoped for. 

 

Mane's goal was a tap in. Their second goal was a great free kick from Saivet. 

[Red House]

Can see them winning the whole thing. Good side they have with Mane and Keita in front and the likes of Koulibaly, Gueye and Kouyate behind.

That Saivet is playing in the hole behind Diouf, Mane right and Keita left. Didn't Saivet have a short spell at Newcastle? 

[Red House]

Yep, that's him. Was signed last January but barely played for them.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yep, that's him. Was signed last January but barely played for them.

 

He hasn't hit any heights for new club St Etienne either, cracking free kick to score tonight though. 

 

Just checked, he's normally a central defensive midfielder, Senegal are playing him further forward by the looks of it.
