Weird feelings of football thread

Ray Wilkins spent the last twenty years of his life in Wilpshire and was captain of the Rising Sun’s darts team.

In the early 2000s Rovers went an entire season without being given a penalty.

The only time the Champions League was special was when games were shown live on ITV 1 and commentary was provided by Clive Tyldesley.

The competition lost all meaning when BT Sport took over the rights.

If a match finishes with the floodlights on, you must have them on at the start of the next game even if they're not required.

(Somebody told me that years ago & I believed them!)

Only Rovers are allowed the club badge on corner flags…

Didn't mind the group stages. When they let teams in who weren't champions then it just became a total farce. 

That was the moment when football started on its trajectory towards the boring, uncompetitive shyte we see today.

And ITVs commentary was unbearable at times.

I hate that they let champions league teams filter into the uefa/europa league. 
 

and what even is the conference league. What’s the point of that

Paul Gallagher is still 18 years old and waiting for his chance to break into the Rovers first team.

I totally have this with Jay McEveley. He was on LMA manager 2003 as an OK youngster and I still think he must be a player in his early 20s trying to find his feet somewhere

Hard to believe he is 37 now. He was 17 when he had a stormer of a debut at Old Trafford. It looked like we had a player, but sadly it didn't work out.

LMA Manager though. What a game. I played them all up until 2005. Didn't play the last couple in the series, but spent many hours on the earlier ones.

A Sunderland fanzine once asked for votes on the best players ever to play for the club and the worst players ever to play for the club. Two teams were then compiled based on the votes.

Howard Gayle made both teams

After training, Nathan Blake would drive to Blackpool and rob fruit machines in Coral Island.

[roverandout]

Luca toni signed for rovers every season 

[Mattyblue]

Freddy Adu never actually existed.

[roverandout]

Cherno samba and maxim tsigalko weren't just championship manager legends

[RoverDom]

There always seems to be a 17 year old player called Sessegnon

[Mattyblue]

Why are Rovers pretty much *never* the Friday night Sky game after a decade in this league and there’s one shown pretty much every week? 🤷‍♂️

[Gav]

Venkys are buying Gary Neville's house near Bolton.

[Oldgregg86]

There’s been a muller in every German squad since time began

[Mattyblue]

Why do white Brazilians only ever play in goal?

[SuperBrfc]

Every defender playing in Serie A in the 90s was a world class defender.

glenn keeley was a quiet,gentle person off the field and was an ardent beekeeper who went to mass 3 times on a sunday

Not going away then are they? Bugger! I'll never see us in The EPL again.

Nolberto Solano was a one club man, who spent his entire career at Newcastle.

Also, Laurent Robert had to score a 30 yard screamer every week, or else he wouldn't get paid that week. It worked a treat.
