I haven't seen a thread on this match yet, but I was lucky enough to go the Camp Nou on Saturday and saw some amazing goals. Messi showed off his Balon D'Or and then was absolutely amazing - something else to see him in the flesh! Check out these goals - Messi's sublime hat-trick but Barca's...
Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy has confirmed that Shane Duffy will start their Euro 2020 qualifier against Georgia in Tbilisi on Saturday.
The Brighton centre-half was a major doubt for the game with a calf strain, but has won his race to be fit.
"He's fine, but I wouldn't let him...
After a long period of league games broken up by cup games, postponements and the international break, we've now got a run of five in quick succession..
Saturday Bournemouth
Tuesday Cardiff
Saturday Wolves
Tuesday Spurs
Saturday Newcastle
After last Saturdays efforts, and the cup no longer a...
First Half : Wrestles Shane Duffy to the floor - no penalty
Second Half : Flattens Glenn Murray - no foul, Millwall score 1-0
Penalty-shoot-out, Blasts his penalty miles over the bar :lolol:
KARMA
Apparently we've won 8 of our last 9 penalty shootouts...
I remember today, obs, Man City at Withdean, Swindon in the play-offs, and back in the mists of time, Fulham in the auto-windscreens at the Goldstone about 96.
What are the other 5, I'm a complete blank.
A lot of different permutations for this one... Palace getting through means their game at spurs on March 16 is postponed, which thus makes our game on April 6 Spurs' next home game, and potentially their first game at the new White Hart Lane. However April 6 is FA Cup semi final weekend, so if...
Twice Burnley did it today, going down in the box when we were on the attack with a 'head injury' so the referee has no choice but to stop the game. First time the ball had hit McNeil's chest/arm, second time it was Mee or Hendricks who had headed the ball clear himself. This is a 'thing' now...
Random, but hey, my cars in the garage and can't get there in time by train, so if my fellow Cornish gulls would like two tics (1 junior) for free, just let me know :)
Davy is biting into tackles, and showing a range of tricks and skills. Dale is passing the ball forward at almost every opportunity, playing a range of worldly passes. Where has this been?!!
Thats two awesome games now, Arsenal and Everton. I mean we always knew they were good, and if you...
That kind of forward drive is exactly what we are waiting for and the next step for this team. I think Chris knows this and is bedding them slowly, but it is very exciting.
Together with Stephens, excellent on his return, Bernardo - who looks so confident, and March who is growing game by game...
You know, we pack the defence, score on the break, hold out for a famous 1-0 win against one of the big boys. Or even come close to that? Surely one of these days we'll score first in a game like this, or keep a 0-0 into the closing stages.

This doesn't feel right...
Sorry for slating you, because you worked hard last year, because I hate having a scapegoat, and hate criticizing Brighton players. But I struggle to see what Propper is bringing to the table right now.
After 30 minutes of a difficult first half, with Stephens and Bissouma all over the place...
We have two sides to our game that we show in every match - passive, defensive Albion with everyone dropping deep behind the ball, and attacking, exciting Brighton, playing 4-2-4 with waves of compelling attacks. Can we find the right balance of the two ?!
Not to bring in a single new signing today other than Montoya, even to bring in Bong for Bernardo and otherwise stick entirely to the Watford team - to last years team... well I wouldn't have done that, I'm sure not many of us on here would have done that. That took balls, to say that you guys...
Its obvious we needed a wake-up call and we have got one at the earliest opportunity.
The entire build-up among all of us, fans, club alike, has been one of over-confidence bordering on complacency. The selection and performance today was absolute continuation of that.
A rude awakening - act...
