Footie season 2019/2020

Well that’s what you get for playing an untested team... Crawley Town (who?) 1 - Norwich City 0.

Crawley Town are specialist giant killers.
I can't remember how many seasons ago (it's not many) they got through as far as playing the other team with Manchester in its name, at The Swamp (so called after Shrek, who used to live there).
They gave Ordsall Rovers a fair run for the money.

Your manager didn't want the inconvenience or the hassle of playing unwanted additional games when the focus is to stay in the Premier League.
I can't say as I blame him.
Liverpool went out of both domestic cups last season in the first game.
They were focused on trying to win the Premier League, only they didn't pull it off.
You have to balance the approach, and try to win everything

Breaking news - Bury have been expelled from the EFL.
Bolton Wanderers have 14 days to sort things out, or they're also going to be expelled.

It's a sad day

Sad but alas probably had to happen

[Stratmangler]

Bolton have been bought
Bury was a mess financially, and the prospective buyers found more and more skeletons in the closet each day

Unfortunately I've not had time as I'd hoped, with various things going on, to contribute to this thread,, but just to say I'm pleased that fans of teams other than Celtic and Rangers are discussing their clubs fortunes, or otherwise, so long may that continue, as despite appearances sometimes, this isn't just an SPL thread!

That said, good luck to both of the Glasgow teams tonight in their respective games in Europe. It won't be easy, but I'm confident that both will go through and reach the group stages of the Europa League, setting up a potentially mouth-watering tie on Sunday at Ibrox!

As an aside, this is an interesting loan signing for us: https://tbrfootball.com/stoke-fans-r...ine-at-celtic/

Does anyone who follows English football know much about him?

he did well at Ruben in Russia, but didnt seem to click at Stoke. think he was oiriginally with Grasshoppers, so a good pedigree. Could be a good player; guess it depends if he is up for the rough and tumble of the SPL and the pressure of winning every game.

Hopefully good results tonight

I haven't seen Stoke playing since they dropped out of the EPL, so no idea about your loanee.

1-4 away from home, and 6-1 on agg, that'll do!!

Now, one of the rare times I'll be saying this.... COME ON THE GERS!

Terrible finishing tbh. You've gotta score when on top. We will pay for this
