The All New FOOTY Thread 20/21

[Marco]

Great 2-0 win for Gers, playing nearly 60 mins with 10 men! Overall they were the better team, and I was particularly impressed with the new goalkeeper and Shirley Bassey!

No, seriously, Bassey was great and looks like he could make a significant contribution to the Rangers cause this season. I was rather disappointed in Lyon, and had expected much more from them. They came alive a bit more in the second half, and Triore had a few chances, but never really threatened the Rangers defence. Moussa Dembele should've played from the start!

For me, Nice were a better team, so it'll be interesting to see how Rangers fare against them. However, aside from Kent's sending off, I'd imagine Gerrard will be a happy man

Patryk Klimala, Celtic's goalscorer tonight, looking lean and mean for Celtic...



The boy's put on a LOT of bulk (muscle) since he joined the club, and obviously spent a lot of time in the gym during lockdown!

I predict he'll be a sensation this season, which could mean bad news for Griffiths, if he doesn't get his finger out ... Klimala and Edouard has the potential to be an awesome partnership.

Looks like he needs to give Griffiths some advice on staying fit

[Marco]

Indeed!

When's the last time you had a six-pack like that?

seems kent has got away with his red as it was not a recognised french fa game so no report will be forwarded... lucky boy, i remember a celtic player getting a 2 game suspension into new season for similar

Welcome back to the Premier League Leeds United
I was going to post this in last season's thread, but it has been locked for some reason.
Last This season still hasn't finished.

[Marco]

Lol - it's finished as far as I'm concerned!

Liverpool and Celtic are champs, and the wee diddy teams finished somewhere behind us....

As for Leeds Utd, yeah I totally agree... For them, the title of 'sleeping giant' couldn't be more apt! TBH, I'd love to see the likes of Newcastle Utd and West Ham also realise their 'sleeping giant' status, as they've been cocooned in mediocrity for WAY too long!

Both of them, along with Leeds Utd (when they get settled), challenging at the top of the EPL, and Arsenal (and Man Utd) restored to genuine title contenders again, would make the league even more exciting than it is. But yes, Man Utd vs. Leeds Utd should be a potentially thrilling derby!

Anyway, for us Old Firm fans here, more footy to watch tonight from France

Gers 1-0 up against Nice, and playing well!

Aribo, Edmundson and Defoe [the goalscorer] particularly impressive.

Marco.

[struth]

Good for them. Could win the trophy if it stays that way

[Marco]

I wouldn't be against that for the kudos it would give to Scottish football, friendly tournament or not!

Too many blinkered, uninitiated fools think that the SPL is a 'diddy league', and Scottish football is wrongly laughed at in some quarters - that is until some of them (footballers) with 'big reputations' elsewhere come and try and play there...
