Football fixed

redmgar

If football was fixed like wrestling, what storylines would you like to see develop.

Perhaps in a title decider between utd and Liverpool, Klopp turns bad at halftime and joins utd as assistant. Then Gerrard who is in the stands run down to the bench for Liverpool.

If it was fixed, I wouldn't watch it.

Way to get into the spirit of things :pac:


Definitely a splitting up into factions anyway - Man City and Chelsea as the two rich leaders buying off the other clubs with money, loan deals VAR decisions etc. Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal etc on one side, Chelsea, Man Utd, Everton on the other, splitting up the league.

Maybe some surprise jump-ins, like De Bruyne being allowed to join Liverpool at half-time in an emergency loan move in a match against Man Utd - when Big Dunc as visiting assistant coach suddenly strips off his bulging white shirt to reveal a Utd jersey underneath, coming on to smash poor auld Kev. Leaves the stadium in handcuffs in fits of maniacal laughter. Joel Glazer watches on with Roman, sharing an evil smile.

Everton winning a game comfortably for once would be a nice story

The ref getting knocked out and a late equaliser not counting.

Only showing up once every year or so, to play a crucial match!

• Spurs sign talented foreign striker.
• Then Levy's wife has an affair with said striker.
• Spurs get to the cup final, and manage to win with a last minute goal.
• But Levy knows about the affair and hires an assassin to shoot said striker at Wembley.
• Assassin misses striker and kills beloved defender/captain.
• Eventually, Levy flees to Brazil to avoid serving jail time.
• Then a bunch of stuff with plane crashes and ghosts and stuff.
• Then people stop watching.

And yeah yeah, "only way Spurs could win a trophy is if it was fiction" jokes can feck off.

Superstar signings (Mbappé, Haaland etc.) to announce their moves suddenly by arriving onto the pitch like this as a substitute:

Kane missing an injury time peno against arsenal only to reveal an arsenal jersey and all the arsenal players high five him.

Subs being announced by their theme music kicking in is such a brilliant and terrible idea! They should have to sprint from the tunnel onto the field and tag out whoever they're replacing.

Stephen Kenny has been purposely telling Ireland to play poorly in order to play the ultimate mind game with the Portuguese. We arrive in Lisbon and play samba football like 1970s Brazil. We scuttle the Portuguese 4-0, Ronaldo declares for Ireland, signs for Shamrock Rovers, and goes on to unite the North and South

Salah v sterling in a one on one next goal wins for the premier League with De gea in goals

Florentino Perez turns up at the Carabao Cup final with Daniel Levy and Sheikh Mansoor. Says the Super League is happening. They sign a contract on the pitch and then YNWA hits, King Kenny arrives to save the day. But No. He signs too.

Bag Pipe Music hits. Its Alex Ferguson and he's got the hairdryer...... hits them over the head with the hair dryer and kicks a boot at King Kenny.

Wrestling is unrealistic, but it's not that unrealistic!

Leeds beating Man City with 10 men is like the 123 Kid beating Razor Ramon!

Vince McMahon could only dream of being villainous as Perez.

Unsurprisingly American sport already has something like that. Baseball has 'walk up music' which is a track chosen by the hitter (the guy with the bat who tries to hit the ball) that is played as he comes to the mound .


NBA also has certain tracks that play when a player checks in although it tends to be limited to players who are cult heroes most of the time.



It's in the NFL too.

I particularly like this one

Three Everton fans win the ownership of the club in a raffle
When the then owner of Harchester United decided the pressure of owning a Premier League club was too much, he did the only logical thing someone in that position would do, and gave the club away in a raffle.

The club was supposed to be given to a lucky Dragons fan, however, three Everton fans, who lived in a caravan, were, lets just say, occupying seats they were not supposed to, and thus won the club
