3-0 now. Wow

ShamoBuc · 04-10-2023 9:16pm

PSG are all over the shop. Great to see them being stuffed.

sligeach · 04-10-2023 9:16pm

Everything is going Newcastle's way. More good fortune for their 3rd goal, Donnarumma should have saved that shot.

That PSG goal looks just offside. It was a nice move. It's been given.

gormdubhgorm · 04-10-2023 9:21pm

That Hernandez fella always seems to have a goal in him, for a full back

The high detailed graphic yoke looked close, but correct decision.

Gordon booked for winning the ball.

The intensity of Newcastle there was incredible ran PSG into the ground and with 2 local lads scoring fairytale stuff.

Yep if Newcastle win their 2 remaining home games it should see them through.

NIMAN · 04-10-2023 10:36pm

I think we are seeing the dying embers of PSG as a big club.

Experiment over, with no CL to show for it.

There's not a hope football will end segregation of fans in stadiums, it would be a nightmare. I work in London quite a lot so I use my free time over there to get in any game I can if I can get tickets and have free time on the weekend. Most games in London, the fans are segregated in certain areas actually just getting to the stadium, never mind once they're in it. For whatever reason there's still a nasty, almost deranged attitude among a certain element of football fans. I remember going to an FA cup game between Spurs and Palace a few year back and the seat I had was right at the division between the 2 sets up fans. For 90 mins it was just fans roaring abuse back and forth to each other across the divide, I would say they watched about 10 minutes max of the actual football. It's only a small minority these days, but every club has that element and brain-dead wouldn't even begin to describe these folk!

The Golden Miller · 05-10-2023 5:10pm

Celtic continue their usual form of putting in a gallant effort in Europe, and coming away with nothing to show for it. Nothing seems to go for them in Europe the last few years, although obviously lack that bit of quality, but still.

Be great to see them progress, and see the Irish people row in behind them. Everyone complains about them now and tries to put them down, but when they get to the business end of Europe, the mask slips and people turn to them, in a way you don't get with any English club, more akin to the national team in a world cup.

I remember their UEFA Cup run in 2003, and the whole country was engrossed. But the best example was when Nakumura scored that free kick against United in Old Trafford.

Was in the pub and everyone in their United jerseys. Celtic threw everything at them, put in a huge effort, and as the game wore on, lads in United jerseys secretly hoping for Celtic to do it, you could feel it. When Nakumura scored that free kick, the place exploded, lads in United jerseys couldn't contain their joy.

People put them down as a "British club" who play in a crap league, makes them feel better about not following them, and trying to break this connection to Ireland. But when Celtic rally, the pull is too strong to ignore. We need one of those seasons where the country rows in behind Celtic, nothing like it!

When the chips are down, everyone is a Celtic fan, and will turn to Celtic over their own premier league team, if they met in the knock out stages of Europe!

I have to say, love what Milan are doing, 6 0-0 draws might see them through, hopefully they go for the win against PSG who are there for the taking.

Their biggest fault last year, was their youth and coming onto Inter, even did it this year in the league, Inter out Milaned Milan. That's the last time they fall for that, or so I hear from my mates in Milan, the word is they'll come out of their box for no one, going to play a harder grind than last year.

Normally you'd think no one should be behind should a negative team, but with the corruption happening and big bankers, everyone should be behind the Milan hard grind.

They'll struggle to get out of the group with their philosophy, but if they make it, everyone is getting suffocated.

In a way it's a shame, a club like Milan are forced to such lows, but ironically, forcing them down to these lows plays into their ideology. Everyone has them written off again, they'll be there or there abouts

ah in fairness, you made it immensely clear at the time that this was a statement you were making out of your pure belief in Milan. You weren't asking for a counter bet, you were just making big grand declarations and adding stakes to them for yourself.

I doubt anyone really cares about whether you honor it or not, it's a daft thing to be posting regardless what way it turned out, but ya may as well at least own it.

They have been the better side but they're learning a painful lesson that you must take your chances at this level or you'll be punished. It has to be said that Manchester United have been very poor again tonight they're limping by poor side this last couple of weeks the next halfway decent team they play will beat them.

sligeach · 24-10-2023 9:58pm

Ridiculous. United have jammed yet another result at the end. Larrson shouldn't have been taking that penalty, but then who had they left to take it. He had a long wait and is so inexperienced.

United must be so proud of beating Copenhagen by the slenderest of margins. Yet again, they scrape by a team that was knackered at the end and on paper they should be hammering. Beat bottom of the table, 1 point Sheffield United at the weekend, thanks to a wonder strike from a defender.

Exciting times at Man United, coupled with controversial wins against lowly Wolves and Nottingham Forest. Man City must be quaking in their boots for the match this weekend. 😂

A turning point for their keeper and maybe Ajax might get some more money in Jan from Utd assuming Ajax are not in the relegation zone:)

Fitz* · 24-10-2023 10:15pm

Jude Bellingham has had an absolutely unreal goalscoring start to his Real Madrid career. Whatever about a forward having the record he does, a midfielder doing it is top class.

He's been absolutely incredible a real joy to watch but he's playing more as a 10 than a midfielder tbf.

Get in the bin with that attitude. Irish club football needs support, and RTE showing more matches than usual can only help grow the game here. There is good footballers in the Irish game, and there are good matches, and great atmospheres too.

I know some great guys involved in the league and the amount of work they put it deserves some success, whatever their goals are beit silverware, survival, promotion or even qualifying for Europe. Speaking of which....

I would tell a funny story involving your own name's club in Europe a few years ago but I don't think your post deserves it.
