Amazing tonight. Rollercoaster stuff. What all the hard games have been for. Hopefully we can kick coronavirus in the nuts and have a proper party

The NHS or any other health care system can never be ready to have the rate of admissions that a full blow covid epidemic would bring. Even if it did we would have thousands of empty beds, ventilators and sitting for years unused. It's just not practical

Youth Cup Final

Was a good game to watch. Bit different from normal games -

That's appalling, think I would be at that with a Stanley knife -
At some point someone is going to realise that football only has the money it has because of the magic for the fans. If they kill the magic the money is going to go away. That applies to international football and also teams throwing cup matches in an effort to come 6th in a league. Fans remember a cup final not the time the corporation made 20% more profit. Football is eating itself.

If it gets to the point when someone is making their international debut and instead of feeling on top of the world they are wishing they tried a bit harder then somethings gone wrong.

I understand where you are coming from but we will just have to disagree on it. My thoughts are if he wants to play for Brazil but ends up not being good enough then tough. 99.9% of the world won't get to play for Brazil either and Venezuela shouldn't be treated as a B Team.

The Brexit Thread
Mee replied to Flure's topic in Anything Goes - Other topics not covered elsewhere
Who would have thought loads of investment in the powerhouse of the north might suck jobs from other areas. I'm shocked. I've heard of other firms with plans to move to Manchester too. Must be some sort of tax rebate or something that is making these types of moves worthwhile. On the face of it they are moving jobs to a more expensive city -
People have ties to more counties now than in the past so this is going to become more of an issue. With dembele I think he is eligible to play for 3 countries. If he chooses to play for England fair enough and good luck to him. If he is good enough it would be a better chance to win trophies and increase his earnings. If he picks Scotland fantastic and we can all get behind him and get this thread up to 1000 pages. What I wouldn't want to see happening is him waiting till he is say 20 he finds he isn't going to be a superstar and then "settling" for Scotland. The current rules are going to lead to the top countries hoovering up all the best international players in the same way big clubs are doing now if players are waiting to see how good an international team they can play for. 16 year olds can get married, join the army etc so I don't think it's a stretch to pick what international football team to tie yourself to. Yes people can feel they have multiple nationalities but for football I think we need to make a decision for internationals to have a decent future.

How is making someone make a decision when they sign a professional contract any different than locking someone in when they play a senior game or should football go the way of some other sports where players can represent multiple countries as a senior player?

Seems like a simple issue to fix for me. First professional contact you sign, have a field for nationality. You need to pick at 16ish. Job done. You don't get to wait to see how good you are before choosing.

Great game to watch today. Celtic edged it but Aberdeen were excellent on the counter -

Birds aren't usually made of metal and have very light delicate bones to allow them to fly. Reports are that the airport drones are big commercial ones too, who knows what it's all about. Doubt it is someone doing it for a laugh because if you heard you could/would get 5 years for it you would stop immediately and hide. -
League cup final thread

That looked horrific. Hopefully not too badly injured but looks like he could have fractured his skull -

The Mighty Rangers

I reckon the ref got it right. If you watch the way candelas steps forward in a big lunge to land on the guys calf it's a really unnatural motion. Taverner was lucky not to get booked too for kicking the guy on the deck too. Stupid overly aggressive play which they got called for -
Scottish Football TV Deal
Mee replied to vanderark14's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46264665 The five-year agreement - reported to be worth up to £100m - will include 48 games per season, as well as the six Premiership play-off ties. 20 mil a season for 54 games is £370k per game. Doesnt seem like a huge amount to me. Or to cut it another way average of £1.6 mil per season per team!!!! In modern football terms that is almost nothing. -
Scottish Football TV Deal
Mee replied to vanderark14's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Just when people are Scottish football is picking up fans and attention they find a new way to reduce peoples interest. There are very few people who will pay for premier sports and Sky to get all the games so they will simply stop watching. Short term rubbish business management. -
The Mighty Celtic...

All the Scottish players for Celtic were superb. If be tempted to start then all. The Tierney Robertson situation is a tough one -
European super league
Mee replied to exile's topic in Football related - Discussion of non TA football
Founder teams that can't be relegated for 20 years. What a shocking idea. The best part about PSG financial doping is watching them getting spanked in the champions League. I'm already losing interest in the English and European football as it's getting to the point where the players are so good it's not fun to watch. 22 footballing robots not making any mistakes and balancing off to a 0 0 draw doesn't hold a candle to an SPL scrapy game with wild challenges, crazy goals and a big fight at the end. It might not be how it's supposed to be but it's bloody entertaining
