JMDP Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 8 hours ago, DG.Roma said: Barrow 0 v 2 Barnet, Vanarama National League (formerly known as The Vauxhall Conference!) 1135 in attendance. Nice (but freezing) day, nice drive, nice views, excellent pitch, utterly dire football game. On this evidence, anyone that tells you English non league players are better that what we have in the Championship and Lge 1 is delusional (Falkirk scouts anyone?!) Fairly amusing to see Barrow attempt to play it around at the back, including their goalie, as if they're Man City, but getting nowhere. They were great at giving the ball away. Barnet had some big strong looking skilful guys upfront who would do 5 stepovers before running into a defender. Both goals from Barrow mistakes, 2nd one a good finish though. Barrow reacted by taking off their most creative player on 37 mins. That level is horrendous. I lived near the hive for last couple of years and the standard is terrible. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Serie C Group B: Pordenone 0-1 Fermana.A wee trip to Friuli for a top of the table clash on a driech Sunday.The weather didn't seem to harm the crowd much as the main stand was almost sold out and a decent number stood opposite in cheap waterproofs holding umbrellas leading the chants.Pordenone are nicknamed "The Lizards" and have a very nice set up near the centre of town and a decent support from all demographics. The stadium is notable as the first I've been to which doubles as a velodrome.The home side were by far the better team in the first half, winning plenty of corners and dominating the midfield. Fermana didn't have a lot to show until one of their players stood on the ball following a corner and won a penalty. Half time 0-1.In the second half Fermana proceeded to shitfest it and Pordenone struggled to maintain their fluidity. The game had an edge to it from the start and by the seventh time a Fermana player went down injured Pordenone fans and players had had enough. The referee, who wasn't great in general, did a good job of keeping things under control as the Fermana goalkeeper was being held back by his teammates following a head's gone. The injured player started to walk off the pitch with the physio's aid but soon collapsed to the ground again and the stretcher was called for. The resulting abuse from the stands put the Fermana manager and one or two of his subs over the edge and they turned around to shout at the home support.Pordenone pressed hard but despite a parade of well taken corners never managed to create a clear chance and after six games in Italy I have yet to see the home side win.The most interesting part of today's game was that each side used five substitutes. I imagine this will soon become the norm in professional leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to a different block just before KO as it was really busy where I was and the view wasn't that great, whilst there was a largely empty block not far away. View was good from there, and I had a great view on a fistfight close to me... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Not exactly random but it was a Cup Final. Adelaide United 2 Sydney FC 1 in the FFA Cup Final at Coopers (Hindmarsh) Stadium, attendance 14,448(capacity 16,500). No photos as my phone played up but here’s Craig Goodwin’s 1st goal. He scored the winner as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab B Nesbit Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Cold one tonight for ... Broxburn Athletic 2 Preston Athletic 1 in the Football Nation East of Scotland Qualifying Cup 2nd round. The home side are largely on top but are pegged back before winning it heading into the closing stages. Crowd 107. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 On 23/10/2018 at 12:12, LondonHMFC said: Just make sure it isn't when they play Lazio. Genuinely fear for any Atalanta fan going to Rome for that this season. Frankfurt chairman has asked his fans not to travel to Rome for the return match as he has been told Lazio are out to murder. Somewhat sensationalised, but a statement nonetheless. The Atalanta game a few days later will be very moody if no Frankfurt fans do make the trip to Rome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Carlisle Utd v Newport today. ETA - Finished 3-2 to Carlisle United with a screamer from Grainger being the winner. No idea how Newport managed to lose that one. Better team by some way. Edited November 3, 2018 by Jute 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
