Football Banter Thread

Rotty · 23 Oct 2013 at 20:19

we have decided to close the old thread and start a new one, not that it wasn't a good thread but it seems to have moved away from it's original purpose

The idea was for unimportant, fun stuff and general bits and bobs

What it isn't to become is a mish mash of several topics that you cannot follow

Huge directionless threads stifle discussion, make things hard to follow and even harder to moderate so let's keep this fun and feel free to start new threads for important stuff

On the subject of spectacular goals Ibrahimovic was at it again last night:

Going to be a candidate for goal of the season.

Inter - 66 in 117 (32)
Barca - 22 in 46 (13)
AC Milan - 56 in 85 (27)

Jaw droppingly good.

Link for all the goals here. His 2nd was a pretty decent one too, but I'd love to see what speed he got on the ball for the 3rd!

I've read on the BBC site that it was 93mph.

Useless that Roddy is :/

CliffyG · 24 Oct 2013 at 14:32

Shouldn't this all be in a ZLatan thread?

BaZ87 · 24 Oct 2013 at 14:39

It could and probably should be in the Euro Spoilers thread where it's been discussed already.

French clubs not very happy:

French clubs will go on strike in November in protest at plans to impose higher taxes on players' wages.

The government wants a 75% 'super tax' on those earning an annual salary of more than 1m euros (£850,000) .

Jean-Pierre Louvel, president of professional clubs' union UCPF, said: "There will be a weekend without a game at the end of the month (November)."

The strike will affect matches in Ligue 1 and 2 - the top two divisions - from 29 November to 2 December.

Under the proposal, companies, rather than individuals, would be liable to pay the 75% tax rate for the part of employees' annual salaries that exceed 1million euros.

Poor PSG might see an exodus of players if this tax becomes a reality.

Cashley has cashed in £110mill of his shares. Id like to think that it will mean a merry Xmas for the Toon but he's probably just fuelling up for some more casino benders.

What a great ref!

[ASSE]Hinchy · 25 Oct 2013 at 13:28

I love that he punches and kicks them, then sends them off as well.

Also funny is how the player gets a soft slap to the face and still rolls around like he would trying to get another player sent off.

floodlight failure at Dingwall

Highland Derby abandoned.

Does this look like a swastika to you?

Shamikebab · 26 Oct 2013 at 20:26

I'd be more worried about an article saying future stars which has a picture of Welbeck.
