Sport1 in Germany state, "Lukebakio will pen a four-year contract with Burnley, keeping him at the Premier League side until 2027. Relegated from the Bundesliga, Hertha Berlin will receive a respectable €11m plus add-ons for the Belgian."

That isn't true. Intent is very much part of the punishment. Even without contact, intent comes into it. Out of control is exactly what it says, matters not if there is any intent to injure. What the rule is designed to do is prevent that flying through the air sort of tackle, As someone who still ...

It's football! I told my kids repeatedly that what they heard at football matches wasn't stuff they could use at home without consequences, and that if I found out they had used it elsewhere those same consequences would follow. I said the same to my grandkids when they first started going - only to...

I suspect that will be a fluid 3 at the back with Roberts and Vitinho as attacking wing backs/wide defensive midfield. Kompany likes to see 2 groups of 5 for the most part with an extra player being released to the other bank when we need to try and overload.

Thats not what he said in the video? Presume he must be pronouncing his own name incorrectly then?

In his interview he used both and said that BerGe was the correct pronunciation but berj was also an acceptable way.

We now have Internationals from all 4 Scandinavian countries JBG, Ekdal, Berge, and Bruun Larsen. Interesting.

Our defence is best with Ekdal in and I'll keep beating this drum. He's a much better ball player than he gets credit for (don't know why he's not rated for it) and he's a better out-and-out defender than O'Shea, and seems to either shape up better for the keeper or aid in defensive organising (did...

Very poor so far. IF we played like this throughout the season we would end up below even Luton.

Little movement, poor ball control, all over the place at the back, and that midfield is absolutely dire so far.

I'm sure we will see lots of changes from Vinnie

Oh dear and we would have missed him knocking a certain goalkeeper in the net and scoring two in the same game. Your comment is a bit ridiculous.

A marvellous memory for sure - but Pickles has it right, 2 seasons too long, although he did fit the Dyche system well.

Tbf even with a decent signing on fee, spread over his contract that's not half bad.

Didn’t seem to stop Celtic (as one example) wearing their Dafabet sponsored shirt away at Real Madrid.

I think the Spanish government caved to UEFA about teams in UEFA competitions being allowed to wear their normal kit.

If the ref is going strictly by the letter of the law then that kickoff was illegal as the taker passed it forward into our half to a player who was in our half.

As long as a part of the players foot is touching the half way line he is legal

I play walking football which, because of the taking away of over physical contact, heading, running (well, sort of stopped it, tbh), tackling from behind etc., is able to have men and women playing in the same games. Skills are not the problem, I've played against some very skilful women (some of w...

I don't think Jay has ever looked good in that central/slightly advanced midfield role. Always anonymous when he is played there

Probably the same in most towns and cities across England as well.
