SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2021/22

Hehehehe. Urgh.

 

When i was growing up the notion that Celtic, winning against a fairly decent foreign side (ie in Europe) at a rammed Parkhead in front of 50,000 doing the Poznan would play 2nd fiddle to a story about an insincere batshit girl who hadn't died or been attacked or anything -wasnt even playing that night- would be unbelievable.

But there you are.

I see poor old PSV Eindhoven, another giant of my chikdhood and youth, are a mere figment of their former selves.

This is a club who had Romario playing for them. In his pomp.

 

At that point bbc sport was about covering sport that people watched. Now its top priority is edifying you.

 

Honestly ... I think Motson would be canceled today. That coat of his. Pure cruelty. All those baldy sheep, succumbing to the Yorkshire Winter, so he could come on TV with his old, make, white ideas about offside and transfers etc.

It's not entirely different over here. Certainly annoying at times.

From "their" perspective women's sports lack popularity due to a lack of media attention. If they got more attention it somehow automatically follows it would become more popular. Not popular enough to some's liking? Still a problem with the media and/or the public.

Negative attention is way better than none though. The activist types don't care about the sport, they have other agendas. They love to blame "misogyny" for people's apathy and jump at the chance to go on twitter or write articles about it. In fact they're sitting around waiting and hoping for someone to post shit.. @somebody123 says "Get those dykes off the field!"

BOOM! There's a "story."

It's not a suspicious growth that you need to see a doctor about before it gets worse. It's something to ignore like a zit. Scratch it and it only gets worse.

Don't feed the trolls has been a saying on the internet almost since its inception but people don't learn.

 

Yup there's all that here plus the sibling obsessions with race and the big relative newcomer which is an odd fixation on trivial mental health issues. The story that subplanted Celtic might be an AI composite of 2020s bbc sports headlines, ie a non white female athlete you've never heard of talking about the troubling feelings stirred by some personal hang up you don't give a shit about. Third story down, team news for the Man Utd-Liverpool title decider about to start.

 

No such problems last night mate. Establishments gonna Establish.

 

Agreed.

But it's hardly surprising. Ronda Rousey was ready to kick the shit out of Floyd. People believed it. She just never got her chance, maaan.

Womens football is the same. They flirt around the concept of equality but knoe that if they put on a 3pm game this Saturday nobody will attend.

Of course, and as you already alluded to, this is simple sexism.

Its not because people had somewhere else better to be that day.

 

The Celtic women's team goal I posted from last night seems like an adequate explanation of why 60,000 will watch the men tomorrow and about 60 the women. The commentator...'erm maybe the wind caught it? Im not sure'

 

The greatest goals in womens football were scored against women. They are the footballing equivalent of the Thalidomide Olympivs 100m dash. You beat other Thalidomides. Behave.

 

We're gonna do them this year. They know it, you can see it on the streets, the blue, the orange, the trackies, the unionjack & redhand face masks, already they're being.... erased...from existence

 

Puffer jackets, hoods up, trackies painted on a quarter leg too short, trainers, white socks, bike with no lights and no lock.

One hand on the handlebars the other hand holding a hot phone with sime "muzak" coming out of it.

 

Barca are ok. They're humble enough to revere THE CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB.

 

FUCKING LOVE CHARLIE AUSTIN!!! YOU RRRRR's

 

Lol I was on my way over here as soon ss i heard it. was 2 each

 

4 of the poorest goals we'll score this year...St mirren might struggle to win the WSPFL. Game swiftly put to bed, green brigade turn their attention to singing obscure gary ogg/shebeen rebel songs for 55 minutes.

 

Seems a good day for all so far...

 

104 shots on goal in our last 3 domestic games. In each of those games we surpassed 50 touches inside the box which was only bested 2 other times in the last 6 years. I can definitely see us wracking up a double digit scorline at some point this year.

 

That's a pretty crazy stat. Goalkeepers getting a good workout.

 

Shaqiri to Lyon.

So from Switzerland to Germany to Italy to England now off to France. Unless he suffers a serious injury i'm thinking this isn't his last country.

 

West Ham look excellent here.

 

Leicester terrible. They don't like it up em.

 

Travelling to Holland to stay in & europe then the first Old Firm at Ibrox three days later. Ange knows, things are about to get real.

 

Kane to Spurs, confirmed.

 

City will probably go all in for Haaland now and win the league for the next 10 years. Yay.

 

Could be.........I think what will happen is Kane will go at Christmas.

 

I think that will depend where Spurs are in the table and how much Kane is contributing. If he's putting up his usual numbers and Totnum are in CL contention i don't think they'd jeopardize that chance. He's surely gone in the summer though. If they make it top 4 it will also be easier to attract players with the funders from the sale if they can offer CL play.

Apparently PSG rejected a 160 million offer for Mboopi from Real Madrid even though it's the last year of his contract.

 

Where did REAL get the money?
