Bodø/Glimt really did not enjoy losing 1-0 away to Linfied last week, ended 8-1 on aggregate

I hate pre-season friendlies between teams that play in the same league for some reason.

Average height of a female goalkeeper in the English PL is 172cm, whereas the average height of a male goalkeeper in the English PL is 190cm. That's a height difference of 18cm on average. Men also genetically have longer arms than women tend to do, so there's a clear discrepancy here which will be to the detriment of the women's game for ages as you can't really fix that without altering the size of the goals, which would be offensive to do.

You can say the same argument for men's handball (not that any of you English lot care about handball), but the male goalkeepers are far too big for the goals in that sport. It's the same thing here, there's a reason why most male goalkeepers are pushing 200cm in height.

I really enjoyed this quote:

In all honesty, from a purely financial perspective - as a 27 year old footballer who's not been established outside the 5th tier of the footballing pyramid, it's not a bad career move financially - nor perhaps for his footballing career, as it gets his name out there. Professionalism of 0 however. I don't really see how it's any different from any other fucker tossing off their normal 9-5 to join the mentally challenged cast of some reality show.

My new Las Palmas mystery shirt begs to differ:

Not in itself, but in the wider context of "we only have three defensive signings in so far" and there being more window left open than shut. There are a lot more panic-y posts than yours, obviously mean nothing personal and no offensive intended towards you as a poster. Just wanted to express my frustration at the general complaints about our perceived inactivity this window.

I mean, it's only as if the transfer window has been open 37 days and there is actually still 46 days remaining of it - meaning we have longer left to make new signings than we have had to make the ones we already have made. Oh my, the panic.

Explosive right winger and dynamite on paper and showreels, very convincing to the untrained eye; real life not so good.

There was one more iirc, he was the more serious one.

All the Benfica boys that posted on here were going on about how Nunez was absolute shit and the numbers were lying, I hope they were right

Turns out having two of the best players in the world doesn't matter when the coaching set-up and the rest of the squad is utter shit. John Arne Riise was making more sense than the Norway manager. Jesus fuck, he should know he's shit when John Arne Riise talks more sense than you.

Saving these for after the final, which is what matters in the end.

I feel that if we're making the move now we were holding off to not go "big" on fees in the start of the window and then pick him up as the last of the signings as it looks clear he wants to come, but because Arsenal have shown interest there's a need to lock it down quicker than planned. Or whatever else reasons there might be

We're blatantly winning this championship

Perfect giffage.

Nothing wrong with having asthma. Everyone on the Norwegian skiing team have asthma, if anything all their gold medals prove they can defy their illness.

I think we might do a splurge at the end of the window for one or two if there's any targets that we really want. If we throw the money around now for a big name signing it could be harder to negotiate fees for the not so big name signings.

That's not even remotely close to the point Of course people want their shirt to look like the real thing, or they'd not buy the real thing. If I wanted a shirt that looked like a Turkish knock-off, I'd buy a Turkish knock-off. I'd not pay (the insane) full price to look like I'm wearing a snide shirt.
