Another reason to hate itv's coverage. :anguish:

Lawyers will be rubbing their hands if an injury happens due to the pitch, The pitch does look absolutely dreadful though.

No mandzukic or eduardo. Suspended / dirty turncoat who will score an OG A bit harsh that. :lol: Just reading between the lines, actually quite like Eduardo. He would have sung both anthems if he started.

qatar's opening ceremony will be better than this monstrosity.

barry manilow music :lol:

Go away on holiday for two weeks just back in time before the world cup starts, already hating itv's world cup coverage after 10 minutes. Nice job itv :anguish:

Hamburg survive due to the away goal rule. It finished 1-1.

It's over

The Play-off system in belgium Championship Playoff The point system in the championship playoff is the same as during the regular season, except that each team starts with half of the points they won in the regular season, rounded up to the nearest integer. The points gained by rounding are deducted in the case of a tie. The top 6 teams from the regular season enter the championship playoff, with the first-placed team winning the championship of Belgium. Each team plays their opponents twice, and the teams are ranked by points, points from rounding, wins, etc. as in the regular season. Europa League Playoff Teams ranked 7 to 14 after the regular season enter the playoffs 2, with teams ranked 7th, 9th, 12th and 14th entering the group A and teams ranked 8th, 10th, 11th and 13th entering the group B. In each group, each team plays each of its 3 opponents twice. The winner of each group plays the final game in two legs, to determine the winner of the playoffs 2. The winner of the playoffs 2 then plays a home and away game against either the fourth-placed or fifth-placed team from the playoffs 1 for the final Europa League ticket, with the opponent depending on the fact if the Belgian Cup winner ended in the top four of the playoff 1 or not. Relegation Playoff Teams ranked 15th and 16th after the regular season enter the relegation playoff. It consists of 5 games between the 2 teams. The 15th-placed team starts the playoffs with 3 points whereas the 16th-placed team starts from zero. The loser of the relegation playoff is relegated to the second division. The winner of that playoff enters the Belgian Second Division Final Round with 3 teams from the second division. The winner of this Final Round plays in the First Division the season thereafter.

Speaking of promotion and relegation, The worst system is the belgium league, It's absolutely mental, Every team gets its total points halved and for relegation the 15th team gets a 3 point head start over 16th and they play 5 games head to head.

Interviewing the manager after 30 minutes played. :lol:

The ref was incredibly lenient there.

Is this on tv anywhere ?

:lol: Is it really that bad ? It's fun! I avoid the midweek games as they're actually pretty shitty and it is almost always raining on a weeknight when they play, for some f***ing reason. It's a jolly good time if you discount how horseshit some of the players are. It's a bit like being Pardew, when one person does something remotely footballing-like, you feel like you've just witness magic. Fair enough, it doesn't sound too bad, are the ticket prices expensive ?

:lol: Is it really that bad ?

I wonder what the press will make of redknapp if he fails to get QPR promoted ?

:anguish:

Southampton could sell shaw and lallana for easily 60 million plus, reinvest all the money and they could have a very good chance finishing in the top 5/6.

He is german and has a contract until 2017, well that's us out of the race to sign him altogether, Sky also says we are trying to get lasogga and perez but with him asking supposedly too much, we will not sign him. I'm sure i read a story that he was on something like £500 a week.
