Village Idiot Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/may/05/premier-league-ineptitude-index-2015-16-leicester-city Giggs? Guardian ineptitude index Not the worst crime a team can commit on the pitch, nor a foolproof indicator of incompetence, but a competent professional footballer ought to be able to find a team-mate in his own half pretty regularly. Not in Newcastle, though, where players failed to find a team-mate inside their own half an incredible 906 times. That means that, 25 times per game, they pass the ball to the opposition in an area of the pitch they should control. Says volumes, imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/06/cameroon-international-patrick-ekeng-dies-after-collapsing-on-pi/ Cameroonian international Patrick Ekeng has died after collapsing on the pitch during a match with his Romanian club Dinamo Bucharest. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder fell to the ground without any contact with another player just seven minutes after coming on as a substitute during a league game against Viitorul Constanta. Ekeng, who joined the Romanian club in January, was rushed to hospital where staff were unable to resuscitate him. "Resuscitation attempts were made for an hour and half without success," Dinamo team doctor Liviu Paltinean told journalists. Fans of the Bucharest club gathered outside the hospital late into the night to express their grief at the player's death. "I can't believe it. It's a nightmare. For me, for the team and for all Dinamo supporters. It's too much," said club executive director and former player Ionel Danciulescu. In 2003, Cameroon international midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe died after collapsing during a Confederations Cup match against Colombia in France. Horrible news.

Disco Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 RIP. It's small fry but going to a game and seeing that. Grim. I still remember listening to the Muamba match on the radio in the car and no one knowing what was going on, was horrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36236116 Champions League matches could be played at weekends from 2021. The idea is one of several being discussed by European governing body Uefa as it looks to maximise interest in its flagship club competition. Any change to the Champions League schedule would not happen for at least five years because of its broadcasting cycles. "It is far too early to speculate about changes to the formats of our club competitions," said a Uefa spokesman. The Champions League, previously known as the European Cup, has been played as a midweek competition since 1968. Its final was played in midweek until 2010 but now takes place on a Saturday. Weekend games could be staged at times more suited to the television audience in the Far East but would require changes to domestic schedules. The Uefa spokesman added: "We are in constant dialogue with all stakeholders and any decisions will be taken in agreement with them." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 That is fucking nuts. What happened leading up to that? Player went in late on another player and gave a free kick. The camera focused on the referee and in the box where the players were waiting for the freely like something happened which made the referee give out at least 1 red card.
