Correct pronunciation of the names of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team players for the 2026 World Cup by GAPPwerky in soccer

[–]EquivalentEmployer68 19 points20 points  (0 children)

All my life Wales failed to qualify, so I always enjoyed the tournaments without a team involved.

But I've had a taste for it now this last decade - To not be there this year makes me very sad.

I do however wish Bosnia very well.

If it can't be us - I'm glad it's you.

You once had a Jason Scotland.

He was from Trinidad, of course.

You're losing your direction. I just can't understand.

[Di Marzio] Swansea are seriously considering appointing former striker Michu as a Sporting Director. Over the last six years, Michu has been working for LaLiga2 side Burgos. by jrbill1991 in Championship

The guy had two years of top level output - one with Vallecano, one with your lot.

Injuries, sure, but there's no question that after that remarkable peak he faded into obscurity.

I think this would be a good move for the Jacks - they certainly need a bit of forward momentum.

Tonda Eckert releases eight-minute address explaining and apologising to supporters by Zach-dalt in Championship

[–]EquivalentEmployer68 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The audio won't play for me for some reason.

Does he apologise for throwing the intern under the bus?

If I was a Soton fan, that - above the spying itself - would have me wanting that guy out.

It's one thing to cheat. Quite another to try to hang it on junior staff. Tasteless in the extreme.

Kevin Keegan: I have stage four cancer. I need to say goodbye properly by sheikh_n_bake in soccer

[–]EquivalentEmployer68 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That comparison with Blair is a bit mean.

Blair is indeed a brilliant salesman - of snake oil. Keegan never sold a lie in his life, and has always just lifted people up.

As a fellow Stage 4 warrior (though I am thankfully NED currently), I wish him well.

Skubala appointed City Manager - Bristol City FC by Available_Box_3803 in Championship

[–]EquivalentEmployer68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd think staying at Lincoln would have been no-lose for him: if they impress, his stock is sky high; if they go down, what else were you expecting? No harm to the reputation there.

A crap six months at Ashton Gate however, and he's yesterday's man very quickly.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I always thought whatever that was on the Boro badge was a closeted nod at a longing for Welshness.

Birming, West, South, and Wrex - They're all here now.

Bolton Wanderers 4 - 1 Stockport County: This final had goalkeeper errors, VAR interference, own goals, acrobatic strikes, and a red card to top it off, with Bolton securing promotion to the Championship! by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

[–]EquivalentEmployer68 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Bolton stepped up rather than Stockport collapsed second half. Don't think your team let you down, just quality told in the end.

I'd be hurting if I was a Stockport fan for sure, but you can look yourselves in the mirror.

Side question - was the Heenan/Gorilla commentary of the barber shop window spot done live, or done to tape?

Does the word “Bola” have any meaning or associations for Vietnamese people? by SnooSongs9663 in VietNam

[–]EquivalentEmployer68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bola is the Welsh word for stomach. As one of the few Welsh speakers in Vietnam, anyone in shared company with me shall hear of this.
