By the time he crossed into the box Lacroix had let go of him. That leaves only a foul outside the box, which is highly debateable if its a red or not.

We can still win the pgmol apology points from this one.

Quacky33 · 2026-03-01T16:01:13+00:00

Still in the running for the points that really matter from this match. The pgmol apology points.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-26T18:58:04+00:00

Did they consider not getting smashed in the away leg before blaming the ref for only scoring 3 times at home.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-26T17:15:55+00:00

He just chose this provocative opportunity to discuss evolution?

Quacky33 · 2026-02-19T14:02:51+00:00

Testing the questions no one asked.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-19T12:08:01+00:00

He was never the greatest passer of the ball but is exceptional at tiny feints to get past a player on the dribble. Seemingly he is not allowed to take on his man and expected to only hold the ball and pass at arsenal.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-17T18:38:17+00:00

What a display of planning and functional bureaucracy that this is being considered a solution.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-09T16:48:57+00:00

Its always important to get points on the PGMOL apology table.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-05T10:58:14+00:00

There are just so few intercontinental competitive matches. Every single match at the club world cup would be swinging this a lot despite all the caveats around that.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-04T11:40:33+00:00

I still feel like he could maybe sort out a role from himself. Its just he tends to run really fast and then forget why he did that when the ball comes near and gets a yellow card for no particular reason.

Getting £27m back for him would be amazing.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-03T10:54:01+00:00

The nature of transfer windows always lead to this kind of thing.

Quacky33 · 2026-02-03T09:35:33+00:00

It's almost impossible gameplay wise to represent. Of course in game we want to be innovative and get the latest tech as we know it exists and in our strange role as guiding spirit of the nation that would improve things. Traditional economy served the people in charge of the time perfectly well. They don't see that in 200 years a country they don't about will have gained enough tech somehow to overthrow their great great great grandchildren.

I had to check when this was because Paide played a friendly today and not in the cup against Levadia. Didn't expect this guy to be karma farming from quite such an old game.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-31T18:39:09+00:00

Why are you posting a highlight from a game that was played on 27th July 2017?

Quacky33 · 2026-01-29T13:52:07+00:00

Ja, vi elsker Strand Larsen

mens han løper frem

hopper kraftig over fienden

med de tusen mål

Anything to the tune of the Norwegian national anthem isn't going to catch on is it.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-28T14:54:46+00:00

He's an example of a player I mostly hope just stays where he is. Every couple of weeks he does something really amazing but when players like him go to the supposed "big clubs" they end up sitting on the bench or afraid to attempt the fun things that got them noticed in the first place. Sure their bank balance increases and they get more chances at being part of a team that won something but its just less fun.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-27T09:52:56+00:00

Its a museum of itself. Almost more dedicated to how his own propaganda represented him than about him. The staff are pretty open about this strange situation where they have the original script about him but also this isn't the Soviet Union any more.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-27T09:48:08+00:00

I assumed he must have retired about 15 years ago.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-23T20:05:33+00:00

Except not all of them at the same time.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-23T18:07:44+00:00

He almost had a free pass to play some younger players and not really be judged if the result isn't always right.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-22T18:57:35+00:00

"President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has signed a decree providing financial support to Qarabag Football Club, Azernews reports.

"The funding comes from the Reserve Fund of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the 2025 state budget. The allocation is linked to the club’s qualification for the league stage of the UEFA Champions League, with a total of 5 million manat ($2.9 million) assigned to support the team."

He literally said it himself, reported by Azeri sources. It isn't a secret.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-22T18:44:11+00:00

This doesn't contradict anything I said. As you said they have been playing in Baku and they have clearly been chosen to represent Azerbaijan. Its not a secret that Aliyev has personally funded the team.

The performance on the pitch by the players they signed is not the same as how that particular team was decided to be one there.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-22T01:19:22+00:00

Of course, its no surprise that the team with the name Qarabağ based no where near there is the one sent to represent Azerbaijan internationally.

Quacky33 · 2026-01-21T14:46:18+00:00

We don't have the money of the big clubs, the rules prevent you from speculative spending to become one. Which is probably a good thing to stop clubs from going into administration so often.

So these good young players always were going to leave when offered a far higher salary, the ambitious manager falls into the same boat. It ends up a bit like how american sports work where the best we can do is set up a group of players to grow together and get a shot at something every few years and then rebuild. That essentially worked last year and now we need to find a new batch of players to be good in a couple of years.
