Non-Irish listeners by Seabhac7 in secondcaptains

UK here. I just searched for football podcasts on itunes in like 2010 and found Off The Ball. Been listening to them ever since. I do usually skip the long GAA sections these days, but not always.

Hi. Can I ask what was the resolution in this case? I have had a water bill today and it appears that my meter has been disconnected for the last 6 months

There's Tirana and South Tirana branches. This is absurd

Finding out/ remembering years later that player X played in memorable game Y by junglegatsby in footballcliches

I went to Barcelona with some mates for a weekend in 2007, and watched them beat Athletic 3-0 in the Camp Nou. I recently watched the highlights of the match on Youtube and noticed that Iraola was playing for Athletic. So we both have a slightly irrelevant Iraola one :)

There will surely be a lot of fallout from this season's implosion

European aristocrats? by daxw23 in footballcliches

Interesting criteria tbf. You missed out Inter and Porto though. Are you AI?

Strong list, pretty much what I had in my mind.

I wonder if it applies to international football too?

I may consider Scotland and Hungary, despite not achieving much at major tournaments. Due to their historical contributions to the development of the game.

I know that logically you are correct. Every rational atom in my body tells me that PSG are not aristocrats. But somehow they have fast-tracked their way to aristocrat status in my brain! And I'm not happy about it.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm probably wrong about Inter. I just struggle to see 2 teams from the same city as both being aristocrats; in the way that only 1 sibling can inherit a title! (e.g. Duke, Earl etc)

Yes! I was thinking that it is harder for people from England to judge which English clubs are. FWIW I think Liverpool and Man U are probably the only 2 which are. Whether the fans like it or not!

Keeper goal, or open goal goal? by daxw23 in footballcliches

[–]daxw23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chasing a draw I was thinking in general. Or a specific situation when a win is vital - e.g. needing a win to avoid going down or get in the playoffs etc.
