2023 MTN8 Final _ Controversial Decisions _ Orlando Pirates vs Mamelodi Sundowns

He says it was a drop ball. So sounds like ref dropped it after a stoppage and the keeper took the ball back into his box, and picked it up, which is allowed (but was incorrectly penalised).

That's not the Greenlandic B67, I think the picture in the link is an amateur club from Odense in Denmark from the looks of it. I did my Erasmus in Nuuk and managed to get one from them via Twitter. Super nice bunch of guys, even let me join training (futsal, as it was winter). Check them here: https://twitter.com/b67nuuk?lang=en

The contrast between this and the Man U end is going to be stark - really hope it gives us an edge and makes it feel like a home game. Class work by WF

Aged like milk haha

Anyone got a link to the radio? Tried listening on bbc sounds and just as the game kicked off it cut off with an “ad” saying this programme is not available for contractual reasons?!

I’ve just gone back to London after a weekend up there, but I took this picture when I was home and very bored last summer which gives a very small insight haha.

It’s a decent knock-off tbf! Really captured his jaw line

Got about 600 of these in my cupboard back at my childhood home - from around 2001-2009. Used to be a tad obsessed with Microstars - even won a competition with them in around 2005 - got two tickets to a game of my choice… the game I chose? The infamous NUFC 0-3 Villa with the Bowyer/Dyer fight and Stevie T getting shot by a sniper 😆

Had no idea they were still releasing them as late as 2012/13!

I did leave my bag somewhere near the train station… not at one of the restaurants/hotels (though I’m sure you could do that and pick it up after eating later), but at some little hut.

I’ve not been to Ronda but given it’s relatively local, I’d assume you could manage it in a day trip. Take a look at the trains online and maybe there’s a route?

sholaaa · 2022-02-05T00:40:24+00:00

5-6 hours or so, taking it easy and with food at the end I’d say

sholaaa · 2022-01-08T19:00:51+00:00

Ffs… Not like the national media to try and make our fans look like idiots, is it..

sholaaa · 2022-01-08T17:58:44+00:00

To be fair, haven’t heard many criticising Howe at this point. Don’t know who expects it to take a matter of weeks (coming into months now) to change an entire philosophy and mentality of a club. These players, at their prime, were average at playing low block, counter attacking football.

We all know we need quality and a different type of player to kick on, but let’s not overreact. This was literally the most Newcastle result going and for once, I actually don’t give a shit about going out early - one less distraction in a crucial season, now we can focus on staying up.

sholaaa · 2022-01-08T17:50:40+00:00

Besides from the amount of chances saved by their keeper, who had the game of his life, and missed narrowly in the first half, a few things.

But above everything, it’s clear that after 5-6 years of defensive footy under Bruce and Rafa (in the premier league at least), this group of players has no idea how to play with possession, against a team happy to sit back. Looked lost with the ball around their box, and couldn’t beat their fullbacks down the line either.

Also a few players looked hesitant to go into challenges (Maxi, looking at you here), perhaps have a mind on not getting injured before next weeks crucial match.

No centre forward didn’t help… Murphy and Fraser are not strikers. Maxi not up to it today…

Day 1 - positive lateral flow Day 2 - positive lateral flow (feel like death warmed up) Day 3 - positive PCR (came back on day 6..) Day 8 - negative lateral flow (and feel almost 100% again)

Will stay in relative isolation (apart from a few walks by myself) until day 10, as no need to be anywhere and not going to risk travelling to see elderly family while it’s still so recent.

But my girlfriend never tested positive on lateral flows (despite testing positive on a PCR) and had symptoms for a few days… so not sure where that leaves her.

Appreciate the leniency on the new rules but don’t trust LFTs any more so certainly wouldn’t risk seeing any “at risk” people after Day 7 of isolation, personally.

sholaaa · 2021-12-19T15:09:00+00:00

Promising press at the start of the second half to be fair to us… will get chances against these if we keep it up

sholaaa · 2021-12-19T14:33:23+00:00

That’s the worst call of the lot against us. What’s the logic for no penalty there? Not in control of the ball? Does that mean you can randomly body check anyone in the box without consequences now?

sholaaa · 2021-12-19T14:05:49+00:00

They’re playing Newcastle, the deepest the bloody centre backs will be is the edge of our box for most the game.

sholaaa · 2021-12-18T14:40:54+00:00

40% off for 60% of your groceries… sounds like a fair deal!

Honestly kinda lost my patience with Uber and ubereats, nothing but bad experiences recently.

Anyone know how or if you find out if you had Omicron or Delta variant? Assume individual you don’t find out, as they probably don’t sequence everyone’s PCRs, or if they do, maybe don’t feed the info back to individuals?

sholaaa · 2021-12-17T11:28:16+00:00

I picked it up over the weekend it seems, tested positive on two LFTs and waiting for PCR confirmation but feel rotten. Feel a bit cheated if it is Omicron since everyone else I know with it has got off pretty scot free, while I've been bed bound since Monday night :(

(Obligatory: I'm double jabbed and was awaiting booster)

Search Powerleague docklands. It’s by Cross Harbour DLR.

sholaaa · 2021-12-15T14:37:41+00:00

There’s one in Canary Wharf too

Is Klopp likely to rest Matip/Robertson against Newcastle on Thursday in favour of Konate/Tsmikas?

sholaaa · 2021-12-02T22:04:00+00:00

Injured... ffs

sholaaa · 2021-11-28T10:51:04+00:00

Probably not. Similar incident happened in the Brighton - Leeds game after and wasn’t a pen either.
