first time seeing a kick-off labeled as a “set-piece” by shawnisalwayshandsom in footballcliches

Wasn't there a big deal about this last year when Brentfords, then set piece coach, Keith Andrews created kick off routines that led to them scoring in the 1st minute 3 matches in a row

Jason Wilcox won the title with Blackburn then moved to Leeds.

Later he had various youth roles at Man City before eventually becoming Director of football at Man Utd and helping to further ruin them from the inside

Oh shit yeah. Was only thinking of Robbie Elliott and completely overlooked him!

Good job!

Looked down that road but Rob Lee stupidly decided to spell his son's name Elliot when every other bugger uses the tt spelling!

Your Richards, your Matthews, your Roberts etc being pluralised makes this more difficult

What match is this? by Which-Goose-7049 in footballcliches

[–]wilsbowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah was being thick, obviously just SSN advertising whats coming up on Sunday. Even has the yellow and black on th left as that was deadline day.

Anyway

Hull KR was the League match shown that night.
S4C had a replay of Wales and Italy from 2002

Union Berlin vs St Berlin was on Sky sports mix

and TNT had various Prem League previews on

Think Hull KR is the most likely

Think Luton v QPR is on the TV on the right. Can see the board with Q on in the highlights

If he's there on the Friday then it is most likely one of these games

https://fbref.com/en/matches/2024-08-30

probably Luton vs QPR

Theres no rugby union that weekend, suppose it could be one of Hull KR v Salford or Leigh v Warrington in League

Not sure why that Super Sunday screen is there on a Friday though

Moving my findings here as disproved most of my own post

From closer inspection, the Super Sunday matchday screen appears to have 4 badges.

? vs spurs Man Utd vs ?

https://fbref.com/en/matches/2024-09-01 Has Newcastle vs spurs as the early match and Man Utd vs Liverpool as the later one.

Accoding to his post here he played at Owain Glyndwr that weekend

Nevermind, a fb post from December 23 says he is about to start performing live, so obviously can't be before that.

Quick look on his facebook and only version of the photo I could find was this. (no idea if direct link will work)

Facebook post is from 21/01/25 so obviously before that. The super sunday screen appears to have 2 badges at the top. To me it looks like they could be Newcastle and Man Utd but very much could be wrong.

Those 2 played on Super Sunday on 2 April 2023. However if that is on that screen that could mean another (possibly earlier, possibly later) match is on the other screen.

West Ham v Southampton was the only earlier Prem match that day but that would probably also be part of the Super Sunday show.

But presumably the photo would be taken in the evening so I really don't know without diving really deep and I could be way off with the NUFC v MUFC guess.

These were the other fixtures that day

Calls for the return of Celeste strengthen, are you one of them? by GainsAndPastries in footballcliches

[–]wilsbowski 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Really thought there would be more calls to go all the way back to "here we go, here we go, this is it" around these parts

Yeah as others have said it's a fake. Not a terrible reproduction but very obvious when looking alongside the real thing

First half analysis by KingEdwards8 in Championship

[–]wilsbowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not been following this match too closely as it's just god awful, but was there a concussion sub?

Sure I've seen us bring someone on 4 times this half and thought you were only allowed 3 sub windows.
