U21 team for first of games against Northern Ireland. No tv coverage that I can find sadly.

Apparently not just Fleck who will now miss the game tonight.

Bit of a surprise as Ancelotti hardly had Everton looking like world beaters.

Official confirmation of McGinn’s new deal. As long as it’s on a much reduced contract happy enough with this.

That was a great game between two very good teams. Neither team deserved to lose. Even when down to 10 Italy kept going forward. Extra man told in the end with Portugal winning 5-3. Other quarter final finished 2-2 and has gone to penalties. ETA - Should come as no surprise that Germany won the shoot out 8-7. Semi finals on Thursday are Holland v Germany and Portugal v Spain.

Aye been brilliant. Into extra time at 3-3 with Italy coming back from being 2-0 and 3-1 down. Red card there was there 6th of the tournament for Italy. Germany v Denmark into extra time as well after finishing 1-1.

Finished 2-1 to Spain. Italy v Portugal on next.

Euro U21s tournament on Sky just now. Spain and Croatia in to extra time after Croatia equalised with a penalty in 94th minute. They eliminated England with injury time goal back in March. Holland also scored in last minute to eliminate France in other quarter final.

Now apparently being hosted by Brazil but no venues being announced yet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57304063

Mellon been reappointed as Tranmere manager.

COPA America in doubt as both host nations have now withdrawn. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/may/31/copa-america-in-doubt-with-13-days-to-kick-off-after-argentina-removed-as-host

Would no benefit from scoring the away goal not just lead to away teams just sitting in away from home?

From what I have read it seems to be Levy that is doing all the running on this. He has been under a lot of pressure following ESL farce and sees bring back Pochettino as a way of deflecting some of this. Pochettino would have all the power in this and should be able to get guarantees on transfers and funds.

Hernandez occupied his usual position in Atlanta’s 2-2 draw with Nashville tonight.

Finished 1-0 to Chelsea. City for all their good technical players could not break Chelsea down and had no plan B when it became clear plan A was failing.

Chelsea 1-0 up on Manchester City at half time in Champions league final. Been a decent game so far.

Think you are no longer that clubs player but they are still on for the salary as far as salary cap rules apply although player still still contracted to the league who continue to pay him for duration of his contract. While on waivers there is an order MLS clubs can take you in but if a club takes you then they go to bottom of pile for next player that comes up on waivers. After set period (2 days I think) then any MLS team can take the player without endangering their waiver position. Think this is also when non MLS teams can approach him although think you may still have to negotiate with the league but not sure but from my understanding it would be as a permanent signing and not a loan. Would we really want a player that no team in the MLS wants.

Seriously just wish they would leave the game alone.

Gurr been freed by Atlanta which suggests story yesterday was rubbish as it said we were taking him on loan. https://www.atlutd.com/post/2021/05/28/atlanta-united-waives-jack-gurr

Talks between Howe and Celtic have broken down according to SSN.

Falkirk appoint Sheerin.

Looks like there is more to Ramirez rumour than first thought. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/christian-ramirez-tracked-aberdeen-stephen-24201341.amp?__twitter_impression=true Not sure how he would qualify for a work permit or how we are affording his wages which according to list published by MLS sit at USD 775,000 basic.

Motherwell sign Connor Shields from Queen of the South. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57275345

Just because you hear it everyday does not make it right. Mackay is not the victim of anything. He is a racist who got outed for his backward views. Nothing more.

Spurs apparently wanting to take Pochettino back as manager. https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/premier-league/2020-2021/football-news-mauricio-pochettino-tottenham-open-talks-with-psg-boss-about-a-return-to-north-london-_sto8338797/story.shtml
