BobbyBiscuit Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 From yesterday's Fiver: "Instead of rolling up his sleeves to work, given the standings, he is thinking about bars and discotheques. Terek has never looked so hopeless. Ramzan Kadyrov has set Ruud Gullit the task of leaving Perm with all three points [tonight]... he is extremely dissatisfied with Gullit's approach to his duties" - Terek Grozny's official website warns Ruud Gullit that he faces the axe. Not literally, of course, although given Kadyrov is the Chechen leader who once told Russian GQ "I will be killing as long as I live" you can never be entirely sure. Quote

Tyrant Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Was it as funny as England 1-2 France in Euro 2004? That long ago eh? Mental. What a bounce though! Quote
Stewart Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 That long ago eh? Mental. What a bounce though! Remember the only England fan in the bar at 1-0 and then at 2-1? What a difference. Quote
tom_widdows Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2011/06/vickery_24.html#more However, it is the other play-off tie which will attract much more attention, because it features River Plate, one of the giants of Argentine football and the team with most league titles to their credit. This is not supposed to happen. The way that relegation works in Argentina is designed to save the big clubs from a temporary slump. Two short, separate championships are played per year. Relegation is worked out on an average of points accumulated over three years, or six championships. For a massive club like River Plate, flirting with relegation requires a prolonged period of incompetence - and that is what has happened. Quote
Harcus Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Jutes get some team from Poland in the second round of the UEFA Cup. Fulham get some Icelandic mob, followed by Crusaders from Ireland. Their first tie is on June 30 Quote
tom_widdows Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-13921747 The authorities in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, are mounting a huge security operation ahead of a do-or-die football clash for one of the continent's biggest clubs. River Plate face being relegated for the first time in their history. To avoid the drop, they must comfortably beat a team from the division below. Belgrano de Cordoba, their opponents, take a 2-0 lead from the first leg of the play-off into today's game. More than 2,000 police have been drafted in, in what is believed to be the biggest operation of its kind for an Argentine club game. They are manning huge security cordons around River's famous stadium, the Monumental - the venue where the 1978 World Cup final was played. River, the club that's won more domestic titles than any other, now faces a drop to the "B" league, for the first time since it was founded in 1901. anyone got a link for that game? Quote
tom_widdows Posted June 26, 2011 Report Posted June 26, 2011 Oh Dear ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Qw2jgU2xY River Plate fans have begun rioting at the Monumental after their club were relegated to the Nacional B following a 3-1 aggregate defeat to Belgrano in the play-offs. Wild scenes were witnessed immediately after the final whistle as fans began to break off parts of the seats, benches and anything else that could be found in the stands to toss onto the field in disbelief as the media joined players in the centre of the pitch in an attempt to avoid the chaos. These events come a week after River supporters jumped onto the field in Cordoba to disrupt the first leg, more were held back by police with shields and a power hose. Thirty minutes after the game concluded, fans were still trying to express their anger towards the demotion with chants calling for the dismissal of coach Juan Jose Lopez and club president Daniel Passarella, while visiting Belgrano fans also felt the wrath as they were pelted by objects. Arrests were made outside the stadium as furios supporters rebelled with rocks and stones. Television station TN confirmed that fans have set cars on fire in the stadium parking area. Quote
