Branston Pickle

3 years? And the rest!!

I am fully aware that it is a friendly and doesn’t matter a jot, but we do appear to have learned sod all about defending our goal. We need to be hard to score against, not concede possession stupidly all the time.

Tbh, of the players that are worth higher amounts, I’d probably be ‘happiest’ to lose Sara. It would be great to keep all of them, but that’s not realistic.

When do Celtic play Oxford?

Quite, though two loans in the same position would be a bit odd.

Yes, and we have had a system in place via the club, for many years.

Lead the way? This has been done elsewhere for a while - Brentford have since they moved. We also have had a system for years. The simple fact is that with nearly 50% of their ground being left unoccupied for games up to two seasons ago, there was no need for anything much down in Bintown…

I was much the same, but saw an offer the other day for the first year for £15 and decided I might as well subscribe…that didn’t feel too much. I’ll say one thing, it makes articles a lot easier to read!

I think it’s as simple as them needing him in the US, so they couldn’t do it before and it’ll be done when they are back.

With 48 teams at W Cups from 2026, they’ll need a fair few locations - for US/Can/Mexico they are using 16 (11:2:3) - so perhaps this is just the Spanish ones?

This is from a bbc article in April - I have to say it largely passed me by! Sheffield United will start with a two-point deduction the next time they play in the Championship, following a ruling by the EFL. The Blades broke EFL rules by defaulting on payments to other clubs during their 2022-23 promotion season. As well as the initial deduction, the Premier League's bottom club have been handed a further two-point suspension. The club said it was "disappointed" but will not appeal against the decision.

He’ll be lucky if he’s their first choice. And should they get back they will almost certainly get a better player in, so it means very little.

Indeed. The fact he favours one foot over the other is a strange thing to be critical of, as that covers just about everyone.

Tbh from what I’ve read it felt like the Doyle loan signing was as good as done before they went to the US. We just have to hope he doesn’t get crocked over there!

I read that article and wondered why it was being put this way - Kenny is perfectly capable of playing a possession game. It felt a bit strange.
