Midweek Euro Football nights.

Post by brian f »

Currently watching the Spurs v Bayern Munich game, Half time Bayern up 2-1. Real Madrid done well to come back against Bruges to draw 2-2. Champions League.

Goodluck to Celtic who play at home to CFR Cluj - Thursday night, And to Rangers away to Young Boys - Thursday night . Both these games are in the Europa League.

What a wonderful example from Spurs.....1-0 ahead and loose 2-7 How to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Scotland national team would do well to follow that instance, Oh they already do :( :( :(

I'm not a big fan of the "champions" league and very rarely watch it now but I wonder if Pochetino's mind is somewhere else........Manchester maybe?
Those wimin were in the nip.

I know what you mean bonzo its just a cash cow now for the tv companys. Spurs lost 3 matches in it last year and still made the final.... I preferred the old format - the toss of the coin.

You could be right about Mauricio Pochettino, something is just not right. Manchester or Madrid.

Watched The Rangers and Celtic games last night.

Porto 1 1 Rangers

Brilliant performance by Rangers- What a difference from the dismal 1-1 draw with Hearts on Sunday. At times they passed the ball about like Guardiolas Barcelona team. Taking a point from this game was a good result.

Celtic 2 1 Lazio

Celtic showed great character to come back from 0-1 in front of a packed and incredible atmosphere at Celtic Park. An excellent win against a class Roman outfit.

It's incredible how both teams can raise their game after playing against poorer teams in the Spl.

I thoroughly enjoyed both matches on BT Sport last night.

Why, however, after, over 150 years of league tables in the format of: -

P/ W/ D/ L/ GF/ GA/ PTS

has somebody decided it should be: -

PTS/ P/ W/ D/ L/ GF/ GA

I can't get used to it, and by the time my brain gets sorted out the caption has left the screen.

Brian,

What time of night is it? The day I retired, a long time ago now, I put my watch in a drawer and it hasn't seen the light of day since, and as a favourite singer of mine once said, "Time was once just a clock to me....."

Penny Tray- I wholeheartedly agree with you. And the same goes for the Rugby- When they introduced bonus points.
