Consigliere Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Should've scored four. Our finishing was rubbish as usual. Eriksen and Hojlund added to the injury pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Well, with Schär also out, you look a bit decimated. ETA: He's going for a lengthier absence, smart play.

We could do with getting knocked out of Europe and concentrating on top 4 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Guirassy is back and thus Stuttgart can win again. They deservedly beat Dortmund 2-1 with Guirassy scoring on his comeback (well he converted a penalty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryk Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Has there been any investigation as to why players collapsing on the pitch has been a thing in football over the last few years? I still remember Fabrice Muamba in Tottenham vs Bolton in 2012, and of course Eriksen at Euros, and there's been other incidences. It's not normal.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Well, that particular player had a known heart condition, that was discovered during a medical in 2017 (!), which made a transfer to Brighton fall through. He had a defilbrilator inserted some time later, which was triggered during a cup game in Austria in late 2020 (or was it 2021?). Anyway, he then decided the prudent thing to do was to remove the defibilator and continue his career without it. How he was allowed to play professionally with his medical history is a much better question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I don't think it is abnormal unfortunately. People have heart conditions that are difficult to detect and they're probably more likely to suffer problems doing something strenuous like playing sport. There are thousands of professional footballers these days, it's probably not surprising some of them are affected. Although in this case you do have to question whether he should have still being playing football considering he'd had a previous incident.

Rorshach Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) I have failed quite a bit in keeping you up to date on the progress of Bryne FK. I sincerely apologize. Today, as it happens, was the last game of the season, away to Raufoss, and Bryne produced a fine display away from home, controlling most of the match and winning it through a well-taken header from a free kick. I hear you're clamoring about who scored - it came from our defensive mid, Christian Landu-Landu. Well done him! Now, that win meant we climbed to sixth in the table, leaving us with a playoff spot. Now, this team is nowhere near Tippeliga standard (that's PL for those who wondered, shame on you for not knowing), but considering we've been fighting relegation the first two seasons we've been at OBOS-liga level, that's quite an achievement. Terrific work from our manager, Kevin Knappen. Small ETA: We passed Sogndal this last game. Sogndal have an up-and-coming, though I reckon, completely unknown manager (outside Norway) named Tore André Flo.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 So that should be game over in Liverpool - Brentford. So it looks like Arsenal and Liverpool will try to figure out who "wins the league while City wins the exhibition". Race for 4th will be interesting.

Mexal Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I can’t believe after all the dodgy calls Anthony Taylor as made, they still put him in charge of this match. PGMOL is so corrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why he ended up in the Albanian league. That association must have lax rules that allowed him to play. FIFA need to step in to ensure that there are uniform rules worldwide instead of just leaving it up to individual associations to decide.
