Football has had an issue with time wasting and momentum killing for a long, long time. Players rolling about, taking forever to take a set piece....
But now we are in a position where Refs and VAR officials / processes are the worst culprits for wasting time and momentum killing.

Watching the goal and assist from FC Nordsjaellands Prince Amoako Junior🔥
1st goal > Good run, well found by the long pass, lovely first touch and a lovely little outside of the foot finish.
Assist > Def mistake, and he's in a great spot to take advantage, and shows the awareness to pass to Egeli

A memory....
When I was at primary school, many moons ago....
I remember buying this book for £2, and as a football mad kid who loved reading it was perfect.
Much better than the guff that publishers add popular names to these days.

It's really strange that with so many MCO models in Europe that Crystal Palace haven't found the loopholes that numerous other clubs found to get past flimsy rules
Hopefully Palace get reinstated to the Europa League quickly

On initial look I 100% agree with Ryo
I'm surprised by news about Hayato Inamura 's potential transfer to Celtic . Feels a bit early for him to leave this summer.
Very good with his feet but I still have concerns about his defending.
Just my initial impressions, I'll take a deeper look if this is actually true.

Loving that Channel 4 and associated channels are showing the U21 European Championships for free across the UK. It's still early doors but the games I've seen have all been worth my time.

After looking at the pros and cons of co-op agreements in Scotland I thought the SFA were at least trying to engage their brains.
This morning I look at the Elite academy fixtures for 25/26. A 9 team league for the u19s and only 16 games and it looks like u17s are the same
Arghhhhhhhhhhh
