Can't believe Scotland have finally qualified for a tournament after a penalty shoot out. Never thought they would ever qualify again.

Not in the top flight, the Eliteserien, relegated to the Obos ligen last season, but now promoted. And the year that Bodoe/Glimt win their first ever Eliteserien title as well!!!

I see that Liverpool's manager is whining yet again about fixture congestion.
Apparently, he expects to finish the season with fewer than 11 players.
So here's some advice:-
1. Get your team knocked out of the Champions League at the first opportunity. 2. Recall the 8 players who you've loaned out to other clubs because you've got more players on your books than you need. 3. In the next transfer window, instead of spunking £20 million on a player who you've only picked once so far this season (in 12 games), why don't you sign four players for £5 million each. Or twenty for £1 million each. 4. Teach your players about social distancing, so they don't keep having to self isolate because they've got no self discipline. 5. Don't sign international players. That way they'll get time off during international breaks. 6. Don't train your existing first team squad of 29 players quite so hard. The poor darlings, almost half of them might have to play a match on Saturday. 7. Go down the local job centre, and see what its like for the millions of people who have no work because of the pandemic, and aren't allowed to spend time with their friends. But do get a little enjoyment in their lives from watching their favourite team play football. 8. Shut the f up. You sound as pathetic as Jose Mourinho.

Classic Klopp, Oh no my 75m CB is injured, our 600m squad cant handle all the games, 3 subs isn't enough to gain an advantage over the smaller teams, he needs to check his privilege
He has a team that won the CL and finished the league with just shy of 100 points two years in a row and he is still moaning

Oooh I thought you meant they'd moved. Yes I'm more a brann fan but good to see B/G winning. My favourite lower tier club is hamkam.

So up to 2000 or 4000 fans let back in to those teams that find themselves in tier 1 after the lockdown is over? Could be a lifleine for lower league teams.

My first football match in over a month tonight, watching Marske United beat Warrington Town 3-1 in the FA Trophy 1st Round (behind closed doors). It's the second round in a row that we've beaten a team from the division above after we beat FC United of Manchester in the previous round.

And did the media make any of these points in press conferences? No.
I'm disgusted by the media coverage of the game. It's worse than Pravda. The MSM ignore pretty much everything outside the Premier League until a club goes bust and then it's all sackcloth and ashes - without wondering why the smaller clubs are suffering.
Meanwhile half of the Premier League cheated to get there and the media ignore that. The Panama Papers have loads of stuff about tax fiddling from clubs and the media ignore that. Wolves have an illegal relationship with an agent and the media ignore that. Grealish spends more time on the turf than Alan Titchmarsh and the media ignore that.
I'm convinced that the FA/PL clubs are putting pressure on. If you report negative stories about us, we will bar you access to press conferences and matches. Hence the coverage is so f***ing Stalinist.

I have the same issue with Whitehawk There has to be a high chance that they will end up splitting the leagues in some way to be able to end the season.

Be lovely to go to Dereham matches but the league that they are in is the only one not playing matches still in the country. There are several leagues still not playing. The three leagues at steps 3 and 4 have suspended fixtures until the next tier review. A number of leagues below that level were suspended too, though in the case of the Northern League, a number of teams are now playing friendlies ahead of the league resuming. However, FA competitions are still going ahead as planned, hence last night's game. Got drawn away to Spennymoor in the next round, being played behind closed doors next Tuesday.

Ah ok. Dereham put a press release out saying other leagues at same keel were playing. They said it was still shut down due to tier 2 and tier 3 teams in same divisions. Although I was confused as Dereham's division is all tier 2.

Allardyce in for Bilic at West Brom. Hilarious. Should we have a sweepstake on how many weeks he will last ?

Not overly surprised Bilic got sacked. 4 wins in his last 25 games, fantastic result against City, odd choice to replace him but Bilic just isn't a very good manager. I mean he got the job after they ditched club legend Darren Moore for coming 3rd!
