Barnet are off to a good start, beating newly relegated Yeovil Town 1-0 at the Hive.

The might Shrews are up and running with an excellent win and what a goal it was, from our left back on his league debut!

Congratulations. Hopefully not a typical result for Pompey......

It's too bloody early for all this to start again. End of August is about right.

I'd agree.

A winning start to the season for the world famous Glasgow Rangers.

Someone should tell the idiots who invaded the pitch that this was the first game of the season, not the last. The stewarding and policing of the Old Firm is an absolute joke, and Doncaster actually thinks improvements have been made? The man is deluded.

Anyway, I think a draw would have been a fair result, and despite losing it's not all doom and gloom as so many were predicting after the CQN.

Some subtle but sensible improvements re VAR in the EPL:

I don't suppose you'll be surprised to hear I couldn't disagree more about the result, kilmarnock didn't do near enough to deserve a point.

You may be equally surprised I agree with you about the idiots on the pitch and the stewards and policing, terrible.

I am surprised by neither! Thing with the idiots which will be interesting is that the footage of them is clear, so the authorities are going to have to come up with quite an excuse to do nothing.

Aye, I've been reading bits and pieces of that. The ticketing one will be funny, because the QR codes are only valid for one scan so I suspect some enterprising wags will have thought they and some pals will have been able to get in for the price of a single ticket.

Klopp was saying that Italy have 20 teams in the top division (same as ours) but start 4 weeks later than us, allowing players a 4 week holiday. So why dont we do the same? Pure greed from the people at the top.

I saw someone earlier trying to justify the fee paid by MU for Maguire by describing him as a “does what it says on the tin” kind of player.

Yeah, sure. Only trouble is, what it says on the tin is “Corned beef”.

" The old firm " weren't playing at Kilmarnock at the weekend.

Full scale deflection mode from some in the media.

Arsenal just got a bargain.
£25 million for Kieran Tierney ....

Sorry to see him go but it was probably inevitable.
I don't think he would have lasted many more years in Scottish football. The amount of kicking he took was unbelievable.
