The Football.....

[Dec66]

Well, I never felt more like singing the Blues...

I don't know what I enjoyed most today; Rom scoring four, Barkley celebrating his goal before he'd scored it, or Niasse scoring the winner against Beelzebub's Spawn (told you there was a player in there somewhere)

1-0 away win for Forfar today against 2nd placed Arbroath, which extends their lead to 11 points; as someone on FB pointed out this means that Arbroath supporters can still count the points difference on their toes

Pic of the day for me.

Note position of the ball.

Different sport, but pic of the day for me is Laidlaw standing with his arms raised aloft milliseconds after kicking the final penalty of the match in the rugby, the ball did go through the posts a few seconds later by which time he was turned towards the crowd

There's no easy games any more... hope Hull have it in mind when they play Arsenal next week.

Love the way the score on the screen says 6-3 just before Barkley slots the 6th. The TV score keeper must have shared his confidence that he could make no mistake

It was really shaky at 3-2 today. Bournemouth came within a whisker of making it 3-3 but for once we got the lucky break and then went on to win handsomely.

Or it was a replay, hence why Barkley is celebrating

Good day all round really;

Everton 6
Everton Reserves 4
Lukaku 4
Bournemouth 3
Hull 2
Niasse 1
Liverpool 0

I'm sure the photo is of a replay, which explains why the score says 6-3 before Barkley has netted the 6th Everton goal. But he actually did celebrate scoring before kicking the ball to score.......could have been very embarrassing for him if he had miskicked it.

Here's the highlights from yesterday's Arbroath v Forfar match. I am not posting it as an example of flowing football nor as the goal was anything special, more to highlight the hill up to the war memorial that you catch a glimpse of from time to time (top left side of screen visible when corners are being taken). I used to have to run up and down that fecking hill every training session when I played for Arbroath U16s; over and over and over. It had a very short term effect of making my sick, a short term effect of improving my fitness, and a longer term effect of having an enduring dislike for any war memorial of a similar design.

I hate football again.

Impressive goal scoring by Dembele in the St Johnstone v Celtic match.

He came on as a sub in the 58th minute, scored a penalty in the 59th and by the 85th minute had completed a hat-trick.

I hate football again.

I hate late goals against like that.
