A Parachute of Greens
Gareth Bale parachuted out of football with a bagful of greens, one of football’s biggest heists, daylight robbery. Bale who has strangely adopted the Dutch inheritance of the spoken word the ‘yeah’, comic overtones, Bale thinks it’s a cool dude intellect, lost count of the repetitiveness, too many tangerines Gareth, the starter for the worded ‘yeah’.

Bale’s good old Jolly at Real Madrid ran over a three periods to contract expire pretending to participate in football while bagging the greens slugging it out on the Madrid bench for one’s warm up to prep for the golf links, all those green shoots on the links, sniff the greens. Bale the philosopher, the Bale quote on player’s welfare ‘greed can harm people’s welfare’ the world greed manifested itself with the Welshman does he know of the word hypocrisy? Is it a ‘yeah’ to that, how’s your welfare Gareth, seems good to me, the stash stashed on a parachute of greens, bailed out, link to article Sept 1^st 2022 ‘The House of Deceit’.

A Seeding Con
The FA come Premier League which ever you prefer, have pulled their latest con trick to seed the Premiership clubs involved in European competition to protect the elite clubs from being drawn against each to operate from the third round. The Football League club were not consulted to play out alongside the FA Cup’s scrapping of replays, it gives confirmation that a regulator is imperative. The pyramid system needs to be protected this is the structure of English football, not the Premier League.

Wolves at the Door
Wolverhampton Wanderers have initiated a resolution to the Premier League on voting rights activated to scrap the VAR with the Wolves growling at the door on the club’s gripe of the VAR decisions against the club with alleged dreadful errors, a yes vote from fourteen clubs on the proposals would push through the vote to consign the VAR to the knacker’s yard.

It has to be said that VAR is not going to improve, the VAR operatives do not have a fundamental understanding of the game, they shortfall in many areas, the constant interruptions, long delays are of nuisance value, football is a free-flowing sport not to be constantly stopped while the ball is in orbit. Simon Jordan of Radio Talk claimed that the supporters do not have a right to be heard on the VAR issue, that’s disrespectful, pebbledash, the supporters should always be valued, they are the life blood of football, the oxygen. It’s been deemed by Jordan that the usual or near on suspects finishing in the top four will not vote to kickout VAR with the need to adjust to Euro matches with VAR in other countries, from pebbledash to balderdash which ever you prefer Manero questions the VAR figures laid out into the public domain by the PGMOL the professional game of modern officials stating that the system has a 96% accuracy rate as opposed to the pre VAR stat of 82%, if it is so accurate why the uproar? Roar you Wolves. They can flaunt any figure out, the figures are as much use as a sun-drenched arse on a kiltering hot day.

A majority nineteen votes to one kept the Wolves at the door with the Premiership clubs voting to keep the VAR, so no more moaning then about the VAR, is that right? The PGMOL have set out a series of revamped guidelines to improve the system and its reputation, the points of note highlighted, fewer interruptions to the flow of the games, VAR to engage more with supporters and to improve the training to increase transparency and communications around VAR. It has to be said that the majority of supporters across the landscape don’t want VAR, their voices need to be heard, is anyone listening?

Red Stained City
115 charges pending v Manchester City so the club retort to rumble in their own shit v the Premier League stating that the financial rules set in place to clubs spending are unlawful. The City end game is for the PL League to drop the charge sheet, the official heading being that City challenge the rules on associated party transactions. City want the present system of the fourteen club votes needed to pass a resolution to be reduced or squashed, the power play would then be handed to the elite in its entirety, the near on ending of the Premiership as we know it, there’s nothing like shitting on your own doorstep, the stench from City stinks, the downward spiral on the pyramid system would be catastrophic, link to article Oct 26^th 2023 ‘The Magnificent Pyramid’ Part 1. The 900 million pounds empowered to the Football League clubs is now in jeopardy, the most hated club in England Manchester City to shit on your own doorstep is the lowest of the low, all badged up, on the Blue Mooners newfound hatred.

England v Serbia

England opened their group C match v Serbia with England retaining ball possession for long periods. Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice’s influence on the team was evident and on 13 minutes Walker plays Saka in behind the Serbian lines whose resulting cross was met with a slight deflection into the path of Jude Bellingham at the back post who powered the ball into the top corner with a direct header.

England continued to dominate but Serbia could still threaten with Mitrovic’s snapshot on the edge of the box petering wide. Into the second half and Serbians foothold in the game gained momentum with Mitrovic’s threat becoming more evident forcing Pickford to save lowdown to smother with the Serb closing in inside the five yard box. England responded with Harry Kane forcing the Serbian goalkeeper to palm the ball onto the crossbar, England closed out the match to claim victory one to nil.
