Chaos. Never seen anything like it.

Assume that that pen was 'missed' on purpose though, despite #10 making the fuss to get it.

ste game so far.

He'd been on for three mins & scored. Hopefully it'll persuade ACM to make the tts transfer permament.

Diouf subbed off.

Result!

Also, Andy Irving's joined Sparta Prague, brings a close to one of the oddest transfers we've made.

Squad now even weaker than when we kicked off vs spuds (which we won 2-1 biggrin ).

So they give us Soucek (who I thought was great yesterday BTW) and Coufal, and we respond by giving them Irving.
I think that will be the end of that relationship!

WH & SP are tied by their mutual shareholder, Kretinsky.

Good luck to Irving.

I only saw the contentious bits on TV but I assumed Senegal had a goal rued out and then the penalty awarded to Morocco because they were hosts - if you see what I mean.wink

Ref blew for a (soft) foul before Senegal scored so their "goal" wouldn't have counted.

The pen was also soft, but Diouf did have has arm on the Morrocan player. Once awarded the chaos ensued.

Good fun as a neutral, but a complete shambles of a match - it finished in pissing rain, which seemed appropriate.

Apparently the Senegal Manager later stormed out of the Press Conference as he was being jeered by the Moroccan press.

Watched the whole game and you could see it boil over. The ref blew as the ball went in the net, the senegal player jumped and headed the ball it hit the bar came out and went straight back in the goal it was literally a couple of seconds. It was never a foul. Then the Diouf pen, it was soft for sure, the forward made no attempt to get to the ball just fell backwards with his arms outstretched.

And yes even the commentators were saying Morocco have had the rub of the green all through the tournament on decisions. Even Senegal when they arrived for the final were give substandard training facilities and no security so their players were rushed by random fans in the street.

Anyway, yes Irving off for an undisclosed fee. Apparently we are taking a look at Charlie Cresswell AGAIN and even mention of Lacelles at Newcastle, who because of injury has only played 19 mins football so sounds like bang on a perfect Sully buy.

This is what pisses me off about this club. We've been interested in him for what seems like 6 months. Just buy him or back out. It's all the pissing about that annoys me. Brady and Sully at the root of it no doubt.

He shouldn’t be allowed to leave until he has scored more goals for us than he has scored against.
