I've just seen highlights of their so-called 'friendly' against Real Madrid. I swear if referees were to do the job they are supposed to be doing the rags would finish every game with only eight players. They truly are the Wimbledon of the 21st century. Hoofball tactics, crunching, knee-high 'tackles,' shirt-pulling and diving theatrically to the ground when an opponent is near.

I find it disgusting that in this digital age, with tv cameras covering almost every blade of grass during a game, and virtually every person in the crowd with an iPhone, that nothing more is made of the way they kick and punch their way through games.
Watching the highlights I was incensed by the apparent indifference show by the officials towards the rags' thuggish brutality. They caused a Wrexham player to suffer a punctured lung the other night, and could easily have caused a life-changing injury to one the Madrid players.


I have a strong sense of foreboding about the new season, because sooner or later one of these knuckle-draggers is going put someone's life in danger with their reckless brutality. And it could be one of ours.

Just seen Martinez challenge on Bellingham.

One day he will do it to a player who's not going to melt away and will get a slap.

The Argentine Warwick Davis, I can’t see this great player world class etc, just see a slimes snivelling little shithouse , who was tortured by Erling.

We've got plenty of tough fuckers to sort the rag shithouses out.

And plenty of bent referees and officials to ensure our players don't see the 90-odd minutes out.

they are getting giddy about him playing out from the back , what they seem to massively forget is that they dont have any centre backs or full backs who are comfortable on the ball or receiving it in tight areas.

Playing out from the back requires discipline from the keeper. I've not seen the first goal, just read about it. Apparently he was outside his box ahead of his defenders and put a weak header straight to a Madrid player and from that they scored.
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle of poo.

i dont think it worse than the scouse accent but its pretty close

Agreed. Scouse is a whole different level altogether.

Getting giddy about onana and "not getting battered" by madrid. They looked distinctively ordinary and they played it like a competitive game.
