Orion1871 Charlie Savage starts as Wales become the first top 50 ranked nation to fail to beat Gibraltar.

Makes Scotland's 2-0 win against them look like an impressive result.

I think it could be a few months until cashflow issues come to a head again. This time of year brings season ticket cash, solidarity payments from the PL and the opportunity to sell players if necessary. Plus there could be a big Olise windfall coming in. Would have been nice for that money to help...

Would we have to go into administration for this to happen? I don't think so. Club defaults on the loan, Chiron are entitled to seize the shares. What percentage of the club shares are still owned by Dai? Surely he wouldn't have put a controlling amount of shares at risk, would he? What would happe...

Believe the issue is that the PL want to outlaw clubs being sponsored by companies owned by the same people who own the club. Not quite sure .why Citeh are kicking off as presumably the alteration would only apply when renewing/negotiating new deals. I'm guessing it's to do with people connected to...

• Jeriel Dorsett - Montserrat
• Coniah Boyce-Clarke - Jamaica
• Charlie Savage - Wales
• Tivonge Rushesha - Zimbabwe
• Tyler Bindon - New Zealand

Not reassuring. I imagine we're not going to have a takeover for months at the earliest now.

Cash flow and revenue are not the same thing Cash will be used when required Revenue allocated to relevant months simply as an accounting treatment For the benefit of others, it's the same with costs. You might have to pay a transfer fee on set dates, maybe even fully up front but you may choose to...

Apparently one of the trialists who played over the weekend is 18yo Spurs midfielder Billy Heaps. Which may be my new favourite footballer name. The Tottenham website says: Billy Heaps hails from Stevenage and played for his home-town club before joining us as a 13-year-old. A talented central midf...

Bindon confirmed in the New Zealand squad for the Oceania Nations Cup, which starts on the 15th June: https://x.com/ReadingFC/status/1798279661677679067

Sutekh CBBC called up by Jamaica for World Cup qualifiers against the Dominican Republic and Dominica next week. He is joined in the same squad by Michael Hector and Mikhail Antonio.

Good to see he's involved again. IIRC, this is the first time he's been in the Jamaica squad since his injury.

Just read that Arda Guler (the teenager at Real Madrid with all the crazy hype) is the first ever Turkish player to win the Champions League. Surprised at that. I'm surprised by that too. Guler didn't even come on the pitch in the final, nor played any minutes in this season's tournament (from what...

Brogue 777 deal with Everton is officially off

What happens now? Everton can't be in the greatest financial shape and another buyer isn't going to complete a sale quickly.

Had seen enough football matches to know exactly how that game was going to go after that first half Agreed. Dortmund simply didn't take their chances and were always going to struggle to get back into the game after going 1-0 down. Real Madrid didn't do much up until about ten minutes before the g...

Winston Biscuit Great half from Dortmund. Kind of feel they may regret not going ahead though

They've looked like the only side that was going to score in that half - Real Madrid haven't offered anything so far.

I think the one-on-one was the best chance IMO; touch was far too heavy though.

If he is found guilty, that'll be a long ban. What with Howe and Bowen banned and Pang nowhere to be seen, who will oversee transfers etc. The new owners, must be wondering what sort of madhouse, they are buying. The madhouse gets even madder. Wouldn't it be nice if SJM still run the club? It does ...

What are the rules regarding bets on other clubs? As I understand it, under FA rules you can't bet on any football match if you're involved in football above the National League North/South and the Women's Championship. You can't bet on any match or competition your team is involved with below thos...

Mid Sussex Royal I goal in 2 seasons and he's under contract anyway so a non starter

As a loanee, it may be possible. I'd guess Charlton and Stockport could be more likely to get him if Sheffield Wednesday want to sell him this summer.

James Earnshaw: Reading DoF, Mark Bowen, charged with allegedly placing 95 bets on football matches from 2022-2024 by FA. Has until June 7 to respond.
