Fabulous comedy moment from Australia.
Bunch of donkey league players trying to do the play-out-from-the-back-as-if-we're-world-class thing & ending up looking stupid. I wish teams would stop with this shit. Despite the obvious entertainment value when you don't have any attachment to the team in question it's getting ****ing irritating.

Not seen this instance.... But totally agree with playing out from the back shit. Are there stats available for goals conceded from pissing about at the back vs goals scored from starting with pissing about at the back?

This is completely correct but it's the result of something that's happened over about the last ten years: the politicisation of everything and the expectation that every corporation, public body or sports team should make strong political statements on a regular basis to clarify that it's on the right side.
We now live in a country where your bank lets you know which side it supports in a war in Europe, as if we would have thought it supported Russia had it not made its position clear.
I would love it if football could become more about football and less about point-making but I can't see how this can be unravelled. The dominant narrative on certain political issues is that 'silence is violence' and therefore being apolitical is just as much of a sin as overtly being on the wrong side.

There's more pace at a pensioner's sitting down party than there is in that Belgium defence. It's like three Vestergaards back there.

Whole team is having to play 20 yards deeper to cover the ****ing zombies at CB.
Too old & too slow for this level. If Martinez can't see that then he's exactly the **** all of a manager I've always thought he was. The better teams will destroy them if he doesn't change it (which he won't)

‘I’ll be disguised though won’t I?’
‘Yeah but as a terrorist!’

One of my favourite scenes in any film.
'I disguised my voice though, innit.'
'I've got the IRA voice'
