Already going down suggests he dived which he clearly didn’t on those occasions. Has he done before, absolutely yes. But those today are stonewall penalties.

just seen the key incidents from the Brighton game, **** me Brighton must have paid the VAR off - incorrectly awarded a penalty then Leicester had 2 goals ruled out for offside neither of which were correct

A great ovation at the Spurs-Chelsea game for Jimmy Greaves, and fitting on the day of his passing that the 2 clubs he's most associated with should be meeting.

Britain's most local of derbies is underway at Tannadice, Currently 0-0.
I wonder if they made the away fans travel by bus from Dens Park.

It’s strange how often you get coincidences like that but as you said it was so fitting.

Exactly. Not only Southgate in the Euros. There were several instances of bringing on very late subs, for pens and subsequent misses.

Celtic lose at Livingston, and Rangers only manage a draw at home to Motherwell, great point for Grezza's Motherwell, who are ticking along nicely this season.

3 away league defeats on the spin for Celtic, and 6 defeats in 7 in all competitions this term, that's simply not good enough for a club of their stature.

Yes let's hope they can serve up a cracker in his memory, lots of bluster, but a lack of quality so far.

Chelsea looking strong contenders on this showing, and they're heading for another clean sheet and another 3 points.

Tasty encounter next week when Chelsea host City.

You might be right about the Celtic manager not up to much and gone soon.... They look to have made some good signings though from the little I've seen the Israeli winger looked good and the Japanese fella

Gonna be a real scrap between Chelsea, City and Liverpool for the league this year. Don't think United are on the same level, even with Ronaldo.

Already answered. Across the street from each other Dens Park and Tannadice.

Japanese striker is out for a few weeks, but despite their failure to net today, I don't think scoring goals will be Celtic's problem, it's keeping the back door shut that they need to rectify.

Just maybe there will be a genuine title race in Scotland this season, as neither of the Glasgow giants look that special in the early weeks of the campaign.

Yes the key word being side, they've always had talented individuals, but he's moulded them into a class outfit, who'll take some stopping this season.

Until they were relegated to the Conference, I'd imagine Notts County and Nottingham Forest were closer than the 2 Scouse clubs

ronaldo just incredible, players have lean streaks and struggle to find form, united resign him after 18 years and he scores in every game. what a footballer.
