Not sure I could live with myself betting on the ****.

 

Also, looking at the team they're putting out, I still think they should win. As does everyone else given that Alashkert are out to 10/1.

Used to work with a Dane. He could spit over the border into Schleswig-Holstein from his gaff. Hated Germans. Backed West Germany or Germany for £100 every major finals. Simply so he'd be less pissed off if they won.

I can't ever see myself doing that with Ing-Ger-Lund though

Ffs Morelos... 

[DMCs]

Gotta score that man.

I can see the logic. Not tempted to put it into practice. A double on Celtic/Rangers to win every week knowing that most of the time you'd have money back.

But every week a little more of your soul dies.

Do Armenians not care about football? The best team in the biggest city can barely attract a few thousand fans for a Europa qualifier.

Never understand why teams rigidly stick to the playing it from the back when the opposition are pressing so high. Mix it up occasionally.

I hope they care even less later on...

Bare bones on the bench but a strong starting 11 which should see us through. If we go out it will be akin to the Progres fiasco.

 

I take it that Hogarth is a goalie? Any relation to the ex stirling albion gk?

[Jinky67]

should be doing better there

[TheScarf]

That fat fuck is useless.

[shugster]

What a waste of a chance

Son of Myles.

With Hogarth and Lowry we have real artistry on the bench.

[ropy]

Imagine if he had taken a shot

[SANTAN]

I love Morelos and rate him very very highly but my word he has zero composure, I actually never expect him to score when through cleanly. 

[Suspect Device]

Morelos showing why no-one's signed him for millions? 

 

[shugster]

Haggis not as good as his dad

[Jimi Shandrix]

Morelos doesn't look fit. Or interested. That's two pretty horrendous efforts tonight so far.

Black pudding? I'd tend to agree.

I could write a bulky tome on the decline of football in Eastern Europe. I haven't kept current, though. In Soviet days, things were semi-franchised. Ararat Yerevan were the Armenian club that Moscow favoured. Nationalism was tolerated to an extent in the main stadiums in distant republics, so long as those chanting were good pro-Soviet Communists. Ararat qualified for Europe through the USSR League. In a lot of cases, the big clubs in the newly independent ex-Soviet republics were fairly easy targets for new regimes... and, of course, they lost all their best players to Russia or to Western countries when the Soviet Empire crumbled.

Money-laundering Mafioso clubs, founded in the 21st century, now win titles. Very few people support them.
