Disrupting influence of Catalan players tbh

yovan

So that's why Van Gaal sold the Catalan players.

Is Holland a “white” territory now?

DJ

A 'white' territory? You mean everyone is a fan of Madrid now? Guess the fickle ones would be. Me, I don't care much, have no real favorites.

a million and one small things to **** the opposition, from having the grass left long in the corners of the pitch so his team's long balls wouldn't go out, to over-sugaring the opposition's tea urn

was succesful at cambridge with a horrific form of long ball football, right up until the moment all the other teams in the league worked out how simplistic it was to beat it, leading to them getting beaten every week, thus providing the inspiration for si coders as regards how the ai deals with tactics </BLOCKQUOTE>

exactly why I stopped supporting my home town team. Was absolute ***** to watch :thdn:

i've read about him before

on cold winter days he'd make sure the heating in the away dressing room was broken, maybe it'd be conveniently damp in there. And on hot summers he would make sure the heating was on full blast.

One of Souness' favourite tactics too :thup:

The highlight being playing Dominic Matteo as a left winger.

That happened when Real Madrid signed Figo in Portugal, especially in the media.

It seems Barça have lost a fan in Rafael already, at least according to the HSV researcher.

Gary peters at preston after they changed the rule about players coming out not being offside anymore.

We used to line up two defenders right in front of the opposition keeper in a mini wall when we had a free kick within striking distance outside the box, as the free kick was struck the two defenders would start running out thus not offside yet still clearly in the keepers line of sight.

We did it a few times until gary parkinson scored doing it live on tv some friday night against carlisle.

It was promptly banned by the FA.

Still nice try tho

Another part of that legend is that Beck ordered the groundsman to leave the grass longer in the corners of the pitch to slow the ball up. No idea how true it is.

Yeah thats common across football not just Beck. Also heavily watering the corner areas to hold the ball up.
