Protecting the big clubs once again.
1 hour ago, Dr. Gonzo said:Why are they even doing this? It's not like big clubs don't regularly make the final for this cup (or any domestic cup final).
Champions League and Europa League expansion taking up more midweeks, and aren't always in the same midweek.
Champions League first league stage fixtures are the week of 17th September. Europa League doesn't start until the next week.
Seeding is to keep the teams in different competitions apart. Otherwise there is no day available to play the game.

Doing pretty well without him.

Mourinho was in charge for 10 away league games this season, and got 8 points. De Rossi has been in charge for 2, and they've already got 6 points from them.

Morata decides to tap in a ball just about to cross the goal line, and gets it ruled off for offside.

This referee is awful.
McGinn getting wiped out isn't a foul but that is?
Being cheated out of this.

An absolute cop out by FIFA. Either the South American bid was good enough to host it fully or not at all.

Monchi bankrupts the club and then fucks off. Second time he's done this...

Is this being shown in the UK anywhere?

Last time he left Sevilla, he ruined Roma. So hoping for Villa's sake it goes a lot better.

I think the idea of an expanded Club World Cup ever four years.
But it should only be the winners, and not the stupid 12 European teams that FIFA are proposing.

Anderlecht coach resigns, so he can become Queen's Park coach.
From Europa Conference League to the Scottish Championship.

The season may have only ended on Sunday, four days ago, but the draw has already been made for the Viaplay Cup for next season.
Starting on July 15th, we're only five weeks away from the new season kicking off.
With Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibernian getting byes to the next round, due to European qualification, Viaplay are probably not ecstatic about their potential audience for the group stage games. However, they always seem to throw up a few surprises and manage to have a couple managers under pressure before we even get to August and the league season kicking off.

Feeling good about this season so far. Getting the signings in that we need fairly early although still waiting on a striker which we'll need two of minimum. Roofe has finally had an operation which is apparently the reason he gets injured while sleeping, so hopefully it has worked but I can't see it making a difference tbh.
Pretty much had forgotten that he existed. Never seemed to be a first choice, but was a very good option to rotate in / come off the bench. Something that they've lacked with him out, and Defoe leaving at the start of 2021/22.
They've been linked with Lawrence Shankland, who would probably fit that role quite well. Would imagine he'd be happy enough with a rotational role at Rangers and is one of the best goalscorers in the league already.

Can he do it on a cold, wet, Tuesday night in Columbus though?

Let's see whose next, with Ange now gone to Spurs it might be a chance for a catch up time against Celtic, can't wait to see who their next manager is?
They have some key signings to make, trying to replace Kent and Morelos with no money coming in for them. Both didn't have their best season this year, but Morelos still managed to score some crucial goals.
Colak looks to be a good player, but after his great start to last season didn't have quite the impact after his injury.
Suspect there is still quite a lot of outgoing to come over the summer as well. Whether it's players that have dropped off, like Barisic or Roofe, players who have probably stayed a season too long, like Glen Kamara, or players that simply aren't good enough to compete with Celtic, like Scott Wright.
A concern Rangers fans might have is that they are constantly shopping in the lower leagues of England, where almost everyone is overpriced. With Ross Wilson having left the club, might be time to shift their strategy and look further into Europe (or possibly beyond) and find some hidden talents everywhere.

With McGregor retiring, about a year too late, it doesn't say much for their confidence in Jon McLaughlin.
Expecting Butland or Robby McCrorie to be their No.1 next season. McCrorie had a decent run of games towards the end of the season, and is coming to the stage of his career where he needs to be playing every week either at Rangers or at another club.
I remember Butland being pretty highly rated as a younger player, especially around the time he moved to Stoke. 9 Caps for England, but only 17 first team appearances in the last three seasons. Looks to be the perfect move for both player and club. A chance to resurrect his career, like Joe Hart has across the city, and a low risk player to bring in for Rangers.

In Scotland, they've had to move all of the League Cup games to weekends and have scraped the winter break to be able to fit in all the domestic fixtures amongst the expanded European competitions.
