Haven't done the currency conversion yet, but is it normal to charge academy players?

 

Thats £320 sub+ £70 for a shirt and shorts.

I'm sure I read on here they charge kids in their academy for their kit. No idea if true.

Would love to see Chris Martin signing for someone else on deadline day.

One of those players, who whilst he wasn't blessed with loads of attributes or ability, he had totally mastered his own game and knew full well how to use it to good effect.

Really difficult opponent to play against and the number of goals scored was a huge bonus.

Didn't the story go that Cotts bumped into him whilst in a gym on his hols in Dubai? Asked him if he fancied it and the rest is history?

Marvelous signing for us.

I see minnows Mauritania knocked out Algeria. They had never won a game at the finals before. They might even still qualify themselves as one of the best 3rd placed sides.

Mental last ten minutes in the Cameroon/Gambia game.

The drama continues. The decisive group games have been great so far.

Wouldn't surprise me;

"Disaster waiting to happen. Some major defects ready to unveil themselves apparently - to do with drainpipes or something "

"I got into so much trouble about that from the person that told me. Glad I didn't say any more."

 

Not the dodgy drainpipes again...

Some amazing final group games yesterday. Seems everything happened in injury time to decide places. It's just so typical of the AFCON.

Great to see some of the smaller nations making a mark.

What on earth is happening to Robins TV … No stream until kick off the drops it as it goes to studio.

All you get is buffering

There as no pre, half time or post match studio stuff today. They only covered the game then it went to a title card on screen. I assume it was something to do with the international broadcast for them not to bother with the studio. It should be back to normal for the next league game.

Typical Championship type game. 2 good sides going at it. An enjoyable point today.

I’ve tried a few and it’s the same message for every country. I pay for robins tv yet I’m probably going to have to watch it via illegal stream… it’s 2024 and they still can’t get their shit together

Check the list here https://www.bcfc.co.uk/city-men-news/watford-on-robins-tv-in-selected-overseas-countries/

I'm VPN from Romania and it's working ok. The actual programme hasn't started yet, just a placeholder there, i suspect it will start just before 3pm.

Edit: RTV coverage now started.

Cannot wait to see the images of the concourse

Start cancelling those train tickets and hotels sagheads.

3-5 or 3-4 then whatever up top.

What a terrible goal. Gift.

It was but I still can`t get my head round fans not being able to celebrate until about five minutes after the goal. 

Agree. Crap for the goalscorer as well. It's all about the moment.

Not one you see everyday but correct call.

Buried it!

1-0 Cape Verde

Been the better team but i feel there will be a few more goals in this one.

It was a pen but did you see the handball by the Egypt player just before the tackle? A pity VAR never went back to that.

Missed it, was just having some dinner. Would not be surprised to see Egypt treated favourably, among others.

Gutted for them. So close to a famous win.

Egypt - Mozambique is absolutely sensational (on Sky right now). Not your usual stodgy AFCON game it’s been end to end. Salah and co scored after 1 minute but the rank outsiders who have never won a game at the tournament in their history and have a 40 year old running the show, have looked slick on the break and in transition from then on and have now just scored twice in a minute in the second half to go ahead on the hour. Egypt absolutely rattled and all the local fans supporting Mozambique.

It's been a great watch. Major upset incoming...

First half we continued to frustrate ourselves when the game's there for the taking.

Second half we were all over rhe shop and tactically a shambles.

Looked jaded as the game went on. We need a couple of First team ready players ASAP.

You can't keep a good man down. Good luck Flem.

I think we are moving him on at just about the right time. I would of thought the summer but if this allows a signing to come then it's a good move.

For a player signed in a period when we were spending a lot of money and then extening on reduced terms, he's been very good value for money and has contributed a lot in his time here. Model pro.

Very best of luck to him.
