Jerseybean Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 How about all us bored City fans get behind Forest Green Rovers (and just try to forgive the R bit of their name) in their play-off game(s)? Starting with their game away to Tranmere on Friday. Personally I’d be delighted if they get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always makes me chuckle about British clubs doing well in Europe - foreign owners, foreign coaches and mostly foreign players, only thing British are the fans! I guess that’s the way of the world these days so there’s really not many other options if you want to follow a true ‘British’ club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I’m not bored, yet, but with the last three games being Sat Tues Sun it’s taking a bit of adjusting to that I haven’t got football in a couple of days time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even city now have their fair share of foreign players, as you say it's the way things are now the genie is well and truly out of the bottle, and there is seemingly no going back to the good old days when most teams had players that lived in the area.

If I get chance to watch it, want to take a close look at Tyler Walker (Des’s son on loan from Forest). Thought he had something about him on loan at Bolton last season, and has had a good season on the goalscoring front this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the Ajax team, expecting eleven new Dutch names to get me tongue around, only to find just four native Netherlanders in their starting line up. Same for Liverpool - four Brits - and Barcelona - four Spaniards. Tottenham started with three Ingerlunders, although that would've been four had Kane been fit.

I think in Spain they’re not allowed to have foreign owners? I don’t think they welcome foreign coaches (except the Blagdon Lioness of course) into their clubs either. Just makes you realise how unusual / lucky we are having a English owner and coach at Ashton Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an example of how the game has changed, under the old 3 foreign players rule, if it were re-implemented tomorrow a lot of clubs in European competition would be screwed. Essentially, this rule ran until European Courts kicked it out in late 1995, unsure when it started but a club could have 3 starters who were foreign and 2 home grown foreigners- probably linked to academy. Example. Christensen could've started for Chelsea as he was academy based. A difference would be of course that Ajax have lots of Dutch players in their squad so could make up the shortfall quite easily, some clubs not so much. Incidentally, under the old foreign players rule, even Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh counted as foreign- it was English aside from 3 foreign players and 2 home grown academy players- same would go for any other nation. Hence, Robertson and Ben Davies would have been foreign. Foreign opponents this week, I'll look this up later- just for a bit of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Man U getting tonked by Galatasaray because Fergie could only picked Cantona or Hughes, not both. He picked Cantona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
