“This would be such a classic *my team* thing to do” - every set of fans in the world about every conceivable scenario
Beyond a joke. Unbelievably bad decision. And the difference between Oxford sitting second and seventh tonight #oufc

Ireland press conference in Serbia cut short after FAI shut down questions from Israeli media related to the flydubai hijack and then a racism allegation directed at an Irish player which has been strongly refuted by the FAI. Some angry scenes in the room and afterwards.
Don't see many players score with a header from outside the box...
On a hat-trick!
Northern Ireland make it three and Ciaron Brown has scored two of them.

It's mad scrolling Twitter looking for quotes these days and it's just endless pages of clearly made-up quotes
Genuinely strange to think the majority of us will never watch Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in a live football match again. An actual end of an era.

Gavin Bazunu has released a statement on social media this evening explaining how he reached a decision that he has ‘not taken lightly’
“Thanks for giving me a bath mate”
🚨 Lamine Yamal tells The Guardian: “I went to Leo Messi and said: thank you”.
“I just thanked him a lot for everything he has done and how he’s the best. I’ve always believed he is the best”.
“I always try to distance myself a little from things that seem beautiful for show. The moment came from within. I saw him there, so I went to thank him for what he did for football, it came spontaneously”.

David Courell says there was a player vote in last 90 minutes with a 'significant majority' voting to play in the games
As such, the FAI have decided to proceed with the game

Developments with Ireland: My understanding is that Gavin Bazunu has indicated that he doesn't want to play in the game - a view expressed in meeting last night. And there are other players now deliberating over coming with him. Training delayed.

Nowhere else in the world does a city work so hard to not have a successful football team

In all the mad things I have come to expect from Oxford United and these owners, creating 9/11 themed American merch that they planned to release on 9/11 has even surprised me #oufc
