Genuine career ender that. Not even a tackle just slid in and gave Marcelo nowhere to land.

Yeah massively unfortunate. Absolutely grim, that roll at the end did him no favours either

[labourRed]

Ouch. Almost not real. But not for faint hearted.

Like one of those impossible qwop running games.

Poor lad.

[Kenneth]

Very much like it.

I'm not watching that then, far too squeamish

Yeah it’s not something you can unsee.

Breiðablik is my team incidentally! My kids train with them, must've been weird for both of them......

This guy played and scored in the Icelandic lower leagues at the age of 14… managed by his dad then who gave him his debut at 13!

[ChesterDave]

No pocket money for him next week

That’s utterly hideous.

[Corndog]

He should be told to **** off.


Sick of pricks grabbing passports for financial reasons.

Boris Johnson, Rees Moggs and others are shining examples of who applied and got Irish passports. Just a tax avoidance method for them, no different for Bellingham in the long run.

I agree, you shouldn’t be able to get one unless you genuinely want to be Irish and can at least partially identify as that.

It doesn’t mean you need to be irish born but the opportunism post brexit or with some of the footballers in the past has been sad to see.

On my bucket list to see either River or Boca play a home game….. my buddy was at the derby - lunatic asylum

You don't even need to be Irish born or have some Irish in your background for me.

If you want the passport then you should be planning to live here for a while or maybe be planning to become a full citizen in time.

The "Granny" rule should not apply if you have no intention of living here or having anything to do with the country at an international level.

This crap of applying for an Irish passport just so you can work around the work permit and tax laws of a different EU country is wrong, same way it is wrong for the likes of Boris Johnson, Rees Mogg and other ****s to apply for one to help facilitate the wealth they moved out of the UK prior to Brexit going through.


If Bellingham wanted an EU passport, then he should have stayed at Dortmund for another year, made sure he was fluent in German and then pushed for an expedited passport.

Hell it might even have been possible to get one after three years if he was fully fluent as the usual seven and eight year processes seem to be extremely fast tracked in some cases (for rich ****s) if one can pass the integration course.

What if you've previously lived in Ireland?

Anyone playing this? It's just one per day, so it's not too addictive - but you can start over.
You have 9 attempts to guess 9 players who have played for two teams crossing each other in the grid.
My friends and I also try to compete who gets the player with the smallest percentage of guesses - just had one at 2.2%

It' much better than refreshing twitter at least
