Football face palm thread

[TBM]

To start us off...


Blackpool have been forced to apologise after playing Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire' over their PA system before Saturday's game against Bradford City.

[Brosef Stalin]

The sort of thing only a scouser could get offended by...

Did they play Disco Inferno as well

Is this a generic thread?

If so how about:

15:34
"What a great substitution by the manager! Fabianski should have caught the initial ball rather than tried to catch it. But Tottenham have equalised through doing what I said they needed to do - take a pot-shot from distance and see what happens. Kyle Walker's shot wasn't going in, but Nacer Chadli was alert."

Charlton's club statement, which looks unfinished and perhaps accidentally published:

Dear Fans,

Last Sunday, some individuals did not come to The Valley to watch the game and support the team, but came to create disorder on the pitch and interfere with the players and the game. Disorder which is, allegedly, needed to drive change in ownership and management.

Whom would they expect the club to be sold to? How long would a sales process take? Is it easier to sell the club when it is in League One rather than Championship?

Some individuals seem to want the club to fail. This is a confused approach, since following this logic leads to exactly the opposite of what we all want: staying in the Championship.

Allegations regarding the CEO are misrepresented* and are continuously used as a method to discredit and fuel personal abuse, hatred and with a risk to personal safety.

Although certain individuals tell you it does not happen, in recent weeks Roland Duchatelet has met the fans, the CEO has met with several different groups of fans and the communications team have attended several fans meetings. We will continue these meetings and constructive dialogue with fans.

We have 9 games left in which we have to get 6 points more than our competitors.

The team just got 7 points out of 3 games.

We still have the chance to make it happen with the support of the fans until the very last game. We must believe it is still possible. Every football fan knows the 12th man is a crucial factor in the success on the pitch.

*I think the difference is also because fans don't see themselves as customers and {…} they go to the restaurants with their families every week and they go to the cinema but if they aren't satisfied with the product will they go and scream to the people in charge of it? No they don't, but they do it with a football club and that's very weird (meaning unique) because they feel a sense of ownership of a football club and that's a really difficult balance of how you try and engage with fans and make them, incorporated into some of the decisions of the club, {…}.

Talk about getting the fans on board.

Reminds me of Swansea visiting Elm Park.

How much did he have on there being an own goal?

[Brum Royal]

TBF it's a good finish from that angle

I'd say very few on here could do that deliberately

And to think people w@nked themselves silly when Roberto Carlos did the same for Real Madrid.

I guess this can go in this thread in the absence of a ViLOLLOLa thread, and he hasn't been arrested. Gabby Agbonlahor suspended by Villa after going on a laughing gas and booze binge the day the club were relegated.

[TFF]

It'll be interesting to see how that progresses. Obviously they don't want the ugly pcunt (or his wagebill) in the Champ but is going out illegal? Is laughing gas (and no proof he was using it) illegal?

This has 'terminated by mutual consent' written all over it.

He's notably been "sick" on match days a few times over the years, after being spotted by fans in clubs/pubs the night before. Apparently it's well known by other clubs and why Villa have never got shot of the bloke.
