    And they say they take the women game seriously. :doh:

    The DFL have moved Eintracht's match back a day to give them more time to recover from playing Chelsea & the whole of one set of matches have been postponed in Holland to help Ajax!

    I dont agree with shifting games to assist in Europe except where maybe a Monday night game is involved.

    I agree, although the explanation I saw about the Eredivisie made t clear it was for fairness in their own league, rather then for Ajax's benefit in Europe... I'll see if I can find a link to post.

    (Despite every single outlet in the UK that I have seen having headlines that say it is 'to help Ajax in the CL' - and implying that it's a bit cheaty.)

    It may well be to aid Ajax but they moved the entire schedule to keep it fair to all in the league.

    Not quite.

    How's your Dutch? :wink: https://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/betaald-voetbal/eredivisie/55147/wijzigingen-speeldata-onvermijdelijk

    Basically, Ajax are in the Dutch cup final and the CL semi. They are also challenging for the league title.

    So they have to reschedule matches, but also their league rules are that players have to have 2 days rest between matches. So the days they can move games to are limited, and they also have a rule (?convention) that the last 2 match days of the season, all matches KO at the same time. To complicate things, their game to be rescheduled is against a relegation candidate.

    If they just postponed the 1 Ajax game that has to be moved because of the CL, it 'would mean that only this match will be played after 12 May... Ajax plays for the championship and De Graafschap is in the danger zone for relegation ... this also gives De Graafschap more time to prepare for this perhaps decisive game than the other relegation candidates' and also to know the outcome of the other matches before they themselves play. (thanks, Google translate :ok: )

    You would have thought the womens cup final would have been scheduled for a day when there were no PL or few fixtures in the first place or make it an 7pm kick off

    Sadly it seems that despite all the statements from the FA about women's football they do not regard it as particularly important.

    Odd though how they don’t care about fans having already bought tickets and arranged travel when they move kick off time's for TV companies :hmm:

    West Ham have asked to show the game live on the big screens.

    Its on BBC1

  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Yes, but I don’t think you can just tune the big screens to BBC1.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    You could if you have a big remote.

    Off to my first classroom week of my health & safety degree course. I’ve been studying since Christmas but still don’t feel prepared.

    Hopefully there is a Spurs fan in the room. :biggrin:

    The womens cup final is £7.50 for an adult. The adult can take 4 children for free. £7.50 for 5 seats! My mate just paid £118 for one seat to watch city in the men's final!

    I'm not sure if this is genuine, but if it is, very poor from Sky Sports :lol:

    This is quite interesting, albeit from The S*n



    I'm surprised that the teams with Zaha and Salah in them only amassed 1 between them. As someone on Twitter said, Salah should have his own row.

    Arsenal clear at the top. Have they really been that mush worse than anyone else? Or just not as good at deceiving the officials :hmm:

    My Facebook memory popped up today for 2011 with me ranting about getting relegated and Grant getting the sack :wahoo:

    Mooj, you might be interested seeing as you're partial to a bit. :biggrin:

    I had to laugh, “he completed the London marathon in three minutes and fifty three seconds”

    Not a bad effort :lol:

    Haven't had pie and mash for ages, could well go for that, though I'm not sure that I agree that his "mega feast" is either mega or a feast, more like a breakfast starter.

    though funnily enough, I have just started training for a couple of marathons in September and October, with the plan of getting in a 50 miler next year as part of the requirement for a 100 miler in 2021 :)

    That's not how funny is defined in any dictionary I've ever seen! :nonono:

    Actually, I was recently chatting to a chap who has run the Spartathlon. Several times.
