From the outside, he didn't seem so bad.

From the outside, he didn't seem so bad.
Crappy match fixture schedules, poor and biased referee designations, awful management of open-air TV matches, absolutely ridiculous management of ticket prizes which led to half-empty (or even lower attendances, see Real Sociedad's last match yesterday) stadiums, constantly making provocative statements and ALWAYS pointing out he's a Real Madrid fan to excuse himself (Which shouldn't be that bad if he were doing an acceptable job, which is obviously NOT the case) and, despite signing several sponsorship contracts, STILL not solving (he slightly reformed it, but still not enough) the endemic problem with TV rights money
Maybe from the outside, he didn't seem so bad, but from the inside, he not only DID, but he managed to be even worse
To him: "Tanta paz te lleves como descanso nos dejas" as we say, and PLEASE, if you want to make something good for the league, don't present yourself for the elections, take the first flight to China and STAY THERE, for the rest of YOUR LIFE

Meanwhile in the JPL it's #ZulteWaregemWinsLol, and i most certainly wouldn't mind if it stayed that way! I'm curious to see how far they'll get in the play-offs though.
And Tommy: Sprimonts debut on the highest amateur level so far is a disaster. Hide in a cave. Or in the UK, but that's more or less the same as a cave.

Considering we made it to that division through play-offs having finished sixth in our division, literally the worst of any team in the First Amateur Division, I'd say it's not that surprising, but it's still a bit disappointing.
But hey. At least we're not Coxyde

He was filmed talking to undercover reporters posing as rich businessmen looking to invest in English teams. Allardyce offered them advice on how to overcome some of the transfer regulations in English football (such as third-party ownership, which was banned after Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano somehow ended up at West Ham in 2006), and offered to become their advisor for transfer dealings for a fee of £400,000.
Big Sam is a big idiot.
But what a win ratio...

Re: The Ali Dia Football/Soccer Thread
That being, the name of the divisons being screwed up.
In the professional league we have:
-1A (first pro division)
-1B (second pro division)
Things in provincial leagues work different, as A and B (and other letters) are equal level. But the inconsequences don't stop here.
We have the following national divisions:
-1 amateur
-2 amateur A
-2 amateur B
-2 amateur a
-3 amateur A
-3 amateur B
-3 amateur a
-3 amateur b
Looks ridiculous right? Well, the capital letters represtent teams with a Flemish membership, the lower case letters represent teams with a Walloon membership. So for example the team i support (Hades) is now in 'second amateur capital B'
You want to know why i got such a confusing personality? Look no further than my Only in Belgium section here.
In other rejectful news, Anderlecht had decided to put Olivier Deschacht who's been a defender for all his life, as a target forward in their game against Standard. A bluff substitute? Probably, coach Weiler seems to be the type of guy who does that kind of stuff every now and then. (interestingly, Deschacht has been named in the current matchfixing scandal). To put things more into context, the regular strikers were not injured at all.

This is just a weekly example of how bananas the games can be sometimes. Milan - Sassuolo is always eventful. You should watch this just for Locatelli's exquisite goal!
