AOB: Anyone watching the Ryder Cup?

I'm at psychedelic fest tomorrow and Saturday, but I should hopefully get the last day's 'action' in.

I dont waste my money at bars, drinking with friends watching the game at home or somebody's house is so much cheaper. For half the price we're cooking better food, drinking more great beer, and have a bigger crowd cuz not everybody can make it too the bar. Now somebody's wife usually gets pissed off but they get even MORE pissed off when we go to bars so fuck em if they dont like us.taking over the house

i'll try to catch that meyser…serserser derby this weekend though. sounds like a lot of fun.

i had to google that. golf?

I was never big on golf but started watching a few opens last year. Wouldn't say I'm hooked or anything but it's good stuff. And lovely scenery.

Almost as far off topic but the Dolphins come to London this weekend. I was in Regent Street today and they've lined it with banners. Dolphins v Raiders. Kind of wish I'd got tickets.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 09.25.2014, 07:19 PM

Its too bad every year we send shit teams to London, y'all deserve an epic Ravens-Steelers game or even better a Niners-Seahawks brawl.. At the least send Tom Brady's bitch ass over there or something! A great Falcons-Saints rivalry?? I know, send Manning Broncos and Brady's Patriots and y'all can have the fanboy hyped game of London history!

More on rivalries... last night the Dodgers clinched their division by beating the hated Giants IN Los Angeles. Not only have we been beefing with them since 1883 (!!!) and that BOTH teams ONLY MOVED to California so they could remain in the same division to continue the rivalry.. but this game was a chance for the Giants to clinch a Wild Card playoff berth.. So not only did we steal the division from those bastards, we hurt their own chances of making the playoffs..

Now THAT is a rivalry with SUBSTANCE, with something actually on the table to lose..

Speaking of which, tonight the New York Giants play the Washington R*****S on Thursday Night Football.. The winner goes 2-2 and has a solid chance at competing for the division with the Phillie Eagles, the loser goes 1-3 in that division and has less than 9% chance of even making the playoffs even with TWELVE more games left to play.. so literally only a quarter into the season and either the Giants or the R******s have a critical chance to thwart a nemesis rival while solidly advancing their own chances

tuned it at almost halftime to see schalke 2- dortmund 1.

fun fun fun

ps - score remained the same but what a fun game!

noticed that liverpool/everton played while i was sleeping….

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 09.27.2014, 01:17 PM

Saw a few minutes of the everton-liverpool derby this morning before heading out to Churdch.. meh! The game was good but like I said with nothing really on the table to lose but pride and bragging rights whats the big deal? If my Ravens lose a big game to the Steelers, YEAH IM FUCKING PISSED, and yeah, ill hear some shit about it on monday BUT my own consolation as a ravens fan, indeed my loud retort to any motherfucker talking shit is, "so what? We can still make to playoffs yo!"

It wasn't a great game but you make it sound like neither team was playing for anything besides bragging rights. Neither of them have started the season well and desperately need to get back on track. Today's result won't make or break either of their seasons but both needed a win not just for the points but for the confidence boost.

And Jagielka's goal was brilliant.

but that is my whole point, on thursday the washington r*******s lost A SINGLE game to the Giants that very likely and literally cost them their entire season even with 3/4 to go! Conversely that single win may have saved their nemesis rival the New York Giants' season! Isnt THAT an intense rivalry? Where just one game against your rival can break not just your spirits but you odds too?

beautiful!

trying to find you the schalke/dortmund highlights but that would be a huge reduction because they both played 100% all 94 minutes (well i only caught it from the end of the 1st half ha ha ha. but seriously.)

Yes but it was in the context of that everton liverpool match you slept through

645am on a Saturday? I'll watch a replay later!

Anyway let's talk futbol man. Dish doesn't get goltv but the bundesliga rules!

Today's Ruhr derby (yes that's a real thing) kicked ass!

Also a warning to CL opponents that Schalke is shaping the fuck up under new management!

I watched that game in Liverpool in a pub full of reds. Yeah I'm a masochist. At around the 89th minute I was contemplating leaving and drinking the day away. So glad I didn't.

It had to be fucking Gerrard with his stupid full head of hair to score too.

!@#$%! · 09.28.2014, 12:26 PM

Everyone please check today's goal by Lucas Piazon for Frankfurt vs Hamburg--amazing! Not sure clips are up yet but they should be soon!

I do love Gerrard but he's broken my heart more times than I want to remember.

yes. he sort of motioned towards it but didn't really go and them bam! you can see better from other camera angles. a perfect shot. piazon is a chelsea loaner by the way.

it was sad for hamburg because they had dominated the second half after scoring their first goal *of the season* to even the score (frankfurt scored in the first half). piazon's last-minute goal came then as a total shocker. and so with this loss hamburg now sits firmly at the bottom of the table.

Demonrail.. to bad you didnt get those tickets, dolphins destroyed the poor raiders

demonrail666 · 09.28.2014, 03:57 PM

I know! Ever so slightly gutted I didn't go. It wasn't even sold out so I could've just gone up to Wembley and got a ticket there.

Although it was probably a bad choice of teams in terms of the NFL now, the Dolphins and the Raiders have quite a big cult support here among those who got into it in the 80s when it was first shown on uk tv. Although the Raiders then were obviously in LA rather than Oakland. I used to watch it with a friend from school. He was into the Raiders and I liked the Dolphins. We got really passionate about it even though neither of us had much of a clue about either team. Good times.
