@Monty1Capuletti @IrelandFootball The irony of this comment….

@IrelandFootball I guess my father’s definition of “Irishman” has changed since he left for the US

Two more substitutes and two more debuts: Millenic Alli 🔁 Adam Idah Aidomo Emakhu 🔁 Chiedozie Ogbene 63’ | 3-0

"It’s brewed in The UK. It’s made in the same place as Carling. The little fella with the waistcoat is just part of the con, it’s not even Spanish. It’s not from Madrid. It’s bullshit."

FIFA have a track record of announcing "affordable" headline prices that, in reality, aren't available to the vast majority of fans. This seems to be a new version of that with the intention of relieving pressure on FIFA without fixing things for the majority of supporters. This is a step in the right direction, as it shows changes for good can be made, but it still leaves 90% of loyal, hardcore supporters paying ridiculous prices. Rather than playing PR games FIFA needs to do the right thing and set prices at a reasonable price for all supporters, and FAs need to apply pressure on them to do just that.

This has actually pissed me off more, so you’re telling me for the final someone will pay $60 and the person next to them could be paying $4,000+. Scandalous from FIFA again who think they’re doing everyone a favour. Reduce all supporters ticket prices down 50%/60% now.

Let’s hope the FA takes up the ticket price fight with Fifa on behalf of the thousands of England fans wanting to go to the World Cup. £5,000 for all eight games if* (*big if*) England reach final is unconscionable. It’s actually immoral. The FA can surely see that. Thomas Tuchel’s team need as many supporters behind them as possible, especially members of the England Supporters Travel Club, backing the team in the difficult moments that lie in store. I know fans, some top cappers, just going for a couple of games now, not even the full group stage, because of the cost – tickets, internal travel, accommodation, taxes, etc. Fistfuls of dollars. Bagfulls of debts. As well as greed, it’s also naivety by Fifa. Pricing out real fans risks problems with segregation. Plus the atmosphere will be diluted if many of the usual noise-bringers are priced out. TV will hate that. It pays Fifa fortunes for atmosphere generated by supporters. Fifa argues that money gets ploughed back into the game. But why alienate those who help make the game special? Imagine if there are empty seats as at the Club World Cup. Fifa forgets Jock Stein’s great maxim. “Football without fans is nothing.” So treat them properly, not as cash machines. Otherwise, World Cup 2026 risks becoming the Corporate Games. The FA rarely stands up to Fifa nowadays. The last time was 2011 when then chairman David Bernstein stood up to Sepp Blatter. (In 2022 it quickly backed down over armband-gate). Who now will stand up against Fifa? The FA could, of course, offer to subsidise some of the tickets from the substantial revenue it will make from Fifa but really the governing body of the global game should see sense. Fifa’s slogan is: “For the Game. For the World”. Not “For The Few”. #FIFAWorldCup

@oxfordkits Interesting, thanks!

@tghammick I'm pretty sure it's a warm-up top. Several people have contacted me about it, I think it was in a shop somewhere. There was also a white version of rhis, also with shadow stripes which manager Shotton wore at games.

Picked this up today, has anyone got any information on it? My guess is a training top from 99/00 season? #oufc
