There were only 2 games in Britain in season 04-05 than finished 7-1.
Rangers V Dundee United and Man City V Barnsley.
The same two goalkeepers played in both games - Ronald Waterreus for Rangers and City, Nick Colgan for Dundee Utd and Barnsley.

Appeal. Hire 20 of the world's top lawyers. Delay. Escalate costs. Terrify the league. Will be fine
An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

On this day 40 years ago, 56 Bradford City and Lincoln City supporters went to a football match and never came home.
We will never forget those who lost their lives in the Valley Parade Fire Disaster, and we stand with everyone who continues to be affected to this day.
Forever remembered and forever in our hearts. 🎗️

Inter’s debut in the European Cup was unforgettable, winning the title after beating Real Madrid 3-1 in the Final, led by Sandro Mazzola’s brilliance. The following season, @inter dominated again, reclaiming the Serie A title, winning the Intercontinental Cup, and defending their European crown with a 1-0 victory over Benfica at San Siro, thanks to Jair’s goal. The Grande Inter era under Helenio Herrera had truly begun!

This is great. Espanyol players brought abandoned dogs onto the pitch to help them find homes

🔴 ⚫️ The new @Eintracht x COPA Retro Collection is a stylish reminder of two extremely strong periods in the history of Eintracht Frankfurt. The classic-looking 1971 - 72 and 1972 - 73 Retro Football shirts take us back to a time when, thanks to a strong performance in the Bundesliga, the club would play its first European tournament since their famous appearance in the European Cup Final of 1960.
Rounding out the collection are the unique 1988 Retro Football Jacket and the 1990-91 Retro Football Shirt, representing a period in which the 1988 DFB-Pokal victory was followed by several seasons of strong, upper-table finishes in the Bundesliga, with Eintracht reaching as high as 4th place on the back of an almost unbeatable home form in the 1990-91 season.

Wonder how many parents go to Falkirk games and sit in this stand then suddenly remember they’ve left their kids at home

This looks like a straight to Netflix film about a high school bully and the class nerd who unexpectedly end up in cahoots with each other for a heist
