@@WelshRaptor367 While insulting chants are everywhere in soccer, some go too far. In the case of "Man U," the term was used in several chants that referred to the Munich Air Disaster of 1958 in which 23 people died, including eight United players. One example includes "Man U, Man U went on a plane.
@@petemitchel5622I too am a fan from abroad and was planning to visit the town during my next visit. Have lunch, a pint or two. But if plastic fans are not welcome do say so and we will bypass so as not to offend
And, as you mentioned, an easy clean sheet this time for Arthur "The Wall" Okonkwo. He's still so young and getting better all the time. He's going to be scary good when he hits his "prime."
Im a canadian whos family is scottish from glasgow and you can imagine how intense days were when a match between Celtic and Rangers was... hahaha family war day we called it lol so football has always been in my heart but those were the family teams and i didnt get drawn into any teams ever until Wrexham... theyre just captivating... the team, the town, the show.... all of it!!! ❤😂
If you notice, the EFL RU-vid channel NEVER put out the highlight video of last week's Forest Green game, despite it making Wrexham club history and being MAJOR news. This game's highlights are nowhere to be found, either. This is despite the fact the EFL channel has usually been putting the highlight videos out sooner than this channel. In the US, we have a word for when someone gets resentful and refuses to acknowlege another's success. It's called being "butthurt." I wonder who, in the EFL video production department, is so butthurt they've stopped Wrexham's highlight videos from being published.
Looking good for next season - and as a bonus, funny version of the commentary if you turn CC captions on, featuring Ali Baba, the Lone Ranger and other surprises : )
@@petemitchel5622 so many more plastic fans in the prem tbh, most non-uk wrexham fans are fans due to the documentary and the story they've fell in love with, many non-uk prem fans are fans because they saw said team winning in that teams prime and stayed
@@petemitchel5622 Why do you care about who other people support? Do you also comment on all other teams with international fan bases? International supporters gives this team more money, which gives them the opportunity to grow even more. If you would ask all "real supporters" I would say the big majority don't care, I would even say most probably feel proud of the attention and success they have been seeing. As strider said, most non-uk wrexham fans got their eyes opened to Wrexham thanks to the documentary and the story being told. I would say many people can relate to that story.
Yes. Think on this. 3 in league 1 were in champ. Previous seas. Dragons payroll is on par w/ many of those teams. Lots of movement preseason can help, but odds of prom. Rite away r signif. Less ...
Yeah, it's tougher. Forest Green are a good example. In the 2021/22 season they won promotion to League 1 as the champions of League 2, but the following season, 22/23, they struggled big time and got relegated straight back down to League 2. Sadly, Wrexham are going to have leave behind some hardworking loyal players who can't hack it in League 1 if they want to progress.
Don't understand how people say that it wasn't a red card, mullin did give him a shove but there was no need to put your arm up and catch the ball, mullin would of been clear through, 100% a red
@j25_wxmfc86, it wasn't a shove. I slowed it down to 25% speed and watched it over a couple times. Cooney was cutting in front of Mullin and slowing down, blocking Mullin. Mullin had his right arm out in front of him to keep from getting tripped. Mullin's arm then goes straight back behind him, never making a shoving motion at all. At 2:36, it looks as though Cooney elbowed Mullin a bit, maybe even in the side of the face, then pushed (bounced?) off him. Mullin never pushed Cooney at all.
Sorry, the red card, was that like a penalty try in Rugby? I watched the replay and could really see the handball but trust the commentary. Was it something like deliberate foul to stop a certain goal or something? It's been a while since I followed football (decades) and the rules have changed.
Similar to a penalty try in rugby - or even like sinister play. The red is for denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity - aka 'last man'. Basically, it's at the referee's discretion to decide if the foul impedes a direct chance on goal.
He grabbed the ball for a second, maybe deliberately to stop a goal-scoring opportunity or maybe because he thought the foul was already given, but that stopped what could've been a clear goal-scoring opportunity so it was a red, reds are typically given for either stopping a goal scoring opportunity illegally or a really dangerous foul, or just simply an aggressive attack on another player outside of play, similar to rugby pretty much. Penalty tries don't exist in football the same way they do in rugby, we call them just a penalty and you only get them if you're fouled inside the box, instead of the goal being automatically given, with a penalty, the ball is placed on the penalty spot (in the middle of the box pretty much) then a player, unimpeded, gets a chance to shoot, the goalie can save it, but that doesn't happen too often, so it normally does result in a goal, but sometimes the goalie guesses the right way and they save it.
He is doing the commentary for Radio via IFollow and then matches it up afterwards with the broadcaster's content, Sky TV I think. So that's why he is so detailed.
