Thought this was a good article on Guingamp - it's a town I've been wanting to visit for a while now. CC: Hoops in Paris https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/guingamp-ligue-1-france-football-modest-budget-paris-saintgermain-neymar-transfer-a8308561.html |

Inter Milan are wearing special shirts tonight. Instead of the players names being printed on the back they’re printing their Instagram usernames. Shower of dicks. |

The town has nothing special. I would recommend a game in August, for you would be able to visit the northern shores (pink granite coast) before the weather turns Scottish there. ![]() The French commentator who was screaming on Dembélé's goals for the the 5-1 is a Guingamp supporter, originally from the area.

The chairman/high-heid-yin-with-the-money at Östersund has been arrested & is suspected on probable cause of gross fraud and complicity in a gross book-keeping crime today. The prosecution authority have until Friday to present a claim to the court for detention, so I guess we'll know then how confident they are in their case & what role yer man's played here. There are questions, too, about sponsorship money amounting to something like a third of their sponsorship revenue from a business partner of his. There's been a suspicion among fans here that's something has been a little off about their finances, but it's always hard to tell what's just envy at what they've managed to achieve up there & what's actual, relevant questions. Don't really know much yet about how this will affect ÖFK, if it will at all. They're obviously not his sole business interest. Edited by jolakotturin, 17 Apr 2018, 09:47 PM.

Some French third division side have made it to the French Cup final, where they’ll play PSG. Did this not happen before, when a third or fourth division side also got the final? |

Yes, Quevilly in 2012 and there have been a few second tier teams making it. This year one of the semi finals was an all third division affair! It's slightly easier for minnows to do well than other countries' cup competitions because if you're drawn against a team two or more divisions above you always get home advantage.

He just never learns, does he. Saying he is a petulant, irresponsible brat is being complimentary to him. There could be something going on at his club which is detrimental to him, but he just seems to think he can do what he likes. No one will touch him with a barge pole sooner rather than later. |

There's a lot of quality players in France National (third division). Most players have been in pro clubs academies, and some of them break through later. Ribéry and Valbuena started there, because they at 16/17 they were too small for professional football. Mahrez started even lower. Most of the third division clubs doing well in the Cup are also linked to pro clubs. They get young pros on loan to develop them. There's also a long history of upsets. Calais reached the final in 2000 for instance. Ligue 1 clubs field weakened teams until the semi-finals, so They aren't really hard to beat. QSG are the only top tier club taking the Cup seriously. No wonder they keep winning them. Ligue 1 clubs moan about the Qatari dominance on French football, but they don't really try in the cups. |

Calais did it as well whilst in the 4th division. I remember Channel 4 broadcast it live- they were actually really unlucky. Dodgy last minute penalty http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/742385.stm |

The referee of the Nantes - Calais final was Claude Colombo, who has probably made the worst game at CP for a non Scottish referee when we played Celta Vigo on the Road to Seville. When Ligue 1 broadcaster Canal Plus had awards for the worst performances in the league, Colombo got the Wort Referee award, later, French referees went on strike to protest against his appointment as Head of Referees by the FFF.

Funny story about Rennes. I often laugh at the club, but to be fair, they keep providing a good laughing stock. Earlier this season, Rennes published a statement calling for help to everyone in French football. Both French Cup replicas won by Rennes in the seventies had disappeared. Any help to find them was welcomed. The first replica was quickly found. The Football League of Brittany had it their trophy room. A few weeks later, asked by journalist, Rennes had to admit the second one had been found. They claimed it was found in a technical room in their stadium. It appears the technical room was the trophy room everyone in the club had forgotten about due to the lack of success. The janitor used the room to store his stuff. One day soon, the same story will be told about Rangers (RIH) |

I lived in a flat in on Queensferry Street, 100mtrs down from Ryan's Bar at the West End with my two Jambo pals and went with them to see the parade...as the bus passes us there was just a lot of polite applause and a few cheers even though the streets were teeming with Jambos (who still can't fill their feckin midden, but win a cup and there's 70,000 in the streets), and as I was was on a two week piss up due to splitting up with my first love as we drew with Dunfermline, then clinching the league and then seeing the Huns end the season without a trophy for the first time in over 10 years I took it upon myself to give out a huge H-E-A-R-T-S and all the placid jambos joined in and gave it big licks until the bus got to Tynie I still like to remind my mates that the atmosphere at the West End was shampooe until a Tim had to get the sing song started, much to their shame
