Dream League LT - Di's Last Game :(

Welcome to Super Sunday!

Today’s DL games are all important in their own right.

One of four teams could be top at the end of today’s games whilst at the other end of the table it could be one of four (again) teams keeping the rest of the league propped up.

What do we have in store today?

Shrewsbury Town v Salisbury City,
Rap’s men travel to the Shrews who have some mad form.A 1-0 loss in Aberdeen last time out for Shrewsbury who will be looking to benefit from Rap’s injury crisis.
Salisbury last time out walked away 2-0 victors at home to Stockport, can they keep winning and keep top of the pack despite the mounting pressure on them?

Cambuur v Stockport County,
Cambuur vs Stockcube. Park and his band of merry men travel to clogland to take on Mr Baskets. Rumours are Park was seen roaming around Dutch coffee shops all weekend looking for a tall frappacino, however all he could find was the mean green and he turns up today very relaxed and wearing his Rastafarian beanie.
LC on the other hand has prepared for today in a police cell after the police were called to his property around dinner time last night. Mr Baskets was arrested after he was reported to be a online troll to our very favourite sausage smuggler Lubo. After checking LC’s computer records LC found himself charged with another 1304300 other offences including Section B-23: You may not illegally stream videos of “Mutts in Butt" or any other beast based pornography.
LC accepts all charges.


Dagenham & Redbridge v Aberdeen,
Where is Number 21? He turns up every now and then but we are missing him dearly, perhaps he feels intimidated by the manly nature of the league? Or maybe he finds talking on a league with Willy and Lubo constantly speaking guff unbearable? All I know is he’s actually the Stig.
21’s Dagenham take on Fan and his Aberdeen boys. Fan will be happy to move out of the snow and the general unhappiness of Scotland and in to the high class and not at all slum like Dagenham…It’s almost enough to encourage him to vote no on Scotland leaving the UK.

Blackpool v Southend United,
A big game between 2 of the Dream Leagues original teams. Both sides picked up a win last week to end pretty horendous runs, with Blackpool finally dragging themselves away from the foot of the table. Inside Bloomfield Road, there's a sea of red and white, as the fans look to set a Guiness World Record for the most in one place, which currently stands at 13000. On December 9, 2007, all those Santas gathered at Guildhall Square in Derry City, Northern Ireland. So now you know.

Burnley v Leeds
Tbag and Lubo were seen pregame leaving a Travelodge looking a little worse for wear, rumours are they had been up most the night playing how far can tbag fit this bottle of Chardonnay up his back passage"…but I don’t believe in spreading this kind of rumour.
However what we can confirm is Tbag did “accidently" snap chat himself with said bottle and the caption read, “all the way to the label baby"…

Fishguard Sports AFC v Tenby,
Emotional scenes on the West coast of Wales, as Dream League babe Di makes her final appearance as Tenby manager . Ironically, the game is also a local derby, and whilst their manager, Welshy, is the nicest man on Planet Football, his team are a bunch of nasty thugs, and the fans are even worse. The Tenby fans away to the left are holding up huge 'Thank you Di' flags and banners, but the rest of the stadium is pretty hostile ahead of this massive game.

Sekhukhune Lions v Harrogate
Harrogate travel to Africa, Leiva has welcomed his guest by putting them in the most luxurious hotel in all of South Africa: http://alturl.com/nh4u6
Both teams are currently mid table and many expect this to be the case at the end of the season…not much riding on this one then.

0 min: Amazing scenes here at St Mary's Field as Welshy has instructed his Fishguard players to form a guard of honour for retiring Tenby manager Di as she walks out for the final time. Both de Vrij and Fischer have refused, turning their backs on Di, whilst the home crowd have burst into a chorus of boos and a rendition of 'Oh Tenby, is full of shít, oh Tenby is full of shít, it's full of shít, shít and more shít, oh Tenby is full of shít'. There's some real bad blood between the fans. Di has wummed the whole lot by simply coming out of the tunnel and sitting on the bench, and Welshy, complete with Dr Who scarf, cuts a lonely and slightly awkward looking figure as he has to tell the few who did form a guard of honour, not to bother anymore. Remarkable stuff.

Let's get these game started!

1min:Announcement from Mr Tippy Tappy I hope you guys understand the power I have….watch this

for De Gea

Now, behave yourselves … and no more Tippy pictures

2mins: I think Dagenham and Redbridge could actually win the real Scottish league actually I’m pretty sure these guys could win the Scottish league http://alturl.com/4izb4… Anyway Ozil has the first chance here and he gets himself on the end of Neymars pass, Lloris is out fast though and pounces before the German can get to it.

3mins: Ibrahimovic!!! Just wide from the Shrewsbury man but the home team are on the front foot in the early knockings of this one… lovely play from Marcelo and Mata working the ball well down the wing and a poor cross is headed out but only as far as the Swede who can’t put it on target.

Ludy is furious that the lead isn’t his and throws a tantrum kicking a pot of freshly prepared Fujian soup and covering his technical team in it’s creamy goodness.


3 mins: Robin watch Tenby manager-in-waiting, Robin, has just taken his seat in the directors box. The Fishguard fans were quick to spot him, and have peppered him with a bunch of insults and a chorus of 'you're getting groomed by the Leiva'.

4mins: Bogged down in the middle in our game in Africa, both teams not letting the other get a hold of the game.

5 mins: Oooh! Blackpool have come within a whisker of taking an early lead against Southend. Schweinsteiger picked the pocket of Pjanic 30 yards out. The German took two touches before firing a scorching effort goal-bound, but Mignolet was alert to it and palms the ball around the post. Bright start from the home side.

6mins: The tone is set for the game it seems over in Holland. Cambuur with the ball and 10 of parks men behind it.

7mins:GOAAAAAAALLLL >
It didn’t take Burnley long to break through the Lube defences.
Ramsey gets the ball and plays a scoop pass into the box where Fabregas is waiting to head home.
Tbag tries to jump up and celebrate but he is stuck in his surgical doughnut.

9 mins: First chance of the game at Fishguard, and it's gone the way of the home team. Clasie having time and space on the ball picks a delightful pass beyond Miranda, but Finnbogason sees his first time effort go inches wide of the far post, with Valdes rooted to the spot.

9mins: Great play between Nasri and Gotze and the Frenchman manages to get space down the wing, his cross is in towards Lewandowski who can’t get over the ball and his header goes high and wide.

10mins: Shrewbury again knocking at the door, they win and corner and it’s taken aimed towards Mandzukic…he beats his marker in the air and Enyema has to push it out of the top corner, he can only parry it upwards though and Mandzukic gets his head on it again this time finding the cross bar! Salisbury look nervy.

11 mins: This definitely has a derby feel to it. Silva got away down the left, but Veltman came across to cover. As the Fishguard man slid in to make the challenge, he's absolutely cleaned Silva out, taking both the ball and the Tenby man into the advertising hoardings. Silva has lashed out, grabbing Veltman by the throat, much to the disgust of the home crowd who are baying for his blood! The ref reacts by stepping in between and booking both men. Looks harsh on Veltman, who clearly won the ball in a thunderous challenge, and maybe Silva is lucky not to have picked up more than just a

11mins: Text in from Susan Boyle (ex Shrewsbury manager) I don’t remember getting a farewell from the league, what a bunch of ! I’m going to unfollow you all on Twitter (has actually happened ). Who does Di think she is anyway pep fecking Guardiola? Feck all y’all

12mins:GOAAAAALLLL
It’s our African friends who have scored! Suarez with the ball in the middle of the opposition half sets Costa through with a brilliant pass. Vertonghen is wrong footed by the Lions attacker and he drills an effort at Courtois..the Belgian gets a great hand on it and is so unfortunate for it to come back off the bar and at the feet of Matuidi who was following up to slot home 1-0

13 mins: GOAAALLLLL
Deadlock broken at Blackpool. And it's gone the way of the visitors. Strootman won an ariel battle with Capoue, and the ball dropped nicely to Oscar, midway inside the Blackpool half. A clever one-two with Aguero sees Oscar in behind Garay, and he cooly slots the ball through the legs of Leno and into the back of the net. Blackpool 0-1 Southend

15mins:GOOOOOAAAAALLLL
And there’s a goal in Holland too. Cambuur have dominated the first part of this game and it’s a massive surprise to see the Stockcube players celebrating!
A counter attack led by Eriksen is halted by Marquinhos who puts in a good tackle but the ball runs free and Kovacic puts it first time to Benteke he outmuscles Doria and just places it past Gabriel 1-0 to parks men

15 mins: Robin watch Ever since that reaction from Silva, he's been getting all kinds of grief from the Fishguard fans who are tight to the touchline. A Fishguard fan, dressed as Robin, ala Rodney from Only Fools and Horses, is tracking him up and down the wing, constantly shouting abuse at the Spaniard. I'm not sure quite what he's saying, but there is laughter from the Fishguard fans in that stand, and Silva looks clearly distressed

16mins: Ronaldo teases Marcelo with some trickery but the Brazilian goes through him with a clattering tackle…fair tackle says the ref and the game plays on.

17mins: More sitting behind the ball from Stockcube but you must say it does have it’s benefits…Cambuur are moving higher and higher up the pitch leaving a nice space for the counter attack.

18mins:GOAALLLL
Oh my word it’s happened again… Cambuur all over Park’s men and then boom the hoof up field from Carrick is again at Benteke’s feet he smashes it from range and Gabriel is nowhere near it!

19mins: Burnley quite happy to knock the ball about in front of Leeds who seem in no rush to stop them from doing so… If I were a Leeds supporter I’d be very unhappy with this.

20mins: Ashley Cole nearly creates a danger for his team! He is in acres and just waits for the opposition to come to him… by the time he realises Costa is on his way he panics and hits the ball against the attacker…he is lucky his keeper is alert and able to smother the loose ball.

21 mins: GOAALLLLL!!!!A 2nd goal here at Bloomfield Road, and Tippy's men are really in control. Aguero, who split the Blackpool defence open for Oscar's opening goal is the beneficiary this time. Florenzi has gone past Rafael effortlessly, but ran out of space to run into. He's checked his run before cutting the ball back to Stootman. The Dutchman has taken a touch before lifting the ball to the back stick, where Aguero has the easiest of jobs to steer to ball beyond Leno to double the lead. Pride looks livid with his defenders, but in truth, that's simply a wonderful goal from a Southend side who look well up for this game. Blackpool 0-2 Southend

23mins:GOAAAAALLLLL
> 3-0 to Stockport!!!!

Only joking
However… it’s a nightmare! Sanchez tries to find Lukaku’s head with an early cross and Ramos has to react, he wins the header, but Lloris is also trying to win the ball, it comes off of Ramos’ head and straight into the back of his own net Aberdeen lead!

24 mins: Chance at Fishguard. And this time it's the visitors who almost go in front. Silva hasn't looked the same player since he's had the Fishguard fans on his back, but he's layed the ball off first time, inside to Michu, who quickly moved the ball wide to Pedro, stretching the Fishguard defence. Pedro has cut inside with the ball and unleashed a rasping effort, but it's gone across the face of Zoet's goal without troubling him too much. Much better from Tenby though.

24mins:PENALTY!!!

of his own net Aberdeen lead!
24mins:PENALTY!!! Cambuur need to find a way of stopping this counter, they are chasing the game now and it’s suiting park to a T. Benteke this time plays provider and Herrera is through on goal, Doria manages to get a tackle in but he can’t beat Eriksen to the ball and brings the former Southend and Fishguard player down.
Benteke steps up…this for a 24minute hat-trick

25mins:PENALTY SAVED!!! Gabriel, I tip my hat to you, a fantastic dive to his left ensured that his team are still in this one! Could this be a turning point?

25mins: Rap’s team aren’t able to get a foothold so far it’s not great from the league leaders up to this point

26mins:GOAAAALLLL
Oh my word! What a goal! Gundogan fires a cross field ball to the feet of Draxler who brings the ball down with a wonderful touch, he spots his team mate Gotze peel off to the far post and crosses one in. Gotze doesn’t have to adjust he just smashes it back across the keeper on the volley first time and it’s 1-1, a truly super finish.

27mins: First sight of Messi, Tevez plays the little man in and he puts the afterburners on, he powers away from the Lions defence but his chip over De Gea just falls wide of the post.


28mins: Leeds win the ball…and punt it up field where Smith is napping and the ball passes him and back to the Burnley keeper. The fans are chanting “Lubo out" and “We want Avram Grant"

28mins: Bardi double save! Could have been two for Daggers. Lewandowski is able to turn and first a low shot at Bardi, the ball bobbles up and he pushes it back into the danger area and Gotze goes for the loose ball, his header has no power though and Bardi can catch.

30mins: Round of applause to Nastasic Mandzukic is free down the left and he puts a lovely ball through to the on running Di Maria, before the South American can get a toe on the ball though Nastasic is in hard and wins the ball. Would have been a goal for sure if he hadn’t have intervened.

30mins: The Aberdeen Dagenham game is fantastic, forget defending both teams are full of attacking nous and it’s back and forth.

30 mins: Chance for Blackpool to get back into this. Robin van Persie is standing over a freekick, 25 yards out and dead centre. Teixeira ran at Sakho, knocking the ball one side of him but looking to go the other. Sakho stood his ground, shoulder checking Teixeira to the ground. The home fans wanted a booking, but the ref kept his cards in his pocket. van Persie steps up to take it... and hits it harmlessly into the wall. Still 0-2 here.

31mins: Park’s team allowing Cambuur to play in front of them again, it’s just not working for Cambuur at the moment, so many creative players but they can’t place that killer blow.

33 mins: Robin watch An announcement has just gone up over the PA system for the owner of a Reliant Robin to return to his car immediately as he's left his headlights on.

34mins: Messi lays the ball off for Kondogbia to have a hit and it’s swerving and dipping but De Gea is equal to it and manages to get two hands behind it.

35mins:GOAAAAAAAAAALLLL
Burnley 2-0 and it’s going to be 3 points.
It’s Corchia with a rare goal, he is teed up on the left by Jovetic and his low cross beats everyone and finds the corner of the net…I’m sure he’ll claim he meant it but I’m not so sure

36 mins: GOAAAALLLLL!!!
We finally have a breakthrough in the Welsh Derby. And it's gone the way of the hosts. Davy Klaassen really should have scored, a wonderfully weighted ball from Clasie finding him in space, but his effort bounced down off the underside of Valdes' crossbar. Hawkeye told the referee that the ball wasn't over the line, but it doesn't matter - Finnbogason was the quickest to react and prodded the ball over the line from a matter of inches. Some of the Fishguard fans have poured onto the pitch, and there are ugly scenes as police and stewards look to keep them away from the pocket of Tenby fans behind Zoet's goal. Fishguard 1-0 Tenby

37mins: Salisbury’s first real attempt at goal! and it’s over half an hour in. Leroy Fer is the only man in Salisbury’s midfield who looks capable of doing and damage… he is clever in reading a Kroos pass and bombs forward with the ball and his shot is just to high for the goal… this isn’t what we expected from what has to be said is a very depleted Salisbury team.

38mins: Aberdeen playing lovely football as they look to regain the lead. Silva seems to have Lukaku’s number at the moment as he keeps forcing the Belgian backward. Sanchez and Ozil however are having great games and you have to think if Aberdeen do get something these two will be involved.

40mins: Cambuur hit the crossbar!! Firmino breaks through the Stockcube wall and unleashes one from the penalty spot, it’s wild though and smashes against the cross bar…the ball nearly flies up to Benteke who is jogging on the spot.

42 mins: RECORD UPDATE Silence falls around Bloomfield Road as word gets round that there are just 12989 Santa's in attendance, just 12 shy of the World Record. Still, a top, top effort by all involved. Dull game though, Southend are keeping possession well with a two goal cushion, and Blackpool don't seem to have a response in them.

Half time: Robin watch At Fishguard, the Christmas songs being played by the PA system has come to a dramatic halt, as the CD gets stuck during 'When The Red Red Robin Goes Bob Bob Bobbing Along'. 6 minutes of this chorus and counting.

46mins: Salisbury must’ve had a good talking to at half time!
Ronaldo picks Ibe out from the kick off and the little man runs, he gets all the way to the byline and cuts it back to Ronaldo, his snapshot fires back off the post and out for a throw.

46 mins: Incredible news from Bloomfield Road!!!! Having discovered that they are 11 short of equalling the World Record for the most Santa's in one location, Pride has sent his team out for the second half, all dressed as Santa!! Although Leno is in a green Santa outfit, apparently it still counts! Congratulations Blackpool and Southend, you have official equalled the World Record

47 mins: GOOAAALLLLL!!!!!
Maybe Blackpool should play in Santa costumes every week!!! They're right back in this now, and it's Robin van Persie with the goal. Another freekick, this time from 20 yards out, just to the right of goal, following a needless foul by Wisdom on Dzagoev. The box was full of players to aim at, but van Persie skillfully took everyone by surprise by toe punting his freekick into the top corner at the near post, leaving Mignolet flat footed. Game on! Blackpool 1-2 Southend


47mins: Aberdeen still going for it and Neymar gets free down the flank, he tries to cut back to Ozil but the ball is a little too hard

48mins: WHAT A SAVE! Ibrahimovic is in the box as a fine Mata cross comes in, he wins it with ease and Eneyema flies to the bottom corner to push it around the post…outstanding save.
Ludy is furious and slams his Chow Mein to the floor.

49mins: The Cambuur fans are chanting Pen-e-trate…and it’s giving me a stalk on!

49 mins: GOOAAALLLLLLL!!!!
WOW! Andre Wisdom clearly doesn't like Santa! Once again, he's tried to take a nibble at Dzagoev, but this time the ref waves play on. Dzagoev staggers clear with the ball and thunders a shot straight into the body of Bonucci. However, Southend fail to get it clear, with van Persie the first to react, and he lays it off into the path of Dzagoev again, who this time finds the roof of the net! Blackpool 2-2 Southend! The home fans are absolutely rocking!

50mins: This is the type if game that suits Leiva’s men it’s very technical and less about brute strength and raw power…it’s nice to watch but Leiva’s team are the dominant force at the moment.

51mins: De Sciglio destroys Ozil in the air and manages to carry on with the ball, his cross is on Lewandowski’s head but the Polishman can’t aim his header on target.

53mins: Icardi’s greed prevents a Cambuur equaliser he rounds Pique and can square it to Bernard who is waiting to tuck it away, he blazes it wide instead…LC is furious and has detached the hard end of his infamous chair again!

53 mins: Another booking in the Welsh Derby, and this time it's Klaassen for a late challenge on Paulinho.

54mins: Modric cross into the box is cleared acrobatically by Luiz who pulls out a scissor kick to prevent the onrushing Suarez.

54mins: Sanchez with the cross…Lloris is out to catch…he’s dropped it at Lukaku’s feet !!! But Lukaku rushes the shot and it’s sliced wide!

55mins: Salisbury’s Ronaldo is finding himself trying to create all by himself, he’s not been helped at all today by the players around him and you have to question the squad depth of Salisbury considering their usual high standards.

56mins:GOAAAAAAAAALLLLLL
And it’s number 3 for Burnley and it’s Fabregas again. This time he is played in by Zouma and is allowed so much space he picks the top left of the goal and plants it there…GAME SET MATCH goodnight.

57mins: Ramos picks a beat of a pass into Lewandowski who is tussling with Chiellini to get a shot away… he beats the Italian but has been pushed too far wide to have a shot that can really test Bardi.

58 mins: Southend nearly retake the lead. Oscar again weaving some magic, but his final ball can't pick out Aguero and goes behind for a goal kick.

58mins: when you do something wrong on a football pitch you usually expect an earful from your manager…Icardi’s manager however happens to be Mr Baskets, who along with the detachable part of the díldo chair has decided to give a whole new meaning to the word earful. He has jammed the floppy warrior in the side of Icardi’s head and has screamed “Next time you fecking pass you absolute disgrace"…I don’t know if Icardi could hear what he was trying to say though…

60mins: for Tibbling De Rossi runs past the Salisbury man with ease and all he can do is give a swift kick to the back of the Italian’s ankles nasty that Ludy is furious and has thrown his Ramen at the opposition bench.

61mins: Cavani is on for Dagenham, no fúcking about here!

62mins: Tbag is so content with the way his side are controlling this he’s having a drink…from a rather dirty bottle

62 mins: Fishguard almost double the lead, Finnbogason denied his 2nd by a wonderful stop by Valdes. Still 1-0.

63mins: Sideshow Bob with a perfect tackle on Costa, such an imposing man, let’s just hope there’s no rakes for him to step on (one for the Simpsons fans ) Allen is on for Witsel as The Lions look to get more sideways passing into the team.

64mins:Zzzzzzzzzzz….Wah-huh, oh for Smith who with his second touch of the game handles the ball.

64mins: Neuer must be wondering if he’s ever going to really be tested today…Salisbury have been poor in the creating of chances…having said that Shrewsbury aren’t putting this game to sleep and seem to be wasting every good opportunity they have.

64mins: The Aberdeen game has got me tired just watching it, back and forth and has been like that for over an hour now..fantastic football.

65mins: Big changes and eggs well and truly in one basket for STD Azpilicueta, Kondogbia and Cole off, Lamela, Omeruo, Xavi on. Kondogbia is so angry about being substituted off he slaps Modric round the head as he goes past him for Modric however as he responds to this by pulling Kondogbia’s shirt and not allowing him to leave the pitch…nasty play.

66mins: Wilshere, Giroud and Volland on for leeds

68mins: Cambuur hit the woodwork again! This time it’s Bernard who gets on the end of Vargas’ low cross only to see his well timed effort come off the post and into Amos’ hands.

69mins: Sanchez comes off to a standing ovation and Shurrle enters the field…If it were me I would have kept the Chilean on the pitch.

69 mins: Robin watch Robin has spent the last 20 minutes on his phone, presumably chatting to Leiva via the Dream League Chat Site. He looks absolutely disgusted by something. In fact, he's just vomited. Disturbing scenes. Robin has left the ground.

70mins: I’m so bored of Lubo’s team for Gibbs and Pugh for being boring. Illarremendi on for Flamini for Burnley who aren’t going to tire themselves out now and are happy to stroke the ball about. They also bring Remy on for Jovetic

70mins: PENALTY APPEAL Ben Arfa wanders through an array of Shrewsbury players and gets into the box…only to be forecefully barged to the floor…he goes down and grabs the ball…the referee’s whistle blows…and it’s a for Ben Arfa for handball It has to be said, that looked a penalty for me.

70mins: Park brings on Januzaj for Benteke who is on a hat-trick the Big Belgian goes wild, throwing his boot at his manager and catching him square on the conk for Benteke.

73mins: We have a fight Joe Allen and David Luiz go at it hammer and tongs and Joe Allen gives a left handed jab into Luiz’s nut sack, the Brazilian’s team mates are soon around Allen who can do nothing but run sideways…right into hardman Lionel Messi who plants a fest right into Allen’s Chevvy chase. for Allen, Messi and Luiz… Is this the first fight a Fishguard player hasn’t been involved in?

74mins: Medel for Aberdeen as he goes in hard on Gotze.

74mins: IBRAHIMOVIC!!!! Oh wait no!
The Shrewsbury front man gets on the end of a delightful Di Maria Cross and he controls on the chest and slides the ball past the keeper… The linesman however has claimed he controlled the ball with his arm! And a is given to the Shrews attacker…he is furious and so is Ludy..he’s spat his noodles everywhere!

75 mins: Di makes her last substitutions as a Dream League manager, replacing Pedro and Torres with Tello and Morata. Double change for Blackpool too, Pirlo and Townsend on for Capoue and Dzagoev. Dzagoev has said something to Wisdom on his way off, which has promted a furious reaction from the youngster, causing him to rip Dzagoev's Santa hat and beard off! The ref books the Russian and tells him to get off, while Sakho wrestles Wisdom away and tries to calm him down. Rafael has come charging across and tried to grab the fake beard from Wisdom's hand, earning him a booking too. Crazy scenes. I'm not sure if the record will stand if Dzagoev isn't reunited with the rest of his costume? Presumably that's why Rafael was so keen to take action

75mins: Ocampos and Muriel for Cambuur now as they look for this much needed goal back.

75mins: Oh dear we have a family dispute at Aberdeen. Bender has started his warm up for Dagenham and whilst the ball goes out for a throw in he jumps on his brother and starts digging him in the ribs…they can’t be separated and the referee waves towards the crowd…and out steps big daddy bender to split his boys up… for a family full of benders they sure know how to tussle  for the Aberdeen Bender but the Dagenham Bender gets away unpunished. Number 21 Brings Rossi on to the pitch whilst Ozil is off for Aberdeen and on comes Son who receives a for taking too long to take the throw in.

76mins: Costa is all alone in the box and is found by Modric but he fluffs the shot completely it’s a shocking miss it really is…Leiva didn’t see it as a much taller midget has taken the seat right in front of him and he forgot his booster cushion… Costa will be relieved of this. That’s Modric’s last involvement as Koke replaces him.

80mins: It’s taken 80mins but Rap has finally decided his team need to do something Ings is on for Ibe and maybe they can take advantage of the fact that Shrewsbury’s players haven’t found a way past a keeper and defence when really they’ve had the chances to make it 4 or 5

80mins: for Ramos who takes down Neymar halfway into the Dagenham half.

80 mins: Tripple sub for Fishguard, Depay on for Fischer, Bakkali on for Narsingh, and Hendrix on for Martins Indi


80mins: GOAAAAALLLL!!! It’s been coming! Cambuur get the goal back, It’s Muriel who tackles Carrick and doesn’t bother trying to take anyone on he just lifts one into the top corner 2-1 and it’s back on!
Stockcube react by brining on Cambuur’s star signing Howedes on for Alves

81mins: And Leiva has been informed of his players miss…Costa comes off and PEA is on for the Lions.

82mins: Remember I said I have the power?

for Suarez oh and let’s just give Gabriel one aswell…Cambuur’s keeper has been bored this half.

83mins: Ohh so close! Mata gets down the wing and aims one at Mandzukic…Nastasic is there first but he nearly puts it in his own net…it’s just past the post and blushes have been saved.

83mins: Muriel has his header pushed on to the crossbar the wall is being taken apart brick by brick but LC’s men may need to find a bulldozer somewhere and quickly.

83 mins: RECORD UPDATE! Guiness have confirmed that as Dzagoev did not leave the pitch with his beard on, it doesn't count. Wisdom has wrecked the record attempt

84mins: Xavi is the furthest man forward for Harrogate as they try a blistering counter attack but he pulls up with a thigh strain and the ball is cleared to safety…worrying times for Harrogate who are 1 down and have used all their subs…

84mins: Mane for Ramsey for Burnley

85mins: Mane has obviously been sent on to make things more interesting and he walks up to Gibbs and slaps him in the face

85mins: all round as a little bit of goes on. Ocampos and Romulo are tired of trying to break down the Stockcube players and have decided to break them instead. Both men go really hard in on Januzaj and the little ex-Man United player is down in a heap…his friend Carrick comes over and gives Romulo a little push for Ocampos and Romulo…Carrick escapes punishment.

85mins: Lukas Frode is to replace Tibbling for Salisbury.


86 mins: GOOOAAALLLLLL!!!!
They've been poor since half time, but Southend are finally back in front! A whipped corner from Oscar finding the head of Bonucci and the ball is rifled beyond Leno who looks shell shocked. Bonucci is booked for removing his shirt to reveal a picture of the Grinch, but he's well justified - he could have just ruined Christmas for Blackpool. Blackpool 2-3 Southend

88mins: The Shrews vs Salisbury has been a funny old one. One sided but 0-0 …is there time for a goal?

88 mins: Robin watch This is remarkable! Di is in her last couple of minutes as a Dream League manager, and the Fishguard fans have waited for this moment all game. Clearly aware of her well publicised fear of birds, they have unleashed literally hundreds of the feathery creatures! They're everywhere! Pigeons, sparrows, wagtails and especially robins! Di looks distraught and has made an early dash for the tunnel! But she's been forced back out by 4 Canadian Geese! This is bonkers! Massive flocks of birds are all around us here, but the game goes on, and Tenby are on the break! The two substitutes, Tello and Morata combine, with the latter found in a rare bit of space, and his goalbound effort..!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!! His effort had Zoet beaten all ends up, but it's ,hit a bird!! The bird has kept the ball out of the net!!! A definite equaliser has been prevented by a ROBIN!! The poor bird looks out of it, but he'll forever be a hero to the Fishguard fans! He's surely just won the game for his side, and cruelly denied Di at least a point on her swansong. Di is seeking salvation in the Fishguard dugout, where Welshy has erected a scarecrow! Was he in on this as well?! Meanwhile, on the pitch, Zoet has gone in the book for timewasting, as he's punted the ball into the crowd while he delicately carries the hero robin from the pitch and lays him safely behind his net. GIVE THAT BIRD A STATUE OR SOMETHING! I can't believe what I'm seeing.

89mins: Suarez takes on Luiz and nutmegs him, he’s through on goal and blazes it miles over! Poor finish but wonderful skills.

89mins: In the dying embers Draxler tries to trick the ref into giving him a penalty, it’s nearly as bad as Pedersen’s against Reina back in the day, he looks to see where the ref is before flying to the ground for the dive.

90mins:Corchia gets the ball near the dugout…he picks the ball up and throws it at Lubo…biggest cheer from the leeds fans all day.

Full time: And now it's time to say good bye to Di as her managerial blouse is hung up to dry and the nearest thing to a woman the DL has left is Lubo . Sad scenes and we wish her the best in what ever it is she is leaving us for, is it another man? Possibly...Is he bigger than us, Probably but all I know for sure is she will be missed.

And lets welcome Robin, hopefully he can do better than that bird who used to run the show at Tenby
