BSC Young Boys vs Aston Villa CL Pre-Match

[Tebepaul]

It's a plastic pitch, isn't it?

Yes, unfortunately. They'll need to put a grass pitch down at the Wankdorf Stadion ahead of the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 competition, but that will just be a temporary issue. The club very much wants to change back permanently to playing on grass, but that's dependent on a number of local infrastructure issues.

YB struggled past third-tier Vevey Sports in the Swiss Cup on Saturday thanks to two late goals, but also lost midfielder Cheikh Niasse to injury.

Oldham 1990. Gah!

I played on that pitch once. It was fucking awful.

QPR had a bad one too, as did Luton

Many tried but few succeeded.

Apparently Bailey's part of the squad travelling to Switzerland.

Anything to get a massive Toblerone.

[Risso]

We've got to be funeralling these, even on a plastic pitch. They haven't won a game in the Swiss League yet, and are currently bottom of the table.

Would be good to get some minutes into him. Id be starting the likes of Carlos, Barkley and Duran. Going to have to reintegrate Carlos at some point.

On the plane! I do like them white tops (except for the badge). Makes em look ready for clandestine snow ops to snatch the points from a Hydra fortress;

I still remember us getting beat in the cup on Oldhams plastic pitch, one of worst away days ever. David Speedie playing for them. Ugh. Hopefully we do better on plastic this time!

[Border villan]

That was one of the coldest matches ever. The snow was coming uphill!

£100 for one of them hoodies.

[Villa Lew]

Strongest team possible. If we can get 3 points here it's a massive start .
Stupid KO time and looks like i'll be commuting so will miss all the game

Early KO is for the tele.

It's a plastic pitch, isn't it? I thought that shit was banned. Young Boys twinned with Luton and QPR circa 1987 ffs.

Rest JJ for this, I don't want our boy twisting his foot in the turf and being out of action for another fucking season.

.yippee injuries incoming ffs

Why isnt this banned?

[Bad English]

Yippee! Injuries incoming FFS!

Why isn't this banned?

We need to assess the Swiss role in all this.
