Thanks! ? Got to love the Conference league!

FCSB are the former Steaua Bucharest, which won the Champions League in '86. But there's a complex ownership problem

Not sure of spelling

It’s not the old, famous Steaua, though, is it?

And Steaua were Dictator Ceausescu's club anyway so fuck 'em.

Carlton Cole: “I mean of course the weather isn’t great….”

Well it sort of is, this club is the one that holds all the old club's titles but there's a dispute over the use of the Steaua name.

The original FC Steaua București team was founded in 1947 and belonged to the Ministry of National Defence, through the namesake CSA Steaua București sports club. In 1998, the football club and its facilities were separated from the latter and taken over by a group of shareholders in a post-Ceaușescu privatisation scheme, allegedly leading to one of the shareholders acquiring full ownership five years later. However, CSA Steaua București has been in conflict with the football club since 2011, claiming that it was a new and separate entity; this resulted in multiple court cases and the forced change of the name from FC Steaua București to FC FCSB in early 2017.[2][3]

Strange that the half time punditry on bt sport 1 has been 'cancelled' but on bt sport we still get dumb and dumber?

Weird. When I was a kid, Steaua was a big name, and they were known by that one word, like Inter, so the extra letters seem very strange.

All I remember about them is that one European cup win which was a bore fest. A war of attrition

 

[TheChosenOne]

Antonio got away with one there

 

[TheChosenOne]

No VAR - West Ham working this keeper was going for the ball and Cornet got in under him .
My opinion

 

[TheChosenOne]

1-1
Watching West Ham you can see they are always looking for set pieces in and around the box. Just before the pen Antonio had a iffy tumble

 

[TheChosenOne]

You can’t tell me Antonio wasn’t offside there - yes the defender fucked up but Antonio was in an offside position so the defender had to play the ball ?

It's kicked off between Nice and Köln fans inside the stadium. The match might have to be postponed if things don't calm down.

Shocking behavior. England clubs will surely be banned over these disgraceful scenes!
