But both Buckley and O’Brien insist there was no firm offer on the table and the fee Celtic were talking about was more like £50,000. We weren’t impressed by the approach from Celtic,” said O’Brien. We’d heard they were notoriously mean when it came to transfer fees. We’d have been delighted to get a firm offer for Celtic to allow us to carry on. And so came the final day - which was only four days before they were due to play their season opener in the all-Ireland Setanta Sports Cup.
The Euros were meant to take place from June 12 until July 12 but will now run from June 11 to July 11 next year after UEFA stepped in and postponed the tournament in response to the coronavirus crisis.

We know that there are some things more important than football, and that the coronavirus shutdown is for the greater good. But that still doesn't alleviate the boredom of a Saturday with a blank fixture list, does it?There were, though, some clubs and players that did their best to entertain us. The Football Manager simulationGiven the amount of football-related video games there are, it was inevitable that someone would simulate their fixture.
Jeonbuk are the champions and in this new season they wants to defend the title. They play against Suwon that wants to make a good championship and of course in this new season all the teams wants to race for the title. Suwon is a good team and I see a difficult match for the champions, Jeonbuk.
Elgin City and Brechin will face each other in the upcoming match in the League Two. Elgin City this season have the following results: 12W, 7D and 9L. Meanwhile Brechin have 4W, 5D and 18L.

I understand why Manchester United have to play him and I understand his mentality; he loves this club, plays for the shirt. He is is Manchester United's most important player but at some stage we have to take a step back and say: Let's not flog these players too much. It is not an England thing, this is about making sure he is ready for Manchester United over the next few years and not burning him out too often.

Shakhtar Donetsk will play against Benfica in the Europa league 1/32 finals, 1st leg. The hosts Shakhtar are in very good shape. They have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. Meanwhile the visitors Benfica have won only twice in their last 5 matches and seems are out of shape. The victory is a little more expected from the home team because they play at home, but I don't think they can beat a strong visitors who, despite their bad form, still have a much more good team.

Hello everyone tipsters from this great game. For today I will try to take this game between Gent and Roma. Here really Roma are the favorite for this game but I will think Genk is not easy team that's why will be very hardly for Italian Roma to take a win. Before one week they play first game and Roma take this game not so easy with just one goal. I think here Roma will play defense and will be very hardly Forget to take a win. For me this game is draw and I will take this perfect opportunity.
The picture at the bottom is complicated by the fact that Wigan Athletic are set to be deducted 12 points by the English Football League for entering administration, which would put the Latics 24th on 38 points. That will place Luton and Barnsley a point closer to safety - but both clubs have an inferior goal difference to the sides around them, so have a pressing need for victories. Troubled Latics in peril Paul Cook's Latics seemed safe from relegation but are now anxiously looking onWigan need to return to winning ways after suffering a 3-0 defeat at high-flying Brentford, a result which ended a run of three successive wins.
Max Meyer thought he put Palace ahead, but Wilfried Zaha was flagged offside for his role in the goal. They eventually led through James Tomkins' header from Luka Milivojevic's free-kick.

Report: Southampton 1-1 Crystal PalaceIn the lunchtime game, Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Aaron Mooy scored their first Brighton goals in a 2-0 win over relegation rivals Bournemouth.
It can be said that the home ground still makes a big decision for the victory in the Nicaragua league. Almost at home, the teams in this tournament have points while being away from home is struggling from draw to lose. That can be seen from the performance of the two teams now.
A majority of Maritimo’s defeats had a margin of two goals or more while a majority of Benfica’s wins have been obtained with a margin of two goals or more, which provides further reason to back a 3-0 home win on Saturday.
The performances of both teams also provide the reasoning behind our prediction of a 2-1 final scoreline, as Scunthorpe’s home games and Port Vale’s away games this season both average over 2.5 goals and the visitors have scored eleven goals in their nine away games in the league so far.

Some Brentford fans vented their frustrations at head coach Thomas Frank's selection before the game but the players on show did their club proud, while the men who missed out will undoubtedly feature in Tuesday's huge league match against fellow promotion chasers Nottingham Forest. For Leicester, though, it was a case of getting the job done for Rodgers' second-string side and that is exactly what they did - negotiating a tricky cup tie while resting a number of key players before their EFL Cup semi-final second leg on Tuesday.
Wellington Phoenix have had the opposite kind of form, losing their first four games of the season and finding themselves bottom of the league before a draw away to Melbourne Victory and a win against Brisbane Roar got their season back on track. They’ll be hoping to continue their form this weekend but they face a tricky trip the the A-League’s most in form team.
The 1-2 defeat at Sevilla's field against Real Madrid caused them to get Getafe shortened the gap to 2 points. Currently, Sevilla ranks 4th in the rankings with 35 points after 20 rounds. In the middle of last week, Sevilla passed the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, they defeated Levante 3-1. Round 21 La Liga this weekend, Sevilla will welcome Granada, opponents not too strong, at home. In the last 5 rounds in La Liga, Sevilla only won 1 (lost 2). Not only that, at the Sanchez Pijuan lair, they have only won a quarter of the round recently.
Away from home this season, Cardiff have conceded a whopping 20 goals. Only Luton have conceded more travelling goals. They're also in the bottom seven when it comes to shots on target conceded on the road, while they're the third worst in terms of shots given away. Such numbers are worrying.
A decision is expected to be announced late in the European afternoon. Currently set to be held in 12 venues, with the semi-finals and final in London, it would obviously be a logistical and financial challenge but one that UEFA would be confident of carrying off. Next year, however, is far from being the "fallow year" many people think.

Aaron Hickey found Naismith and his quick pass picked out Walker who drove towards goal to finish from 14 yards. Southwood was the Hamilton hero in the dreadful wind and rain, keeping out an effort from Walker, and when Naismith tried a follow-up Southwood was there again to snuff out the danger. Boyce angled a low shot which was deflected wide as Hamilton defended with their lives - Alex Gogic marshalling his men valiantly in the face of incessant Hearts attacks.
Borussia Dortmund will against Union Berlin in match Germany Bundesliga on tonight. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3 goals due to Borussia Dortmund on last 2 match in league always can make score 5 goals. Likewise Union Berlin on last 3 match in league always can make score minimal is 1 goal. Therefore, I think this match would be the end scores is over 3 goals due to Borussia Dortmund have great forward and midfielder to be make score like as Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus and Thorgan Hazards. Surely this match can be the end scores is over 3 goals.
That was foolish from the left back. Whoops. He will now be suspended for the match against Valencia. KEY STATS Real Madrid became the first team to reach 1,700 wins in La Liga history.

Arturo Vidal scored the only goal, with a low effort into the bottom left corner from Lionel Messi's pass.

Under Derek McInnes, they had lost just one match in 27 to the Ayrshire side, and stretching slightly further back hadn't been defeated at Rugby Park in 16 games, since December 2011. Even in the Scottish Cup a fortnight ago, Alex Dyer's side were 1-0 up with two minutes remaining in normal time, then 3-2 ahead with four minutes of extra-time left, and still contrived to lose 4-3.
Tierney made it 2-0 and Aubameyang's overhead kick after holding off Dawson added to Watford's misery before Deeney launched a spirited comeback. Welbeck's clever backheel finish gave his side hope but they could not find an equaliser as they slipped to a sixth straight away defeat. With the 2020-21 season starting on 12 September, the first task by Watford's owners will be to appoint a new head coach capable of inspiring a return to the top flight.
Klopp: Exhausted Liverpool should have scored more Mourinho: We deserved more against 'lucky' Liverpool Who could rule it out when a record of 20 wins and one draw from 21 matches represents the best start ever made by a club in any of Europe's top five leagues? Video - Klopp: Why Firmino said sorry after scoring winner00:35 The scenario of Liverpool doing something utterly extraordinary was raised by Opta’s Duncan Alexander on Friday, but how likely is it that Liverpool could actually follow through and match the three greatest seasons of all time, wrapped into one?

Eintracht's visit to Mainz on Monday will be a particularly special occasion for Mainz's new manager Achim Beierlorzer. This will be Beierlorzer's first home game in charge of his new club.

Belgian league delay ratifying decision Belgium's professional soccer league has delayed by more than a week the planned ratification of its decision to cancel the rest of the season, it announced on Thursday.

I am nobody to advise but sometimes to have a break, it was very positive for me. Humble' Mourinho goes on to respond with this when asked if Spurs' current form is down to their Champions League final defeat to Liverpool in June. I don’t know because I never lost a Champions League final but I can imagine it is not easy.
This is only match from Belgium Pro league who will be played tonight and I believe and in the same time, I hope that we will see a lot of goals in this duel. So, it is clear and real to expect something like that, when we just know how this teams are played in last period. Home team is played in even five of last six matches with three or more goals and similar facts we can said and for Mechelen. In the same time, in last two duels Mechelen is beat this rival 3-1 and 3-1. Over 3 is ok.
Round 6, Belarusian top League will close the curtain with the match between Isloch and Vitebsk. Both sides are having good form and they are performing better than expected, and both teams will be confident here. Hosts initiated the season very impressively, they had 2 consecutive wins in first two games. But those wins were against two of the weaker teams of the league, and it seemed as though the following defeats to Slutsk and Brest provided a picture of how the Minsk club do this season. Meanwhile Vitebsk is on the second in the standings and has a very strong defense. It’s hard to predict a winner here.

It is the first time a side managed by Jose Mourinho failed to have a shot on target in a Premier League fixture since April 2007 during his first spell with former side Chelsea (against Newcastle). Callum Wilson's disallowed strike was the sixth time Tottenham have conceded a Premier League goal which has later been ruled out by VAR - only Brighton and Southampton (both seven) have had more. Since his Premier League debut in September 2018, Bournemouth's Jefferson Lerma has been shown 23 yellow cards in the division (12 last season, 11 this) - the most of any player in this time.

Of course, I have sympathy because I know how difficult the life of a manager can be," said Klopp. But the last thing Marco needs now is that I feel sorry for him - I don't. But I am really on his side because I know about the job. Last year's fixture at Anfield was a memorable one for Liverpool fans with Divock Origi scoring an added-time winner after Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's error, prompting Klopp to run 50 yards onto the pitch to celebrate with goalkeeper Alisson.
