    been like that for me for the past hour-ish, yet the 'seats available' are going down drastically I put it to one before choosing anything else and got through. 10 minutes on the confirmation page and still loading.

    Nothing happening when I click the quick seats.
  5. There's not many players in the world who wouldn't be embarrassing themselves by your logic.

    Thought he caught his leg and even if the contact wasn't big enough to give penalty it looked like Welbeck just lost his balance. I need to see it again.

    Come on ref. That's a pen.
  9. TBF I'd have all of them in our team ahead of him (if they had same experience of playing with our players). thing is none of them are first choice regulars for their club (hell iirc caulkers played a fair bit at lb and smalling doesn't play much at cb either for Man Utd) while Saylor is This is what I found funny, not the quality of the players.
  10. Lescott, Smalling and Caulker ahead of him.
  11. England/Belgium/Holland 200€ @ 3.08
  12. Cheers Stu, wouldn't have noticed that. Stupid to bet against Finland mates.

    I honestly recognized just few words.
  15. Put 100€ on Wales DNB. 3.20 seems decent.
  16. Fucking scandalous. Sue everyone.
  17. I can honestly say that is the worst challenge I've seen since Keane on Haaland. I was talking about the Ausslin challenge which Taxfree has see through the eyes of a Man City reporter. The challenge on Haidara though is genuinely one of the worst I've ever seen I agree, it was horrific. Ah okay, sorry about that.

  19. Couldn't disagree more. There's no physicality in that tackle and 3-game ban is basically nothing. There are ways to fight diving but I fail to see how not giving proper bans would be one way. Beyond my concerns regarding 'losing physicality', how do you scale the severity of one tackle against another (and thus influencing the punishment)? Do you consider the height of the challenge? The speed of which he made the tackle? The severity of any injury it might cause? Like I say, the only thing that should influence the punishment and force an extended ban, is a clear suggestion of malice and intent imo. Like Thatcher against Pedro Mendes, for eg. I don't have the rulebook in front of me, but by the letter of the law - McManaman's foul was dangerous play and should have been a straight red/3-game ban. I don't think he went in with the intention of injuring Haidara. I have no idea about the scale, but other sports are able to give players bans on a sliding scale. Malice and intent shouldn't play that big part in any decision. You just can't go into a tackle like McManaman even if it is without any intent to injure the opposition player. I just found the 3-game ban for everything to be really archaic. I'll requote a text which I found on ESPN comments on one article. And again I mention the way NHL releases a 5-minute video using slow motion replays to tell what the player did wrong and what things affect the length of the ban.

  21. It was no way a red card offence. Loved the way Perch acted after it, total gentleman. No, but Perch was already on a yellow. Thought he got a yellow from that if you mean the Kone-kicking?
  22. Very good read indeed From the comments: I know nothing about rugby but this is basically the system that is used in ice hockey.
