  1. I thought it was a great rule and iirc the initial response was almost all positive. In the Beckham situation it wouldn't have been too difficult to modify so the attacking team could decline the ball being moved. And years later abusing refs is still an issue. From an article back in 2005. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2361805/FIFA-scrap-10-yard-rule.html "FIFA have opted to abandon the experiment due to the confusion in non-rugby playing nations, who do not understand the logic behind the rule." Eh, what? That explanation is shit but its a rule that only really works in high scoring sports where fouls are regularly punished by scores
  2. Tbf I'm sure I've read articles about him improving his fitness in each of the last three summers
  3. Someones arse. You have coin toss for the winner of that to decide whether they go first or second, as fair as it can ever get. How is a coin toss to give one team a 60% chance of winning as fair as it can ever get? The coin toss is a 50/50 isn't it. Then the winner of that can go 1st or 2nd, that's as fair as you can get. Fucking about with a straight forward penalty shootout, something no team has ever complained about when they've gone second is utter nonsense. It's fiddling with rules that are ok, instead of changing the ones which are dumb as feck. But a coin toss isn't fair. It's nothing to do with how good a team is at football Aye, but once this rule comes into force what happens if there is a statistic somewhere that says the team going second wins 60.3743% of the time? Do we now say it's unfair for the team going first and we now need to revert back to the old method? Professional footballers not being able to cope with the stress of going second in a shootout, give me fucking strength - no wonder people say they are wrapped in cotton wool. Tbf I don't really feel passionately one way or the other about changing the shootout system. It was more the fact that bimpy couldn't see anything more fair than a coin toss I had issue with

  5. Aye, 60% of teams that go first win apparently

  7. A tight fisted Premier League club is incredibly rich compared to the average La Liga or Ligue 1 club
  8. Have we given him a contract since his first one with us?
  9. One of Celtic's best players is a left back so doubt it
  10. There's no real point in talking about it until the season starts. Shelvey may be fit but we won't know about the mental side of things which is even more important until we play a few games
  11. Dudu Aouate Neville Terry Ramos Alba Roy Keane Gibson De Jong Alli Owen Van Persie
  12. Take your hate of Richard Dunne elsewhere pls
  13. There's probably loads. We just don't know as much about them
  14. I think I'd just give up watching football if I hated Ronaldo and Messi like. They're both clearly cunts Doesn't mean I think they're not great footballers. Both seem alright to me. Clearly not very interesting people outside of football, mind.
  15. Worse opposition most of the time at international level too
  16. We only started getting results when Mitro didn't start games

    Which Gibson? Edit: Ah right, totally forgot he was there
  19. Don't know why everyone cares so much about Neymar leaving or not. If he thinks he'll be happier at PSG, whether that's to do with money or not then good luck to him
  20. What has Silva done to his beautiful hair
