Daft questions (football edition)


Recommended Posts

Is that 6 seconds rule still in place? I thought they did away with it ages ago?

It's been a pet hate of mine for a while. About time we see someone caught out by it.

 

I agree it shouldn't be applied to the exact second, but so often in the Prem you see keepers holding onto the ball for over double the amount of time they should.

Would it be good or bad for the Premier League (the sporting competition, not the brand), if it lost a CL place?

 

Given how much money clubs get from sky and other sponsorship deals it's probably not as big a deal as made out and we all know money >>> anything else in English football. From a sporting perspective it's pathetically shite from the leagues top clubs.

That's my fear. At least the 4th spot gives some of the outsiders a tangible target to shoot for. Even we made a bit of a go at it in 2012. I can see the loss of the 4th spot, along with the increased PL prize money,  making everything even less competitive.

True, though one of the funnier things for me would be that it's been English shitness and keenness to fuck off the EL because it's a non-monied tournament that will massively contribute to it happening.

Has a center back ever scored a hat trick? Or any defender?

Alvin Martin v us in the 80's when West Ham beat us 8-1.

 

how many keepers did he score against in that game?

3 :lol:

I think they were Martin Thomas, Beardsley and possibly Chris Hedworth. What a night !
