Stal Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I remember that manu said they'd retire Mark Hughes' number 10 shirt. Pretty sure that didn't last long. Maybe it was a wrestling retirement for the number? Also, doesn't one of the Bristol clubs not allow the number 12 shirt to be worn as its meant to be for the fans as theyre like their 12th man or something?

henke Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_retired_numbers_in_association_football Orlando Pirates & Rushden & Diamonds. Cheers. Tbh i don't mind clubs retiring numbers as long as the number isn't 1 to 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It doesn't seem right in football for any shirt to be retired. Whereas in NBA it does to me. Must be because in basketball any number can be worn at any position so they are more closely attached to the player himself. In football there is still a positional relevance to the numbers for 1 to 11 so it makes me think the shirt should be in service of the team not the individual. If we had a number 9 scoring 50 goals and winning us the league, still wouldn't want it retired. It's better to have a passing of the torch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I can't remember any discussion at all about retiring the number 9 back in 2006. Mind you, was there a period of a few years in the late 90s where away fans were banned in the derby? I'm sure there was but my memory of that time is shot to shit.

NEEJ Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 What would happen next Sunday regarding the Championship trophy if us and Brighton are still going toe to toe? Do they have some duffer in a helicopter ready to head to Birmingham or town? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton would get the real one with them being in a better position I would imagine. But there's a trophy for 2nd too isn't there, so there'll have to be two trophies at each ground? If the real Championship trophy is at Brighton's match (with them being in the better position), they'll be gutted when they get handed the snidey 2nd place trophy!

sbnufc Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Why do those 5th & 6th officials go on the same side as the linesman? Would it not make more sense to be on the opposite side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Why do those 5th & 6th officials go on the same side as the linesman? Would it not make more sense to be on the opposite side? Aye, I've always wondered that as well. Seems stupid not have the officials more evenly spread across the pitch. It's to encourage the Referee to continue running his full diagonal. They introduced the AAR on the opposite side of the field from the AR and they found that the referee was then not getting into a good position (sort of boxed between the two sets of ARs) and was then getting stuck ourside of the Penalty area in the middle of the field. Moving the AAR to the side of the AR meant that the referee could continue his diagonal run deeper into the left side of the Penalty Area where he had a better view of the shenanigans going on in the Penalty Area.
