Guest chopey Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 My opinionated father in law with a view on everything just came in and saw me watching this Arsenal match and said "nee wonder football is knackered, look how many fans are in that stadium!!" I'm astounded how many people in this country walk around with their head firmly buried in sand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Why can you never get our 93-95 home shirt with player names and numbers on the back? Were they strictly for the players only due to the way they were printed? Just you can buy the blue and green change kits from that era with name and number prints but never the home kit.

They're just pretty rare - Classicfootballshirts have had a few in the past. I guess people who own them don't want to sell and getting names and numbers on wasn't common. Remember a lad coming into school with Beardsley 8 on the 95-97 top and everyone being amazed by it/asking how and where. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I don't think it was possible to get official names and numbers on the back of the 93-95 home one? The players' ones had that black patch on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 There was this game where I think Steve McClaren was losing 3-0 at half-time, or something like that. It was a European game with Boro maybe. Anyway, he brought on three strikers and they drew or won, or something. And he was roundly praised. (What else was he going to do in that position?) Does anyone know what game I'm on about, or have it made it up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 You'll be thinking about one of these two games: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/4875620.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4933504.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Talking to my eldest son about the importance of experience yesterday (particularly in relation to players playing in centre midfield and the risk of title chasers such as Man City playing someone like Foden week in, week out) and we got to discussing where 'experience' is slightly less important in title winning/chasing teams. We agreed that you're very unlikely to win the league without a very experienced CB in the team (VvD for example). He then asked 'Dad, do you think Liverpool would've won the league if you replaced their full backs with ours?'. My feeling was no because of the way they play/the set up. Views?

joeyt Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yeah they wouldn't have won the league with our full backs. Think that's pretty obvious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 My views are, how old is your son? The opening lines of that made it seem like a coming of age tale starring your eldest; the middle made me think he must be more-or-less an adult, then the curveball at the end where I'm picturing you both silhouetted on the brow of a hill, credits about to roll. Just totally lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 What's the biggest decline in a topflight teams position from 1 year to the next. Is it us is from 2nd to 13th, or did Leeds eclipse it from champions League to relegation? Don't recall if their drop was just over 1 season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It took a couple of seasons for Leeds to sink. Ipswich from 5th to 18th is probably the biggest recent one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Leeds from 1st to 17th between 91/2 & 92/3 like you say will be close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hypothetical - a player on a yellow is subbed. On his way off the park he gives the ref a load of abuse and is shown another yellow and a subsequent red. Question is, does the sub still come on? At what point does the substitution actually take place? Does the red card mean he can't now be subbed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butcher Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 A different player will have to come off if the sub is to come on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point does the substitution actually take place? Does the red card mean he can't now be subbed? If he's still on the pitch when shown the red then the sub can't come on. Depends how vindictive the referee is. I'd imagine most wouldn't bother giving the second yellow if the player was going off the pitch anyway. Surely would have seen it happen with players like Rooney a few times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Pretty sure thats what happened here, player didnt leave the pitch at the nearest side. Judging how much complaining their manager is doing I'm guessing the waiting sub didnt get on. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/irish-league/glentoran/watch-darren-murray-receives-strange-red-card-while-being-substituted-as-glentoran-boss-slams-pathetic-referee-38564396.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
