ElDiablo Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2013/nov/12/beautiful-games-all-star-football-design Beautiful Games: north v south all star football - what if? 'I doubt it would ever happen, but I do love the idea of an All Star game,' says designer Dave Williams, who has fashioned these marketing proposals for an annual match featuring the best Premier League talent. His idea is a simple one - divide the teams north and south, allow fans to vote for their prefered players, select the top two from each team and let regional rivalries take hold. Safe to say the idea of Wayne Rooney teaming up with Luis Suárez against their southern counterparts would be mouthwatering. In design terms, Williams has used chevrons and architectural landmarks throughout the branding and kit designs to create a sense of belonging. Williams works as a senior designer in Liverpool and says, tongue in cheek, his big break came when he won a Pizza Hut colouring competition aged seven. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/11/12/1384263611675/Premier-League-All-Stars--010.jpg wat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Slippery Sam Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 If we're going to perpetuate the shit ideas, why don't we form a team of players from north of Southampton and play them in a team against Cornwall and the Channel Islands? Yeah, just as shit as that other idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Picking those teams, it did feel like the wealth of the talent is in the north. It was a lot more difficult to fit in the talent in the south team, whereas the north team I've ended up leaving out players like Van Persie and Yaya Toure.

LRD Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Football Association defeated in summer plans to ban players for diving using video evidence Attempts to introduce new laws may be ressurected by FA following latest diving controversies. A Football Association plan to ban players for diving using video evidence was blocked by the Premier League, Football League and elite referees, it has emerged. During a week in which Ashley Young and Ramires thrust the issue of simulation back into the spotlight, Telegraph Sport has learnt efforts to stamp it out of the English game were vetoed during the summer. The Football Regulatory Authority, which decides upon rule changes in England, discussed emulating Scotland by introducing retrospective action for diving at a meeting this year. The proposal was backed by the FA but failed to gain the support of the game’s other stakeholders, in particular the two professional leagues and Professional Game Match Official Ltd. With the FA wedded at that stage to the concept of rule changes being enacted only by stakeholder agreement, the idea was duly dropped. But the furore over alleged dives by Manchester United winger Young at Real Sociedad and Chelsea midfielder Ramires against West Bromwich Albion looks set to spark attempts to resurrect it. With the FA having abandoned protocol last month by forcing through a mid-season change to its rules on retrospective action – in defiance of the Premier League and Football League – it may be emboldened to attempt something similar with diving. FA chairman Greg Dyke was the driving force behind a tweak to the regulations which take effect a week on Friday after Fernando Torres avoided trial by video for raking the face of Jan Vertonghen. Whether Dyke or the FA have the appetite to rush through a rule change on diving before the summer remains to be seen but it is understood that there is enough support for it to be debated again in the close season. The Scottish Football Association has used video evidence to ban players for simulation in recent years, with two-match suspensions sometimes applied even though it is only a yellow-card offence if punished on the field of play. The opposition of the professional game to such a rule being adopted in England centres on the difficulty in proving whether a player has dived and the wider implications for banning a player whose actions may have materially affected the outcome of a match. However, several Premier League managers have called for retrospective action on simulation, including Young’s and Ramires’s own bosses. United’s David Moyes, who absolved Young of diving against Sociedad, said: “I said after the game and I have said for many years diving is something we should have retrospective video for. That would help referees no end.” Mourinho said of simulation last month: “I say I hate it. If you were born in countries where simulation is accepted, the moment you come to this country you have to change immediately your ship. "This is not about winning or losing, this is about keeping a culture or allowing a culture to change. "I have not dropped a player because of diving, but I have been strong and critical. "I spoke about it with [Didier] Drogba and [Arjen] Robben. Of course, my players know they will be in big trouble with me if they dive. I tell them many times I hate it. It’s very bad.” Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger last season called for an ethics committee to be set-up to adjudicate over diving incidents retrospectively. “With this committee, an obvious dive should be punished by a three-match ban,” he said. Former Stoke City manager Tony Pulis echoed that, saying last season: “I’ve been on about and banging the drum about people who fall over. “It’s an embarrassment. The FA should be looking at this.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/10445341/Football-Association-defeated-in-summer-plans-to-ban-players-for-diving-using-video-evidence.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
