Fifa will be trying out a fourth substitution if the game goes to Extra time in the Olympics this summer. Personally I think it's a good idea, should increase the tempo in ET which at the moment is often quite dull with tired players waiting for penalties.

I'd personally just scrap extra time and go straight to penalties, I really dislike extra time and much prefer the lottery of penalties.

 

I think we'd find many more teams playing for penalties if they were 90 minutes away instead of 120, which would give us duller games.

is there a way we can shoehorn in some playoffs? maybe divide each team into two 5-a-sides and have the four teams play each other in a first goal wins format? the first two games could even run simultaneously on the same pitch for added fan excitement and sponsorship opportunity. If the two winning sides are from the same team the final doesn't have to be played.

With only city left in the cl are we still in danger of losing the top 4?

 

Not anymore. Italy have nobody left.

 

We are next season though.

John Swift was left out of Brentford's matchday squad for Saturday’s Championship game against Blackburn Rovers over a controversial post on social media.

 

The on-loan Chelsea midfielder, who was named in the England U21 squad this week, received a backlash from Bees supporters on Friday night after commenting on an Instagram post by UFC fighter Conor McGregor.

 

McGregor's post read: "Some days they love you. Some days they hate you. Both days I got paid."

 

And Swift replied on the eve of Brentford's 1-0 defeat at home to Blackburn by stating: "What a guy."

 

That appears to have been interpreted as a criticism of Brentford supporters but he insisted that was not the case in a subsequent post.

 

He wrote: "The last post wasn't a dig at the Brentford fans at all, I apologise."

 

However, the 20-year-old was still told he was dropped from the squad at the team hotel on the morning of the game.

 

Brentford boss Dean Smith said: "John wasn't in the team anyway but he posted something on social media that I was made aware of.

 

"I spoke to him this morning and I just didn't think it was right to put him on the bench today.

 

"He explained it when he took it down and apologised. I don't think there was any malice in it, but it was naive from a young lad.

 

"Sometimes I don't think they realise how many people it goes out to once they press the enter key, such is social media.

 

"He'll go on international duty now with England U21s, which we're pleased about, but we'll speak to him." 

 

Seems a bit harsh
