Gavin Gunning from Dundee Utd picked the ball up and left the field[emoji38]got ordered back on and just sat down till he was subbed.

 

Search "gavin gunning bizarre exit" on youtube.

That is incredible. Reminds me of Janmaat on Saturday when it comes to throwing the towel in.

 

Great sympathy from the crowd too.

As much as I've enjoyed watching Mahrez this season, every time I've seen Leicester Kante has been all over the pitch, contributing both attacking and defensive play. Deserves player of the season for me, but don't think he's got a chance in hell of winning it, unfortunately.

That is absolutely amazing. :lol:

 

I've seen most of the clips before but the article is great, and that vine where he's in the car :lol: :lol:

 

Enjoy reading Adam Hurrey's articles. @footballcliches is one of the better football accounts on Twitter as well.

The Premier League has removed referee Kevin Friend from Tottenham Hotspur's game at Stoke City on Monday, because he supports top-of-the-table Leicester.

 

Spurs are City's closest rivals, seven points behind with five games left.

 

The Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) do not pick Friend, who lives in Leicester and has attended games in a personal capacity, to referee matches involving the Foxes.

 

The PGMOL said "the timing and context" of the game saw them replace Friend.

 

"It was felt unnecessary to add extra scrutiny on the refereeing appointment," a PGMOL statement said.

 

Neil Swarbrick, from Preston, will take charge at Stoke, with Friend instead officiating Newcastle's game against Manchester City (wrong - Swansea) on Saturday.

Haven't they picked Clattenburg in games against our relegation rivals pretty recently? Not that it's done any f***ing favours but I'm sure I've seen that before.

Think you have to go Leicester & Spurs for those awards which I think is tough on Lukaku.I would go Kante, Kane.

 

I think these awards should be separated between English & Foreign Player and Young Player of the year. The current awards are heavily biased to English players.

 

Drogba scored something like 30 goals in 32 PL games, another 12 assists and lost the award to Rooney who scored less goals and had significantly less assists.

 

Lukaku will ave scored more than 70 PL goals in his career before he's 23 and won't have won Young Player of the Year.

New laws

 

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has published changes to the laws of the game for the 2016/17 season, the most notable altering sending-off and cautionable offences inside the penalty area.

 

The previous 'triple-punishment' rule meant that a player who denied a goal-scoring opportunity was automatically red-carded and handed a suspension, as well as giving away a penalty.

 

However, the law has now changed so that players committing accidental fouls, that deny a goal-scoring opportunity, are not automatically sent-off, but cautioned instead.

 

Players will still be sent-off for holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball or having no possibility to play the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball.

 

Referees' powers have also been extended so that they can send-off a player before kick-off, from the official's pre-match pitch inspection onwards.

 

Announced on Thursday, the new laws also state the ball will also be able to move in any direction from kick-off, rather than only move forward.

 

Players who are injured by a challenge punishable by a yellow or red card can now have quick treatment on the field, rather than having to leave, which previously gave the offending team temporary numerical advantage.

 

IFAB announced last month their intentions to change the laws following a comprehensive, 18-month review, led by former English Premier League referee David Elleray.

 

The IFAB unanimously approved the revision, which they identified as a 'once in a generation' opportunity to address anomalies and inconsistences in the laws.

 

The IFAB, the game's law-making body, also approved a two-year trial period of video technology to assist referees, to be used in four cases: to determine if a goal has been scored, red cards, penalties and mistaken identity.

West Ham's rent for the Olympic Stadium is £2.5m per year (halved to £1.25m if relegated).  It's been previously suggested that the tax-payer bill for running the stadium is £1.4m-£2.5m per year.

 

Disgrace.

 

Whole deal is a farce.

 

The taxper will also provide...

 

...or procure all necessary ticket checkers, turnstile operators. stewards within the Island and the Park, security personnel within the Island and the Park, ambulance and other medical personnel, staff for outlets, staff for restaurants and other public catering outlets, cleaning and maintenance staff and other personnel of suitable qualification and training, in sufficient numbers

 

Fucking hell  :suicide:

and west ham are contributing only 15m to the conversion cost of 272m. This is a disgrace of a deal they'd probably be as well off leaving it a white elephant as this basically giving the stadium to west ham

That's an absolutely shocking arrangement :lol:.

 

Who 'negotiated' that?

Bungle Boris wasn't it. Giving Tory donors Sullivan and Gold a nice parting gift.

Just read that should they negotiate naming rights for the stadium, the first £4m will go to the taxpayer but anything else is a 50:50 split.

 

Still though, if they win the Champions League, they have to pay £1m.  Bit harsh.
