Flip Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 So... we played and lost a friendly against South Africa 1-0 During the game, Valdés was injuried (out for 6 weeks, yay) and we made a sub over the limit to bring Reina in, after consulting with the FIFA delegate. Now, because of this FIFA has voided the game, meaning that we won't lose FIFA ranking points, and SA won't earn them. So effectively they have favoured the "transgressor". FIFA Do you have a link to this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Everton v Liverpool The ''Holding Hands'' Derby. One of the lads on my podcast's pilot went on a rant about this Saying it doesn't count as a derby when you're all holding hands and making joint scarves.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I really don't understand joint scarves. I didn't mind the odd Newcastle United VS ''European Team'' DD/MM/YYYY badges when I was a kid because they were cool as fuck. But for regular league matches against the team up the road? Laughable!
