    What? One of each gender? What did you have in mind, mate?

    Presumably you are arguing for ex-players to look at stuff. It's interesting that cricket umpires are often ex-players, frequently at quite a high level too. In my experience they're pretty wise to the "law-stretching tactics" of players as they were often poachers turned gamekeepers.

    Has he got a horse? If so, do you have a very large sharp knife?

    By the way, is that true ... "The balance of probabilities" ?? I didn't know that and even more strange then. As I said all along, I'm probably on the side of he wanted to do it, but that would be such a tight "balance of probabilities" that I couldn't be sure.... it sort of flies in the face of referees not supposed to give decisions unless they are sure. Mings glances down before he goes over Rooney and then his eyes stay fixed in the direction of the ball. His leg doesn't change direction to either side and he lands naturally. I am amazed that they found him guilty.

    My feelings were about 52% - 48%. Still, that's enough to change the fundamental structure of an entire nation, so perhaps I should concede.

    Oh come on, FLT. Drop it. We all now know that 52% support is a "ringing endorsement". <doh>

    Yeah. So when John Terry went on trial for racially insulting Anton Ferdinand he was cleared in criminal court (no reasonable doubts), but the FA panel found him guilty anyway (balance of probabilities). Mings denied meaning to stamp on him but the hearing had to decide whether they believed him.

    PS I never said this made sense.

    His manager made a good point yesterday....he believed his player, the video (in my opinion) looked like it wasn't deliberate but was careless, and yet several experts decided it was deliberate and dangerous enough to warrant missing 5 matches...and we are about to introduce video referees. His point was that we can't look to video evidence and expect total agreement.

    Cherries miss a penalty then West Ham go up the other end and score.

    It's bizarre enough that Bmouth pick Afobe. But to then let him take a penalty...

    Good going for us so far, with West Ham and WBA both losing (and every chance of Burnley losing vs Liverpool). A solid end to the season for us, and we can finish in the top 8 for the fourth consecutive season.

    Massive goal for Hull.

    It is annoying seeing everton doing so well. Especially as they look like they'll keep hold of lukaku, he is way too good for them!

    It's brilliant isn't it. Cashing in on him at precisely the right time. We can put that 9 million toward a better and younger CB that will probably be on lower wages. Life is good.

    Agree about Lukaku, but disagree about Everton. I've not nothing against them, and with their squad they really should be in the top seven. Martinez just did an awful job for two years (albeit with a much weaker middle of the park than what Everton now have).
