    Hair bands, tights, gloves and pink boots. What's next, make up breaks?
    I know, I will probably get gender posts.

    I’m in
    Both my shins are a mess from my many years of playing on the wing or up front against defenders who couldn’t play for toffee but done their best to stop those who could.

    Also...those who actually score a goal seem hell bent on on sliding on their knees in the corner ......don't they know, is been done, think of something original...or ...just shake hands, say well done and make there way back for for the re start

    Every time I see that I always think, Oooh! I hope nobody’s put any broken glass out there.

    I like playing and watching tennis and as far as I can tell it's still the same game it always was just with better racquets and fitter players. Anything extra like Hawkeye is unobtrusive and well executed.

    It's a shame football didn't follow the same path.

    It seems as you say Tennis, Cricket (IPL great atm) and Rugby all have their version of VAR by and large working well. Its only football authorities that mess it up.

    Although I reckon its not just VAR that's at fault. I.e. this giving a foul if there is a slight touch and pretending to be hurt..VAR should assist in penalising such antics instead of supporting them. That's the authorities not VAR. The micro millimetre offsides are ridiculous. Also not showing the replays on screens (is this really because manure and the bindippers do not have screens). If the clock were stopped for var and other halts that would also help imho and everyone could see it.

    Me too - booing sent me straight to Chelsea’s side. The F A should make LFC apologise and explain for their fans. Doubt if they have the balls to question Liverpool though

    Local team to me had a good cup run a couple of years. Paid for a new 3g pitch in the town. Matchdays open it up for all the kids to play on.

    The blades are absolutely awful in my opinion. Particularly for kids. I am convinced they cause injury problems because they create unnatural grip. I still wear my ancient puma kings for coaching and dont think I have ever seen a better modern boot.

    This is all to much. Puma kings with metal screw in studs.

    It doesn't get any better than that

    Two good runs in the FA Cup and FA Trophy a couple of seasons ago generated enough to cover the entire playing budget for the season for my current lot.

    apart from a goal in 120 minutes.

    Magic of the cup my arse. Its all well and good the little team knocking out the bigger team, just as long as they can sell the final with 2 massive clubs. It's a load of ****e. I much prefer the leauge cup because it's under the lights.

    Puma Kings, the choice of real men, Adidas had their equivalent but I always went for Puma. Two pairs, studs and mouldies.

    It all started to go wrong when EUFA began interfering.
