    Glad I'm not going completely crazy!

    Typical football that. Instead of enforcing current rules we'll just create new ones.

    That rule doesn't need altering IMO. In my experience when I tell a keeper to get on with it they do so. They waste a lot more time at goal kicks. They don't need booked nearly enough for timewasting then.

    I've always thought the crowd behind the goal should count it as would be harder for the ref to ignore if it gets to 10-11

    See the issue right there...

    Most the crowds I've seen can't count or string a sentence together.

    Otherwise, cracking idea :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Bit harsh!

    Most can get to 10 easily enough

    Those wearing sandals can even get to 20






    And about half of those can get to 21 before being ejected from the stadium

    There was a running joke on the Echo site that 43% of posters couldn't spell, while the remaining 59% couldn't add up...

    Montpelier manager sacked immediately after a 5-0 loss on Sunday with the club president announcing it in the after match interview.
    The president blamed the players for his sacking but he couldn’t sack them, so the manager went.
    The headline is a little misleading as the report says the manager was informed in the dressing room.
    They won 1 match in 8, so better than RM.

    Can we get the manager of the team that finished second in this Swedish women’s league to give RM some defending tips. NO goals conceded all season.

    TBH I think that manager should be sacked for still failing to win the league!

    How do you draw three times all season, win all the rest, never concede a single goal… and still come second. They even took 4 points off the team that won!

    121 goals scored in 18 games. Worse than kids football.

    When I was a nipper I played in the Priestlands (Lymington) school team an we won the New Forest league with no goals against for a whole season. This would've been c. 1960! But we did draw one 0-0. There was a kids comic called The Tiger and we won the team of the month at the end of the season.

    Sadly Its been downhill for me ever since that heady moment!
