I've never done such a U-Turn on a player. I used to detest Klinsmann before he arrived, the way he dived was ridiculous. I hated him. Then he signs and I was left speechless, not just that, he turns out to be a complete gentleman, fantastic pro and had a real connection with the fans. Even though he was with us briefly he must go down as one of the best players to ever pull on a spurs shirt, World class finisher and was gutted when he left!

Absolute no-brainer, but it's good news. We just need to see refs properly enforcing the line now.
The Italians already started to work out ways around it, which largely involved refusing to step back the full distance and hoping that the ref would bottle it and just spray where they stood.
It worked on several occasions and I think it'll work in the Premier League. For some team, at any rate.

Even during the World Cup some teams were working ways around it - the Greeks stood on the line rather than behind it in their game against Japan, for one.
 
Some ludicrous scenes at the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland, as the hosts and Mexico faced each other in a youth game:

No idea what sparked it off, but it clearly got massively out of hand. Three Mexicans were dismissed and one local lad, who was recently signed by Leeds, which may explain it. <laugh>
 
I couldn't stop laughing when the guy in red, who I'm guessing is a defender, went to clear the ginger ball towards to the halfway line. He almost detached it from the gingernut's shoulders.

Actually a backward step. This simply means that people get way with breaking the rule that they have to be ten yards back until they have time to sort out their defence.
 
This month's WSC sums up Robbie Savage's "talents" with the precision of a laser and the force of a sledgehammer...

The BBC's continued employment of Robbie Savage, meanwhile, is presumably down to some dumb bigwig's belief that he's "provocative". In fact, the only things that Robbie Savage "provokes" are rolled eyes and muttered expletives, and then a lunge for the remote control. Yes, the British public love an idiot, but only if they're in some way unique - Savage could have been hauled out of any horrendous high-street pub in the country. A loudmouth with something to say is good television. A loudmouth with nothing to say just looks like what they are: an obnoxious, pig-ignorant fraud.
