I wasn't convinced that either was intentional but it seems that in the Kangaroo Court they adopt a different rule to the courts in terms of proof required. The whole system would be improved if they used a panel of former players.
The decision needs to be unanimous, so you'd always end up with bias from one of the players. The fact is, the FA have twisted themselves up so much that they're just open to 24/7 ridicule now and when it works in my club's favour I'll laugh about it, but sooner or later the boot's on the other foot and it's crap.
Its all messed up ,the prem has replaced the wrestling on the telly its a FARSE and almost panto stuff, bring back men instead of these cheating fairies .
I think you need to just accept that they're not going to be 'bringing back the men', Stu. The game's changed, and you either accept that or you watch lower league football, where you're much likely to see more of the old school sort of game. I can't really comprehend how miserable it is for you, watching a team with no ambition, year in year out, but it explains why you yearn for the days of past glory.
I used to work with a guy called Shirley, went by the name of Bob for obvious reasons. He must have been tortured at school.
I THOUGHT that The Premier League had their own Panel, however that's not important. Whatever the rules are at present, they can be changed. In any case by no means all former players are biased in favour of their former employers. But it should be possible to employ a group of 'respected' (sane and sober?) players who could disclose, in advance, any likely bias, for or against. And why not a majority decision As an example, taken from his 'punditing' work, Alan Shearer has, as far as I can recall, been very fair to us. When we have deserved derision, he's given it and when we have deserved praise, that's been given to. It stand to reason, to me at least, that someone who has played the game at a high level for up to 20 years is going to understand what's going on and, for example spot a fall from a trip or a dive.
Although I agree with a lot of the others (especially the driving), mine are more girlie: people who don't wash their hands after using the toilet people who spit in the street smelly people A few others but I won't go on!!
sad but very true , the subs are even picked on the basis of how they can change in a game as its played now, A Screams even when the opposing player misses altogether B How many times can he roll over (i can assure you if your leg is broken you lay still ) C The ability to limp away not hurt to get the refs doubting themselves D A hand placed however gently results in a swan dive E Be good at organising a flash mob around the ref F sad very sad but true about the game its self, as for glory keep it if thats all you care about, too late for the game its been reduced to panto
In the Victory Club in London, (a club for any Service Personnel), an Army Officer and an RAF Officer are both using the toilet faccilities When finished the RAF Officer turns to walk out. Excuse me, says the Army Officer, at Sandhurst we were taught to wash our hands after urinating. Really, says the RAF Officer, at Cranwell we were taught how to piss without getting our hands wet.
I think it would soften the blow if you were winning consistently. I'd rather support winning pansies than losing pansies. I also think a lot of modern players would like to be more physical but they just have to 'play the game'. If your pansies get Newcastle in the FA Cup final and win, I don't think the celebrations would be muted, just because they are sissy boys.
standing outside in a line of recruits all starkers the MO walked along with his short cane under his arm if asked name and intro short number you gave it in reply with MO SIR, he stopped at me i gave him my name short number with MO SIR, he got the little cane and pointed at my bits and said ..a bit small down there lad i replied we are only going to fight them arent we MO SIR
Money innit. Footballers priorities have changed. Just like F1 drivers. Just like boxers. Maybe Rugby has some integrity left, if you like watching that sort of thing.
The difference between the three services traditions: In the Navy the Captain goes down with his ship. In the Army the Officer leads his men into battle. In the RAF the officers are put into aeroplanes to go and fight whilst the erks head for the shelters.
To return to the topic, (unusual for me), one of my regular irritations happens in Supermarket checkout queues. The lady in front has her huge weekly shop. She stands in the queue beaming at the pile in the trolly waiting for her turn to fill the belt with her goods. Eventually it's her turn. On they pile and she goes to the end still smiling as if she's been a really good girl. IF you are lucky she might start to pack but she's just as likely to start to natter to the cashier. Eventually it's all done. The cashier tell her the cost. A look of total surprise crosses her face. She starts hunting for her card. It takes an age but she's still smiling and saying sorry to the cashier. She was standing in the queue for minutes before, why didn't she have it ready? MOST blokes on the other hand are in such a rush to get out of the place that they have it all prepared in advance to be able to get the hell away as soon as possible.
The supermarket checkout queue is one of the worst places in the world for me, for a different reason. Invasion of personal space. Take your stupid veiny scruffy little claws off the belt, I'm not finished putting my stuff on there, I don't need to smell what you had for dinner so take a few steps back, I can feel the straggly ****ing whispy hair on your chin tickling the back of my neck, you toothless, disgusting Tesco Value, greasy horrible little pigeon. It happens everywhere, Chinese folk are the worst... why are you breathing in my face, we're not at a Beijing traffic crossing, we're in Subway. Hot and sour dickheads.
