    Arsenal v Palace You can always tell how enthralling the action is………. When the commentators are talking anything except what’s happening on the pitch! Modern footy 🙄

    A brilliant AV goal negated by this crazy pass back , farting around at the back, fashion which coaches are insisting on staying with. Total idiocy

    Like in Rugby League. Everyone knows where they are, including the spectators. Yes, bring it on.

    The Footie Thread

    Good points, especially re managers area. I always thought that unless it was an apparent head injury or obviously serious ( e.g collapse and lying still) , then the ref should allow play on. Some of the theatricals re injury are just that and should be ignored. Take a leaf out of Rugby Leagues...

    Spurs aimless passing, finally passed into touch. Never heard of a through ball. Just pass it to the player it’s easiest to pass to. You can see “training ground “ mentality reigns.

    I was impressed with his speech in which he showed his humanity. He impresses me with more than just his formidable golf

    Man City style, building from the goalie etc, is to my mind boring. But that isn’t too much of a problem, to me. Because they did it with some success,( it has to be said, ) it doesn’t mean that they would have been unsuccessful if they had played differently. The fact is they had(have) good...

    The Footie Thread

    Of course it is exciting. I watched it and enjoyed it. Which brings me to an idea, may not be new, but in light of the awful pitta patta crap around the defenders penalty area which we see now, may I ask what chaps think of changing the way the winners of the Premier league, and others ,are...

    Playing a practice shot during a competition round

    Just seen this. For discussion sake, I’m not sure I agree. I don’t think you can call provisional just like that, the same as you can choose ‘stroke and distance’ If there is a chance the first ball is going to be lost or out of bounds, then ,yes, call and play a provisional. But if your first...

    Playing on the modern pitches and with better officials, then yes, they would be better, IMO.

    The Footie Thread

    Forest v Spurs. What sort of twisted reasoning by the commentators , blaming the young outfield player for the Forest goal. The fault lies with the goalkeeper pushing the ball to him when he was closely marked by the ( resulting) scorer. And ultimately the coach(es) who promote this nonsense of...

    Playing a practice shot during a competition round

    Well, as it’s written….”you can be disqualified for that”, then at that point all he’s done is hit a second ball. There’s no suggestion that he then played the first ball. It might be assumed, I suppose, but for Player B to suggest disqualification at the point he did ( as written), says he was...
