The Footie Thread

[Swango1980]

World has made another step towards madness....in ten years time a player scoring a goal will need to write a personal apology to all the opposition fans for the pain that the goal caused.

While we are on madness....why is the FA cup draw on the One Show tonight? Why cant it be done after the Doncaster v Palace game? Are they trying to boost the ratings of a 3rd rate TV magazine show?

On the other points:

In the future, the player will need to write to the FA/Premier League, provide a written document as to what their next celebrations will be, along with a video demonstration. This will go to a panel to be discussed, and within 4 weeks the player will receive confirmation that their celebrations are acceptable. High goalscorers like Haaland will employ a personal goal celebration team to design his celebrations and to deal with all the paperwork.

And yes, I'm sure they are trying to boost the One Show ratings. It's rubbish. I've not watched a draw in years. I used to love watching the final FA Cup game of the round on a Sunday, and then going straight to the draw afterwards. Now the draw isn't even done after all the games have been played (excluding replays of course). And I'm absolutely not tuning into the One Show to watch it. I'll just see the draw when someone posts it in here or I read somewhere randomly.

Players booked for celebrating a goal?
Anyone would think it’s supossed to be entertainment.

I’m sure most footy fans are not easily upset!

And…..has the FA Cup draw always been done before the last game or two have been played?

I thought they at least waited until all the games had been played before doing the draw. But it’s being done before the games tonight and tomorrow?!

The last draw was done before all the games were completed

You'd wonder if the draw being done early could have an impact on games not played?

For example, if Exeter draw an away match against Man Utd, Man City, Villa or Newcastle, does it give them an extra few percent motivation against Forest than if they were drawn against Millwall or Preston?

Yes I noticed that at the time. Is that a new thing this season?! Or has it always been the way?

It certainly will in our case. For example, if us or Exeter are drawn to play Bournemouth, we might as well just give up and let Exeter win!

Think it went that way when games moved across to Monday

Essex police officer sacked after admitting ‘tragedy chanting’ at Anfield

Misconduct hearing found Tyler Coppin had breached standards of professional behaviour over offence

www.theguardian.com

Hopefully we will start to see less and less of the chanting about any tradegy

Just need social media to get on board with it

And why on earth when you’re in a position of authority like this would you even consider doing it

"What Plymouth's players have done today is disrespectful, for me. They've not won the FA Cup and to celebrate against a team that has won everything is just not on."
Carragher …Muppet

The quote I saw it on was on Football Awaydays . . It does sound like a PP joke now to be fair

Tbf, I loved him as a player but he does come out with some utter tosh! So I can see why it was believed!

Yeah it’s all coming from the Paddy Power tweet - he has been off this weekend watching his son as opposed to doing any comms

This was from the recent game against Man Utd

Police are cracking down on it more over the last 12 months
