    play off Form?

    You know, with all this maths going on its a wonder anyone's got time for football. I'm starting to understand why you got relegated.

    You are correct. Still, shielding the ball, whether in possession or not, is not impeding.

    Pointless Football Rules

    That's not what he said. If a player doesn't have possession but he's, say, two feet from the ball, then the ball is in range. If the ball is in range, the impeding law does/did not apply.

    Pointless Football Rules

    That's what I thought, but I've just had a look here: http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/footballdevelopment/technicalsupport/refereeing/laws-of-the-game/index.html and I can't find any reference to impeding either. In any case, the 'impeding' law only applies/applied when the ball was out of both...

    Pointless Football Rules

    It was Arsenal v Sheffield United, long before Adebayor's days though. Kanu got the ball from the throw in, passed to Overmars instead of, as per the custom, an opponent, and the Dutchman scored. Arsenal won 2-1. Mr Wenger offered a rematch, and Arsenal won 2-1 again.

    Pointless Football Rules

    Similar thing happened to us last season away to those red folk up the road. Clueless monkey Matt Mills on the deck, ball rolls into his hand, ref points to the spot. Knob.

    Pointless Football Rules

    Technical areas, the never-enforced 6 second rule, the one that requires penalties to travel forwards for fuck's sake, and the convoluted 'phases' nonsense when determining offside.

    Freddie flintoff boxing

    What CW has done is a good achievement considering where he's come from, but if we take a step back and look at the bigger picture it's a pretty ordinary career. Still, better than mine. Yes, Flintoff has been in professional sports all his adult life, but with respect to cricket it's nowhere...

    Freddie flintoff boxing

    Because Curtis Woodhouse trained as a boxer from a much younger age than Flintoff, and was reasonably good at it. Even so, his record is just about satisfactory, no more. Flintoff is just a fat bloke in his mid-30s, and if you watch him train you realise his technique is appalling. This will be...

    I would, because I notice these things. And I'm definitely not a Cov fan.

    Unfortunately, yes. Crewe, Wimbledon, Accrington - doesn't matter. Wrong is wrong is wrong.

    Well I don't know the numbers but when I can be bothered to watch it, I always watch to the end. Even Cov.

    That must be horrifying, even to visit.
