No but it would be interesting to see how voted what way. I suspect it must have been a clear majority for them to make it the new rule. Haven't seen anyone (bar Rafa Benitez) moan about it and he only moaned because of the time-wasting aspect. Players health and well-being supercedes any other...

The DCMS have caused utter confusion for elite sports teams this week with their handling of team usage of hotels before games. 'Guidance' stated that teams couldn't eat together in their bubbles, in hotel meeting rooms as private dining. Hotels could host the teams but the players would have...

Just totally disagree. Regardless of who is starting, those were the benches we had and there's more than 3 players on each bench who could have some sort of impact coming off the bench. To think that they couldn't is naive. We've got the squad that we've got right. Are Baka, Pask and Kasta...

You think Robins isn't making subs because what we have on the bench is a significant drop in quality? Jesus wept.... Our benches in the last 5 games: * vs Watford - McFadz, Kelly, Allen, Wilson, Baka, Dacosta, Bapaga * vs Forest - Kelly, Allen, Wilson, Walker, Da Costa, Bapaga, Thompson * vs...

Like I said, the gulf in squad depths will always be there. We still need to name 7 subs now, the same as we've always done. Just means we can use more if needs be. I can see how it looks with the bigger teams benefitting but Bournemouth have a better squad than us anyway (as an example).

Disagree Dave. The gulf between clubs and squad depth will always be there. This will allow clubs to use players more sparingly...granted, not by a great deal, but it gives clubs greater flexibility in managing player 'workload' which should have a positive impact in player injury numbers...

Yeah maybe. But I doubt it!

Cheers MD. Yeah I knew that a couple would get my money back which it pretty much did. Bit gutted about Marc Leishman though...one shot better and he would've got me an extra £40-50 and was joint 9th at one point but then fell to joint 12th I think, one slot outside the top 11 that Sky were...

Briles PM'ed me. I won't say a thing.

What name Briles? If you don't want to post publicly, PM me hun x

I feel sorry for the fans of Bolton but they're an example of overspending and now getting their rewards for it. The years of paying for players like Okocha, Campo, Anelka, Hierro etc has helped their slide down the pyramid. Their fans enjoyed it whilst they were in the Prem and now...

Fair comment. More of a generalised statement to the England teams over recent years. A few exceptions in the current team. The work Rashford does for example should be highly commended.

And if you think we've been shite tonight (we've really not been), you shouldve watched a number of our performances over the last 5 years. Lacking in quality but driven by teamwork and desire.

We're a small nation with much less to choose from than the 'mighty' England. Would rather cheer 11 players who always give their all despite not being as gifted as many of the opponents we face rather than the prima-donna, overpayed players you cheer for. If you want passion in your national...

Yeah, I heard that on Sky Sports earlier. Interesting stat.

I have to disagree with your point about the difference being common knowledge. A couple of friends I've spoken to about it also said the same that it's a grey area - well those two examples are anyway. You're (not you - I mean generally) referring to someone as being coloured or as a person of...

Isn't that a really grey area though...surely it's just semantics...the word colour/ed has been used by both people in these cases...ones been castigated, one hasn't.

I LOVE the Masters. I'll be working in front of my TV from lunchtime today and tomorrow and already told Mrs WM not to get much out of me for the next 4 evenings! I've got into golf in a massive way over the last 5 years and worked with the European Tour last year in my old job which was great...

I don't want this thread to be controversial in any way but I wondered if someone could clear something up. Greg Clarke has obviously left his post as Chairman of the FA for some poor comments - the main one being used in the media being the word 'coloured'...
