    The fight before the goal

    Yes I preferred the older simple law, which only deemed you weren't interfering if you were miles away from the action, or hobbling back from an injury. Staying onside was an integral part of the game, whereas now it seems to be optional.

    The fight before the goal

    In grass roots football, the intimidation of referees is just one consequence of some people turning up not to play sport but to prove their macho credentials. Anything to cause a confrontation, be it aggressive language or premeditated bad tackles that would merit a court appearance if they...

    The fight before the goal

    On this forum we sometimes debate a decision for days afterwards, with the benefit of multiple replays from different angles. How are officials at pitch level supposed to go through 90 minutes without making a number of (possible) errors? Accept that wrong decisions are bound to happen, and over...

    The fight before the goal

    It looked to me like the Burnley player inadvertently crashed into Wilson, who reacted slightly by pushing him downwards. Everything that followed was just handbags.

    King

    No, lots of companies use the same nominal address as a convenience (no doubt there is some technical or financial advantage to that). I believe it was found to be the case that one of King's companies used the same addressing facility as one related to Sisu. I'm not saying Sisu aren't still...

    Attack & Defence Effectiveness

    Interesting charts, and I like the terminology. It seems Rotherham are languidly clinical, and competent but busy pushovers.

    Out of interest, where do you live? Have you just decided to follow our fortunes, or can you get to matches?

    Maybe just keeping Boddy on for a while for continuity purposes?

    Doug King Takeover

    What are the day-to-day roles and relationship between King (Executive Chairman) and Boddy (Chief Executive)? Edit: probably not a wise question to ask

    Also search-based ad placement. Hill83 got offered a coffee machine after googling ‘hot, dark and tasty’.

    Doug King Takeover

    As someone who used to have season tickets but no longer does, maybe I have a slightly different experience of CCFC marketing. They always send pre-match and post-match emails with nice links to the relevant stuff on the website, and before Xmas I got emailed an offer for half-season tickets, as...

    For my demographic, can the system generate a telegram?

    There's a wonderful disclaimer on the 'about' tab of that site, written in pure Fisher-speak

    Video 'Nobody knows you here, but I do!' | Callum Doyle interviews new signing Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    Easy enough to say that, but I was impressed with him – he’s had the balls to put himself in that embarrassing position of interviewing a fellow young player, and carried it off just fine IMO. The pair of them come across as genuine guys with a great attitude. Hope they both go far in the game...

    Gyokeres to Everton- Two in exchange?

    Very true. Just as Grendel wasn't the only one who said they wanted to keep him. The last couple of hours on this thread :rolleyes:

    Doug King Takeover

    Really don't know why this thread has become so confrontational. The club has applied for a takeover, and it's taking longer than expected (for whatever reason). That's turbulence. The recruitment team has had to be replaced. That's also turbulence.

    City 4 Spurs 3

    Best game ever. Will never forget the pandemonium in the West End when Cyrille put it against the bar then headed in the rebound.
