Agreed. Not just in football but many walks of life. So desperate for them to make it they push so hard the kid starts despising the thing they're being pushed to do and once that happens they've got almost no chance of doing it successfully because their heart's not in it.

Undone by the long ball too easily for the first couple.

I agree, and would add Sheaf to the list as he adds something different to midfield from Hamer, and arguably allows him more freedom. Personally, I think Sheaf is likely to be more in demand than Hamer because his stats look really good and that's what a lot of scouting will go on. Gyokeres is...

And for the death penalty. Basically a lot of them seem to feel an unborn foetus has more rights that an actual child. What annoys me most about the US anti-abortionists is that they hound people who want an abortion because they can't afford a child, then if they keep it as soon as the child...

How can one of the checks and balances (the judiciary) be chosen by another (the executive)? It makes an absolute mockery of independent judiciary. It should be decided by a poll of the judges and have nothing to do with the President. The whole thing is the brainchild of the human tortoise...

Not likely to be popular but handball rules do my head in as their too subjective. Was it deliberate? Is the arm in an unnatural position? How about just make it that if the ball hits a hand it's an indirect freekick, even in the area. If it's a blatantly obvious one to deny a goal or...

Lots of good ideas here which I agree with. Can we also have an unwritten rule where fans pile on to any pundit's social media that congratulates a team for time-wasting, feigning injury, winning a penalty by looking for contact, 'takes on for the team' to stop an attack or just general shitty...

Ball is only in play for about an hour in any given game, so stopped clock for an hour long game would be fine.

I don't think he's lazy either, but I don't think he adds anything to our team if he's not getting on the end of chances either.

I don't like that people can pay for iplayer then have loads of games cancelled because of selection for TV. Broadcasters should have to reimburse those who should have had access to a game via the club. This is especially true of overseas games from what I've heard.

I don't think he's really been tried in the position he'd most naturally be able to adapt to, even though it's one we've been crying out for all season - ACM. He'd be a great foil/alternative to O'Hare and take some pressure and attention away from him. Someone on here wrote that they'd seen...

Agree with you except for Allen. I think he's a useful squad player, Probably don't need a CM workhorse if we keep Sheaf and Hamer, as hopefully Eccles will kick on and Allen can also fill in. We need at least one CB, 2 including replacing JCS, an AM and a LWB as priorities. If we could...

Yep. For me that is the spine of the team I would like to build from. Just need to add at least one defensive name to that list to give us a real spine to the team.

£10m with add-ons maybe acceptable. Although this is more applicable to sales of youngsters like Maddison, bu on top of the common sell-on percentages I think I'd also be looking at appearance fees as well, for example £50k for every PL appearance, £25k for Chamionship etc.

I do. Because I'd rather know who the racists are and see them being challenged and humiliated than hidden away in some echo chamber where their messed up take is validated until their thoughts are so warped they do something serious. Another example is misogny. Do you think it's good to have a...

I understand why a lot of people are angry, as I was reading that shite, and the poster couldn't complain at all if they were banned. But this is a situation whereby deleting this thread entirely, despite how abhorrent it is, could be counterproductive. The subject of free speech often crops up...

Maybe. Maybe not. But let's say we play Hamer and he scores/creates a goal in a win, but gets booked and so misses the first three games of next season. Is that a worthwhile trade off? Personally I'd leave Hamer out of this game to ensure he's not suspended starting next year, even though we'll...

But how do we know if play had continued that we might have scored. As it was it slowed the game down, which is affecting our momentum in a small way, even if we do still manage to keep on attacking after. If you press the brakes on a car it will reduce its forward momentum, even if the car...

I agree. If all of those players we have that should have been vying for first team spots but weren't had been up to scratch our squad size would have been OK. Every club will have some duds though, so in reality you need a few more because it'd be practically impossible to have every player...

Maybe, but as far as I know it doesn't affect the prize money we recieve and if there's something we can do that could help us build towards next season such as looking at squad players or giving experience to youngsters, even if just on the bench, that would be a more sensible use of the game...
