I think it is a pathetic rule to be honest!

What sounds worse being thrashed or having your game cancelled after 10 minutes becuase your shit?

As it goes Im not sure if this is still the case but in Rugby doesnt the same happen if there is a 50 point gapin the first half?

will never happen imo what happens when a league goes to goal difference and a team lose out by say a goal or 2 because of that rule

Thats quite stupid! I can understand how it's come about but if the kids on a team are loosing more than 9-0 then surely thats a sign that they need to play better! Loosing 42-0 is bad, but how often does that happen?! It's being over-protective of them, just because they are young - but if they're crap then they're crap - thats it!

Fifa would laugh at the FA for that idea i would reckon
