Yes, another one for the list of things refs could cut out instantly if they wanted to. There’s also the option of the linesman and the fourth official getting involved to police the dugouts involvement too, whilst the GK gets treatment for his “injury”. Then we’ll no doubt see water bottles hurled on with instructions attached! Feels a bit American sports-y but you could have a nominated player who has to spend the 30 seconds off the pitch should the keeper need treatment

We could also do the same if we needed to and its not just for opponents to do it. If you cannot beat em then join em even if many both on and off the field feel we are above all this.

And two other things that bug me……
“The points have been shared” - No they haven’t. It’s 1 point for a draw, not 1.5. It’s a media saying harking back to when it was 2 for a win, so although that saying was true then, it’s not now and hasn’t been for over 40 years. Just say it was a draw FFS. I think it’s just a thing they use similarly when they try to say things a bit differently. They never read out a cup draw just using the words “versus” or “play” between the teams. They have to break it up with teams “entertaining” or “hosting”.
“He’s got the shirt” - He’s ALWAYS got the shirt. It’s numbered and has his own name on it, so no-one else is going to wear it. This old saying also harking back to the 1-11 days when shirts were shared!
Feel much better for that now. Cheers, Thank You 👍🏻

I,d add getting a yellow or red card to this also. No they have received a caution or been sent off and there is no dead ball because it was never alive in the first place, its a goal kick.

On the Fourth Official, when the Referee makes a decision why do Managers / Coaches have a go at the 4th Official ?? - he's not the one that's made the F-ing decision....

Possibly because he is the closest person on hand to give a moan to. Before that position was created it was the bench side lino that got all the stick which was the reason when i ran the line i insisted on doing the job on the other side of the pitch after a couple of incidents that could have turned nasty.

As they don’t need a decent grass pitch to play on, then a ground share with that lot last night is an idea. Especially since we won’t (hopefully) have to go there ever again.

I usually limit myself to Number Ones on days I’m in the office, but as of today I can add toilets where the watery bit is roughly in the middle of the bowl rather than towards the back to this list. As if I don’t have enough to do without having to clean smears of sh*t off the back of a crapper designed by someone unfamiliar with the Bauhaus principles.

I very much made the No. 17 shirt my own when I used to play League at university!

Often after a lucky rebound or a defensive error the ball fortuitously ends up in the net - then the commentator announces that it was a move straight off the training ground!! You may get a few each season (Wootton sweeping one in from a corner springs to mind) but I guess it’s one of the lazy cliches commentators use.

You may get a few each season (Wootton sweeping one in from a corner springs to mind) but I guess it’s one of the lazy cliches commentators use. The commentators gushing over Man City’s goal against Liveroool last week. “Brilliantly worked set piece, coaches up and down the country will be looking in admiration. And John Stones gets there to finish it off”. De Brunye just hit it low and hard to the near post, Aké manhandled his marker and for some reason Nunez was “marking” Stones by standing a good yard behind him. If that’s some incredible set piece routine then I could be a set piece coach.
