markjazzbassist Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Has anyone seen the clips on YouTube of American football without pads and helmets. Looks much better too me. Too easy to be all macho in a helmet and plastic pads. I believe that's called rugby Bailey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'll be fast asleep when it happens but please please please let Johanna Konta beat Serena in Melbourne tonight, waking up to that would make my day. Think the winner of this game will win the title, Konta's rise has been astonishing over the last year or so, take the next step Jo!

markjazzbassist Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 it gets better the cheap bastards An interesting update on Dimitri Payet's sale to Marseille. Sky sources understand West Ham forced him to pay back his January salary before they let him move. Payet is paid £125,000 a week and West Ham’s stance cost him £500,000. Last year, Payet signed a five-year contract worth £125,000 a week and he was also given a £1m loyalty bonus in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 As much as I dislike West Ham they have done the right thing in requesting the money back from Payet, however the shirt thing is a joke, paying £25 to replace a shirt (which as this point of the season are usually reduced in price now anyway) is a great business move but also fleecing the fans. Horrible tinpot club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I wouldn't mind it for "injuries", might prevent people going down so easily if they know their team will be down a man for 2mins or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I wouldn't mind it for "injuries", might prevent people going down so easily if they know their team will be down a man for 2mins or so. I agree with one of the people in the comments section.. "It will work, as long as they look at what constitutes a yellow as well. Make diving into the crowd, shirt removal, mistimed tackle or other 'soft' yellows a final verbal warning, and keep the yellow for time wasting, diving, cynical fouls and other things that should be stamped out. Once managers catch on that they will be down to 10 more often than not, the players will soon get the message." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Just digressing. The law change I would like to see is 'no subs, for any reason, in last 15 minutes of a game'. The last 15 minutes of most games is just endless substitutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 15 minutes of most games is just endless substitutions. not even for a serious injury? Why do they have to keep changing the rules? just keep it the way it is, don't be adding in any stupid shite, don't be changing the offside rule for the millionth time. Hired decent refs or train/ retrain them to a decent level and the game will become even better. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather it was still like that than benches that boost the size of the crowd.
