Why, when teams are well on top and out playing the oppo, they finally score and change the way they play, defending deeper and deeper?
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Threats to family etc will always get a ref on united's* side.

Why do you get only 3 substitutions per match?

Would getting another or 2 really waste that much extra time? Is it a way to make managers' jobs more difficult and the games "more interesting" via tiring players?

How Do Suited and Booted twats like AVB, BODGERS get jobs at top clubs. Why do refs book an op player when Barca have little shits like Alba sniding his way through games. How can a pie be £1 in Greggs and a fiver at a ground.

Why call it football when players mostly use their hands?

On your first point, it's the home club's decision whether to have extra balls available.

On your second point, what would you consider 'decent'? The 'elite group' refs earn well over £100k a year and have all expenses paid. Football league referees are paid expenses of somewhere in the region of £1000 per game. As with any job, the better you get, the more you get paid.

I'm sure I remember Pearce trying it before getting told off by the powers that be. Surely we'd see it somewhere if the premier league allowed it

2 minutes looking something up before posting ?

I don't understand the offside rule though.


You obviously read fuck all about the validity of regression analysis a few weeks back, and I'd love to know how you looked up Patrick Vieira's career map
