Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Suarez is the biggest cheater in football regarding diving, and what the major problem is that officials should be cracking down on it BUT wont.

I was a referee for five years, ands the amount of cheating that l saw made me give up the game, football used to be fun and grit from players, and authorities wont do anything about it.

The diving and cheating is now getting out of control, If you think a player goes into the box and then falls over, the ref is in a difficult position - what should he do - nothing, if he cannot see the tackle or neither can his lino, then it should not be given.

Depends on Chelsea progression in the Europa League. The fixture could have been played this week had Chelsea not been in the Europa league. The replay could go ahead next week if Chelsea get knocked out on Thursday. Steaua Bucharest are 1 up agg.

sack them all..put them in a sack...draw lots for them to manage a club

Or be like the Amierica Football.

-Players are signed to the EPL
-Owners of teams in the EPL need to pick their players.
-But you may see players like Rooney going to an team like Reading.

Yes its a bugbear of mine in that we get our young players to play too many games when they have not developed enough physically as a player when they are younger.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

thats what happens when you do the same thing over and over again with ultimately the same results, insanity. every man and his dog knew all we needed was a player or two extra in 08 but such is the mans deluded state and lack of senior figures around him to tell him to sign those players he was instead allowed to run into a circle of frustration, only now its set well within the club and no one seems to know how to get out of the mess. fools! burn out the classy players instead until they get fed up and leave.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

+1

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

The problem with the away goal rule is two fold. First of all it is wrong that the away team gets an extra half an hour to score but it's also slightly absurd that the prospect of a 0 - 0 result followed by a 1 - 1 result is enough to send a team though. It creates bizarre tactics and notions for the following leg, especially when you consider that playing the second leg at home is meant to be an advantage.

I always want to play the second leg away because then you know where you stand and away goals advantage you. If Arsenal scored one more the other day then we'ld have at least forced extra time and another goal still would have killed the tie despite only being 1 goal up.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

You have summed it up perfectly but one cannot see this rule changing anytime soon.
