How stupid can you get as this beggars belief.

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

Yes ,york council will have to move the goal posts so as not to cause afence :D

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

You have a singular wit. :)

I'd say them goal posts were/are coming down anyway to make way for the new fittings.

Do not forget that they will have to re-line the edge of the pitch or it will be a funny shape as well:confused:

But good joke and you beat me to it:D

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

Why thank you sir :)

gives a whole new meaning to "a game of 2 halves" though :D

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

I just feel for the one's playing on the other side of the fence:confused: It would be no good for corners to the near post:erm:

I can't believe the contractors actually went ahead and did this.

Didn't any of them think 'This can't be right'?

Typical attitude; I'm paid to do what I'm told, not to think...

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

Well people usually complain if a political party starts to move the goalposts.:D:D:D

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

There should be a penalty for this kind of thing.

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

I blame de manager. It looks like he lined defence up wrongly. I hope he doesn't take offence. :)

I think someone should have consulted my alterego

What's the betting that this fence was built after May 8th, when most goal posts in parks around the country are taken down, after the season finishes and someone put them back, to make a point? ;)

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

They take goal posts down in parks up till May 8th?

when do they put them back up, and why do they take them down?

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
 

Many councils take the goal posts down to allow for the bare goal mouth area to be reseeded or re-turfed. Not necessarily on May 8th though:erm:
