Thanks for your sarcastic response but perhaps if you read my post I said “OUTSIDE” of the arc !
The trend nowadays is to place the ball right on the very edge but sometimes it is completely over the line and is still largely
ignored !
I am aware of the ruling regarding the ‘whole of the ball’ etc.. but that was not the point I was making !
Another pet hate of mine is at corners when the ball is often placed outside of the arc and ignored by the linesman !
There is no significant gain by doing this but it sends a sign that rules can be broken or bent at will which is not healthy IMHO !
Diving is often difficult for refs to see but blatant shirt pulling is often overlooked and that is inexcusable !!
Classic ‘meltdownery’ - all the usual ‘we’re going down’, ‘not fit to wear the shirt’ type of nonsense !
TBF, it’s mostly followed by ‘I’m glad to have been proved wrong’ !
Footy websites, eh
For 4 years Tadic was our most creative player and yet he was regularly chastised on this website !
The ‘never satisfied’ mob were all out to slag him off for the slightest of reasons so it’s a bit rich to now claim that we sold him cheaply !
Personally I think it’s a major factor why we are in the relegation zone !!
Predictably Man U get all the decisions and we are left feeling deflated !
Really impressed by the intensity and application (coupled with two great goals) so no way to be critical !!
Still optimistic that we will stay up !
COYS
I have filled in countless SFC questionnaires saying exactly this but they take no notice !
I wasn't there last night (am on holiday) but what you stated has been the case for a while now and really p!sses me off !
Grrr....
Still makes me laugh when the Scousers chant “there’s only one greedy barsteward” at Raheem Sterling !
Seems they don’t understand the meaning of irony up there !
I often remember sitting at the Dell remarking to my mates that he was nowhere near the 'one trick pony' that he was made out to be and that his range of passing at times was surprisingly good !
His reputation tended to precede him but he did play his part in teams of his generation !
Absolutely do not agree that he was one of our worst ever players !!
