Whitey Grandad

We shall be there at least. Our tickets arrived today.

Now that she’s unemployed… CSDAJFU?

No sensible businessman would go anywhere near a football club.

All this wailing and gnashing of teeth is only because of all the rumours that have been bandied about. If it weren’t for the media speculation we would have been none the wiser.

Levi Keegan?

Good grief. He’s two years older than me, and I’m a lot cheaper.

When I first saw that I thought it read ‘short-term appointment until the end of the week’

Down at my level it differed from one referee to another. One said the if it was extreme abuse and directed at him or included the word 'ref' then he would send the player off. If you book anybody for dissent by word then you have to include the wording in your report. If this wording includes extreme swearing then what may refs do is change it to something more innocous. One big problem is when players see a top level player on MOTD obviously swearing at the ref and using foul language they naturally assume that they can do the same in their local park.

There's no plaice for that sort of comment.

The reason will have been reported to the FA.

Or Sir Alex Ferguson. Allegedly

It could be worse.

That’s what the players said too

Contract length? So the club wanted it to be six months and he wanted six years?

Ralph is the reason that we’re in a sticky situation. Firstly because his poor results got us where we are and secondly because his poor results meant we suffered Nathan Jones for eight league games.

To be fair, and with the greatest respect, they could do a very good job in a lower division.

Well said. I used to referee at local level and was discussing abuse with a parent of a youngster. She said that abusing the referee was all part of the fun for her when she watched her kids play. We were regularly reminded by the FA that we should cut out all bad language and of all the complaints that they received from the public by far the most were about swearing. With the type of young lads that I used to deal with this was unrealistic - especially with my refereeing - so I used to ask them to confine it within the borders of the field of play. Lemina might think himself unlucky but he had shown obvious dissent by gesture before he started running towards the referee and we don’t know what he shouted at that time. It may be that the referees have been told to clamp down on massed visitations when approached by multiple players and that no more than two should be punished. I’m all for it provided that the clubs have been told in advance.

Christ’s is my college but we were well beaten by a better team.

I seem to remember that this forum does not support Tapatalk.

You don’t normally keep bulls in stables???

To be fair, he’s only had six and a half years to think of something.

God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform

That was poor and shows his lack of class. Whatever he may have suspected he should have shaken his players' hands at the end of the game. Even some slight gesture of apology toeard sthe fans would not have hurt him. he was too busy thinking about himself.

For the pass routine to have any chance it needs to be followed by a first time shot. By the time a touch has been taken the defence are all over it.

Hi Mack, good to hear from you. Do you fancy a job?
