Whitey Grandad

Mine were loaded electronically onto the season tickets. I don't know how it works for members.

Never believe a rumour until it's denied.

That's how I remember it. 28th December 1999 apparently. Starting lineup: Goalkeeper Paul Jones Defender/Right backJason Dodd Defender Francis Benali Defender/Centre back Claus Lundekvam Defender/Centre back Dean Richards Midfielder Trond Egil Soltvedt Midfielder Jo Tessem Midfielder/Forward Luis Boa Morte Midfielder/Forward Matt Le Tissier Forward Kevin Davies Forward Mark Hughes http://www.11v11.com/matches/watford-v-southampton-28-december-1999-338/

Yes indeed. You can either change the management or change the squad. Changing the management is cheaper.

I can't believe that you're blaming Forster. In other news, I see that Petr Cech has let in the last 13 penalties that were taken against him.

Great goal at Watford. Shame we lost.

Is that deffo?

Or ....and 'm just playing devil's advocate here... he's ****ed off because the abject system that we play doesn't give him any opportunities for goalscoring?

Either on the pitch or off it?

Not so, this was clarified in The Laws some time ago. The only difference between these two cases is that deliberately stepping off the pitch would result in a yellow card.

Has great potential for improvement.

Might I just ask... do you like the type of football that we have played this season?

As I read it, the reference was to an attacker going beyond the goal line. Any indirect free kick would then be taken from the nearest point on the edge of the goal area.

Yes, I'm afraid so. "A defending player who leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission shall be considered to be on the goal line or touchline for the purposes of offside until the next stoppage in play or until the defending team has played the ball towards the halfway line and it is outside their penalty area. If the player left the field of play deliberately, the player must be cautioned when the ball is next out of play.

I remember hippies. They were beatniks who had grown up and had childen and shaved off their beards. John Cage plays 4-3-3 too and it's marginally more exciting than what we play at the moment. I though these were "hipsters"?

Ah, I get it now. Perhaps we should close our eyes during the game in order to appreciate it better.

Now I know that you're not serious.

No, that's not true. Even when we win 1-0 it has been unbelievably boring.

Would that be just before or just after the transfer window closes?

You're on very dangerouis ground there. Are you saying that it's the fans fault for finding this walking football undelievably dull?

Both he and Cedric did ok during the Euro 2016 finals. 7 games in 26 days and every one an away fixture. (Yes, I know they didn't play every game)

Ok, see you next year then

On the one hand we are told that players need to play games in order to get match-fit. Then we are told that they aren't up to playing lots of games. When there are a lot of games io a row then it's even more essential that you keep a settled side, especially the defence.

Useless board. Can't even spell the club name properly

The assistant might not have seen that the ball had rebounded off a United player, and this is where the referee and him should have acted as a team. It must have been clear to Dean that Ibrahimovic was well offside and a quick conference would have soon sorted it out. Regarding the red card, yes, both feet were off the ground but he pulled out at the last minute and tucked his lower legs backwards. His fault was to get there just before Jones who had his leg extended with his studs showing. You could argue that it should have been a yellow card for Jones.
