supercidered

I absolutely agree with you. I've not seen it enforced at any level so I can only assume that the Refs are briefed by the FA and or Ref's Association. Pre-season every year we get a briefing from the FA about changes to existing laws and also what Refs are being assessed on during matches. I can't remember the 6 second rule ever being mentioned.

The 6 second rule is a bit wooly in that it is more of a guide than a strict 6 seconds. In essence, it is up to the Referee to take a view on whether or not the Keeper is routinely taking the p!ss (technical term). I'm only speaking as a Manager at a decent level for many years and that is what I've been told by Refs when I've asked the question. They have added that they would normally warn a Keeper that if they do it again then they will apply the necessary punishment. Hope that helps answer the above but probably not.

Unfortunately, I believe that there is no right to appeal a Booking for any reason.

They sound like characters from Blackadder The Third.

Now now. We don't need more OTIB civil wars breaking out. My view is that the majority of us around during the times when violence was at its worst through to the Nottingham Wine Bar times to the Swansea at home game fairly recently. These things happened and people who were there and saw it look back at it and reminisce about it. Mostly, remembered with some humorous stories that happened because if the incidents rather than 'ooo look how hard I am' etc, etc. Like or not it was a part of football history (and continues to be to a lesser extent) as a whole and like other bad stuff from history it should be learnt from and not deleted. One thing I can't stand are people being all high and mighty and condescending about things in general, not just football.

I certainly have no flag to fly for Liverpool, if anything, I don't like their fans for many reasons. However, I think this is a master stroke by Klopp. Top of the League and in the EFL Final. It could give that extra impetus for the 2nd half of the season. The players and the fans will be even more up for it. I also think the timing helps if they don't go on and win the League because it won't look like he's walked away because they didn't win it. All in all, he's been brilliant for English football and good luck to the bloke in the future.

To be fair whilst this is a surprise, it seems a good deal for all. He got on my nerves sometimes with his whining at refs in particular but all in all a good bloke. Good luck to him and will always be welcome at AG.

Probably not and stop calling me Shirley.

I'm not comparing our Club's choices of Manager / Coach with PNE past or present. I also don't care about who managed them before. Or comparing how well they are run compared to our basket case of our Board. Or their better finishes than us. None of the correct but irrelevant points raised above is to do with Ryan Lowe. My point was and is that Ryan Lowe was banded about on here as the next coming. I pointed out at the time that as I live in Devon and saw at first hand his work and I know many Plymouth fans saw through him despite the success they had with him. In a nutshell he basically, gets found out rather quickly. In my view, there were too many on here that didn't scratch below the surface and thought, he's doing well down there let's get him here. So that is why I'm glad it never materialised.

I seem to remember an absolute w@nkfest on here not too long ago to appoint Ryan Lowe here at City. Not sure if he was ever in the running or considered by our illustrious hierarchy. In any case, I'm so glad it never materialised.

Very sad news. He was a proper shagger in his day mind.

If there is one thing I can't abide, it's people that sit on the fence.

Balloon Festival

Take yourself off to a corner and have a word with yourself Joe.

Sounds like a complete c@nt to be honest.

Just to confirm. Billy Sharp can't play against City on Friday. He isn't even eligible to play for Hull on New Years Day. Something about needing to be registered the day before to be eligible for the following day. Either way, I'm glad he isn't playing against us.

Fokkers (one for the kids).

Looks like a pair of Golf Clubs.

We call him Wotsits Legs.

Just guessing here but I'm assuming RR means he won't manage higher than L1 in his career again.

Blige. Someone is tired !

Sounds like excuses that the web toed brigade would make for yet another sh!te home attendance.

I agree but the bar was set pretty low to be honest!
