Admin phantom Posted October 13, 2015 Admin Share Posted October 13, 2015 By all accounts trains were very busy and amongst many singing along it was a group of football fans that were asked to leave the train for "inappropriate songs being sung" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42nite Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Don't know abov rugby songs, but some of the 'songs' some of our drunken moronic element sing/slur, especially away, are disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Song(s)??you mean they know more than "Swing low sweet chariot "???funny, yeah I was thinking the same.... Be good to go on that train journey just to hear these 'other' songs!And to the OP...yes of course i could see it and have experienced it in football. Just because a few morons taint football year in year out and the media lap it up don't think football fans, real ones, are much different to any other ardent sports fans.

WhistleHappy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Water you trying to achieve here?...dunno how low I can take it, but I've had an annoying sinking feeling for a while now.....if I was gonna smuggle a kitchen sink onto a train I'd have reached a new low point for me so I reckon I'd try hiding it under my seat, dont think I could get much lower tbh.. could prove to be a wasted effort though, I could easily get caught, suffer hot & cold sweats etc, they could pull the plug on me and my reputation goes down the drain just like that.Thats why I wouldnt take the kitchen sink with me and why I always do my washing-up before I leave home... with that I wash my hands of the whole thing, and take wet wipes on my travels, much less chance of getting caught with them, they're so much easier to conceal and smuggle onto all kinds of public transport.

22A Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Something else you wouldn't see in football occurred in the rugby world cup.If a player is booked he has to off for ten minutes. One of the Rumanians, having been off for the ten minutes, immediately went up to the Ref and shook his hand before rejoining the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Always been a bit of a closet fan of the sin bin TBH.

WTFiGO!?! Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Is there a rule in rugby that if a player goes off for treatment then the opposition player who was involved in the incidence does likewise until they are back on the pitch? Because I'd introduce that to football unless it's the 'keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah the player is just treated on the pitch and play carries on around them and stopped if it looks like the play will go near the injured player. However this would also stop divers staying down.

Red-Robbo Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 You'd punish players who make a perfectly good challenge because the player they tackled is a bit fragile? Indeed. It would be a great way to "take out" star players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 You'd punish players who make a perfectly good challenge because the player they tackled is a bit fragile? Well the rule may need a bit of tweaking but especially if a foul leads to 11 v 10 I'd have the offending player off until number's were equal again. Why should the victimised team be punished for being fouled?Another thing I'll do when I'm FIFA president is introduce instant yellow cards for when players delay returning the ball eg/ for a throw in, to allow their team time to get back into shape. The other week Ross Barkley got booked for trying to take a ball, that was rightfully his, off the opponent who was deliberately preventing him from taking a throw in. It takes the piss.

CotswoldRed Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 FIFA has no appetite to make football respectful or for footballers to exhibit professional behaviour - because it doesn't suit the continental appetite for cheating.And everyone is scared to use the word cheating. How many times is the word used on Match of the Day when reviewing diving etc? They'd probably call a spade a spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so I'm 1-0 up against Barcelona with 5 minutes left. Barca are pushing up and I break away and counter. Messi makes a professional foul and brings me down. I feign injury and go off, forcing Barcas best player to come off with me. It would be abused sadly to manipulate teams. If a team is proving hard to break down, two quick injuries mean 11v11 becomes 9v9 where you are more likely to score. Although I agree kind of with the sentiment, you ca't apply it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
