Daft questions (football edition)

If a player needs to have a s*** at the beginning of the second half, what happens?

 

He can ask the referee for permission to temporarily leave the field, he can be substituted or he can go in his shorts (which probably leads to temporarily leaving the field for equipment change).

That might explain some of the shit performances I've seen over the years.

It was against Ireland and we got a free kick when he went down.    He was seen on tele flicking the shit from his shorts while he was sitting on the pitch.

How do the fixtures for the premiership work? I've just noticed that who ever we play, Sunderland play their rivals. Last three games we have played Sunderland have played their rivals? Has it always been like this or is it just a coincidence?

Coincidence.

Bit about the boxing day fixtures is intradesting, never knew they took into account distance, really limits the amount of teams we can play especially with so many southern teams being in the league this season.

anyone been in the family enclosure at SJP?  wondering what facilities they have there or is it just like anywhere else in the ground?  someone was telling me it's got facilities, games and all sorts of shit set up for little uns

Have we ever gone a whole season without winning an away game?

How many penalties would you score out of ten against a Premier League keeper? For every goal NUFC steal £1m from the mackems transfer budget and vice versa for every miss.

Is this Noel's house party or something?

Why does nothing ever run fucking smooth at NUFC ?

I just wondered what everyone thinks

Whenever I watch football and you seem some tall keeper standing in the middle of the sticks I have a lot of sympathy for penalty takers that miss, because the goal looks so much smaller - but then when I play football and I'm looking at the goal from ground level, and I'm running up to take a penalty - it feels fucking impossible to miss the goal is so ridiculously big.

The transfer budget bit was just to add some pressure to the occasion

2 or 3, I'm pretty gash though.

I'm game to have a go, here are my penalty credentials  :

I read a book about the history of the penalty kick, the book states that for best results aim into one of the top corners and hit it 60-70%.

I've only took 3 penalties in proper games but applied this technique and scored 2  and missed 1, although I scored the first time and the ref ordered a re-take for encroachment. I blasted the retake over the bar. 

I reckon I would score 6 or 7, some of these keepers do look pretty big though.

I used to be class at penalties, would stick in exactly the same place every time and never saved.

Now I am absolutely atrocious. I doubt I would score 1.

I might score a paneka until the keepers saw me do more than 1 and realised that was the best I can kick a ball

Don't underestimate how easy it would be for top keepers to know which side you'll go

You needed a book to tell you that? Hit the top corner and it's in.

High and straight down the middle

GOAL !!!

Aye, I suppose. Schoolboy error.

1. Are teams allowed to use rugby throw-in tactics on corners (ie. hoisting a team-mate in the air)?

2. Where would NUFC have finished in the French league last year?

1. No it's classed as ungentlemanly conduct.

2. Trois.
