We do seem to like partnering with these legitimate dodgy activities with Wonga being effectively a legal loan shark firm.

Legitimised ticket touting.

Only for 1 game a season if we're playing well.

If anything, and it'll never happen, they should allow STs too sell their tickets cheaper.

on a similar note to the question about the 6-second rule. Do keepers not have to take their goal kick from the side it went out (like with corners)? I was always taught to take it from the side it wen't out on when i played in goal when i was a lot younger, pretty sure i got made to take a few again, if taken from the wrong side.

No I don't think it matters any more. Obviously if the keeper keeps taking the piss he'll end up getting booked though.

nope, just has to be on the line

Keepr can take a goal kick from anywhere in his 6 yard box. That's the whole point of the box.

Can a goalkeeper be booked for diving (simulation)? I'd imagine they could but wonder if its ever happened.

You used to have to take it on the one side, but that changed a long time ago.

if England got to the WC final next summer ( ), would ITV still give us these bellends?

Tyldsley is so bad like. I've never heard such a pretentious bellend in my life.

If the laws state that a red card has to be given for a deliberate handball and a handball has to be deliberate to be given, why isn't a red card given for every handball?

Yellow.

My dad has just said he heard channel 4 or 5 had won the rights to show the French and German league next season... Has anyone heard anything along these lines as he's getting on a bit...

Anyone know how much money Dortmund stand to earn if they get to the CL final?

A large part of the distributed revenue from the UEFA Champions League is linked to the "market pool", the distribution of which is determined by the value of the television market in each country. For the 2010–11 season, Manchester United, who lost the final, earned nearly €53.2 million in total of which €27.3 million was prize money, compared with the €51.0 million earned by Barcelona, who won the tournament and was awarded with €30.7 million of prize money.

If you get fouled in the box and it's an obvious penalty, but a team mate instantly cracks it into the net, would the ref play the advantage or always give the pen? Can't think of any examples where I've seen an advantage given instead of the pen so just wondering if it's a done thing?

It's happened a few times over the years... All depends how quick the ref blows the whistle... As he can't give goal if he has blew for penalty...

Who was the commentator for our 3-2 vs Barcelona in the CL? Forget his name. Sounds an old chap, but that Tino hat trick and his commentating for it is class.

 

Brian Moore (RIP), absolutely brilliant commentator.

 

Loved him.

We got the advantage a few years back at Fulham. Smith was hacked down in the area, and the ball fell to Milner, who scruffed a half decent chance. The ref then gave the pen, and Barton put it away.

forgot about that game

Thanks for answering my daft question. Now let's all go back to abusing Pardew

Only incident I can remember is the 2006 CL final. Not a penalty but Lehmann brings down Eto'o outside of the box, Giuly rolls the ball into the net but the ref brings it back for a free kick and sends Lehmann off.

we all believe we're capable of doing better than the current staff.  so, who from N-O would you have to replace 1) Pardew  2) Carver 3) Stone? 

To replace Pardew (Mole) and to replace Llambias (Dave). Coaches are to be selected my Mole.
