Has anybody bothered to actually look up the actual rule? Rather than just guessing based on what other people say and what the pundits (who also haven’t read the rules) say?

Yes. (I was also a bit drunk, and probably overly harsh). But come on, the post was f***ing ridiculous. Arsenal just completely battered us playing the type of football that the OP said ‘doesn’t get you points’. My last (overly harsh) line was trying to make the point that in life you don’t...

According to whom? You?

Let’s hear your understanding of the rule. You don’t actually have one, do you? You’re just basing it on what you have heard and what you assume.

We did. They didn’t. God this Board is embarrassing today. So many bedwetting divs. I’m going to bed.

Hold on, I thought we played route one? My God, I always think I am fully aware at how utterly stupid so many football fans are, but then regularly someone else comes along and shows me that no, I am not aware at all. It’s much worse than I thought. But come on, let’s hear it. The 2 years...

Always thought he was a cock. Turns out I was right. I just don’t see how you can look your friends and family in the eye after doing that. If I saw my son do that on the football pitch I would be completely mortified and absolutely bollock him.

I don’t think it’s ever changed has it? That has always been a penalty. If ‘football has gone forever’ then I guess you’ll never be watching it again? Grow up FFS. It’s a clear penalty and we got battered 3-0 anyway.

Out of interest, how many clubs in world football do you think wouldn’t have sold two players who were desperate to leave for a combined fee of up to £170 million. I’d be really interested to hear if you think it might be more than two.

Yes apparently you can kick the ball away cleanly and then take out an anti tank missile and blast the attacker to smithereens and say ‘I GOT THE BALL REF’ and fully expect him to wave play on.

Genuinely astonished that this isn’t absolutely unanimous. It’s a stonewall penalty. The ‘but he played the ball’ brigade clearly don’t know the rules. NSC would be in absolute uproar if we weren’t given a penalty for that.

Do you think there is any manager on the planet that you would rate for us?

Can’t believe anyone seriously thinks that isn’t a penalty. We’d be going absolutely mad if it wasn’t given for us. It’s stonewall. The ‘got the ball’ argument is ridiculous. If you kick the ball away cleanly and then smash the attacker in the face with a brick, it’s still a penalty.

Do not give him the option of doing anything other than watching the game. I have friends who take their kids iPads to football ‘in case they get bored’. Of course they’re going to say yes if you ask them half way through whether they’d rather play on that! Just keep him engaged the whole time...

Of course. I was just saying that if it actually did happen, it could be a good system.

All for it personally. Yes 10% of eligible people will miss out if they aren't quick enough to buy. You're talking about 300 people at most. I could live with that, it would be a great way for new fans to get to go to some of our more glamourous away games, and help get them hooked properly.

Can't see a problem with this... If all fines go directly to the clubs that have played by the rules.

I don't think enough people know about this guy. Captain Tom raised £40m walking round his f***ing garden. The Hardest Geezer's challenge is a lot more impressive.

People keep saying this, but it isn't true. They have been back, and they went all the way back to League One.

As somebody above said, we spent over £80 million last Summer. How much do you think we should have spent? £100 million? £150 million?
