I think there should be a time limit on making a VAR decision. If it takes 3 or 4 minutes and needs to be slowed down in super slow-mo using multiple cameras then it is not in the spirit of the game.
The essence of 'umpire's call' used in cricket should be used, even if the resulting...
We've got one point from the last three matches, but I think we have played better (bar 20 minutes at Fulham) than we did against West Ham, Newcastle and Wolves, where we picked up 9 points. A lot of football is about luck; we haven't had much in the last three, whereas we did in the other...
We also were 0-4 down after 34 minutes, at home, against Wigan in 2005. Wigan had a great team then.

This game is stuck in my memory. 0-1 up at half time, then the flood-gates opened on the 58th minute. 5 goals in 17 minutes....

The chant is - "he's one of our own". It is not - "he is the one and only", which would be sung to the music of Chesney Hawkes.

Probably not the best age to use at it clearly states in Instagram's T&Cs that Instagram requires everyone to be at least 13 before they can create an account, but I'm sure you know that already
I’d forgotten about that clause. I was going to write to the club about it because it is poorly worded and pretty much contractually unenforceable. It is in within my powers to give up my job and spend 24/7 protecting and enhancing the club’s name, but I’m not going to do that.
When my...
Just as well I kept my Withdean waterproofs, I'll be ready for the onslaught!! In all seriousness I appreciate it's more of a pain dealing with this with children. Sadly the club is generally over zealous in these sort of matters, not to mention the general patronising tone of the emails.
I think a lot of this can be resolved by having a number of water filling stations on each concourse where you can fill and empty water bottles.
I don't have children but that doesn't stop me having an opinion.
Is it really such an issue? I don't accept they will be more spillages; look at the vast volumes of pints drunk from plastic cups with wide brims, if people can manage with that I can't see it that difficult to hold a water bottle upright. Issues with dehydration? Seriously?! It's a football...
I agree, any sort of encroachment is an offence. However, should a penalty be retaken if a penalty is missed and the attacking team encroaches? Conversely, should a penalty be retaken if a penalty is scored and the defending team encroaches? What happens if both sides encroach (as with most...
