    [Albion] Rule changes - What would you make?

    There is nothing in the laws about "last man". What constitutes a goal scoring opportunity is actually quite closely defined and there is no reason why it couldn't be used to define what is or isn't a penalty under this idea.

    [Albion] One for those who know the rules of football

    I was going to add unless the player can run with the ball himself or similar. I was thinking about a situation where the only reasonable attacking option is the pass. I tend to agree that the ref has made a mistake but I didn't see the incident myself so it is possible that he didn't - he felt...

    [Albion] One for those who know the rules of football

    The reason it makes a difference is that the non-offending team has to have an advantage - if there is no way that an advantage can accrue then advantage should not be played. If there is more than one option and the player takes the wrong one then it could be argued that the player has got the...

    [Albion] One for those who know the rules of football

    This is what the Laws of the Game have to say about advantage Advantage [The Refereee] allows play to continue when an offence occurs and the non-offending team will benefit from the advantage and penalises the offence if the if the anticipated advantage does not ensue at that time or within a...

    [Food] Why's everyone started saying "mac AND cheese" ?

    [Albion] Sylvan Ebanks - Blake

    I think you might be in luck - he seems to have a bag of some sort hidden under his shirt.

    [Travel] Holidays in Morocco

    100% agree - a really great place to visit and not really outside Marrakesh - they are between the old town and the newer areas. About a mile's walk from Jemaa el-Fna - the main square. I wandered around the Medina quite happily for two days with my wife and 12 year old daughter - no guide at...

    [Football] Phil Neville

    Phil Neville actually has the best record of any manager to have managed an England team. From Wikipedia: Neville and Scholes briefly took charge of Salford City in a 2–1 home win over Kendal Town, following the sacking of Phil Power. 100% record - no wonder they wanted him so badly...

    [Misc] World's Hardest Creature XI - Quarter Final 2 - Tasmanian Devil v Polar Bear

    Of course it didn't! To show that picture and in the same post complain that the Tasmanian Devil feeds on carrion is a majestic own goal.

    [Misc] Guardian Tabloid

    Hate the yellow highlights. Very happy that the crosswords are slightly bigger and that the cryptic is not on the fold. Not happy that sport is no longer a seperate section on Saturday. Anyone who says that the Guardian is the left-wing equivalent of the Daily Mail clearly doesn't read both...

    Trump

    Quite a few of those would be considered bad things by many people - Jerusalem embassy, Paris agreement, conservative judges, Clinton defeat - and I don't really see how Trump's recently enacted tax plans (not universally considered a good thing) can be cited as a reason for the three previous...

    So was 9/11 an inside job or not? (merged)

    So you are suggesting that I am mentally ill because I said "us" instead of "me". Thanks, doctor!:lolol:

    So was 9/11 an inside job or not? (merged)

    Are you really suggesting that I am mentally ill because I asked someone - not you so not quite sure why your jumping in - for a rundown of the main points of the "hours" of videos that they have watched? All because I said "us" for reasons already outlined rather than "me"?

    So was 9/11 an inside job or not? (merged)

    Maybe I should have written "those of us who haven't had a chance to watch hours of footage" rather than "us" but I thought the implication clear.
