But that's just a quirk of the rules, if you reduced a football match to 60 mins but stopped the clock every time it went out of play you would get 100% exactly as in American Football. The only thing that would change is that, as in the tedious bore-fest that is live American Football, the...

So the ball is in play for more time in football than American football... I went to the first ever NFL match in the UK and it was one of the most tedious things I have ever seen - and I was a massive fan of the C4 highlights programme. NFL is definitely a game made for TV.

You obviously didn't watch England's group matches...in fact most of the boring, defensive matches in the whole tournament - Italia 90 has the fewest goals/game of any world cup.

I don't have a van, I am not very strong but I am tempted to apply just to meet HT - my NSC mancrush...:blush:

Not really, in world cups record is as follows: 1950 - didn't get out of the group (including being beaten by USA) 1954 - 1/4 finals 1958 - 1/4 finals 1962 - didn't get out of the group 1966 - winners 1970 - 1/4 finals 1974 - didn't qualify 1978 - didn't qualify 1982 - Got to second group...

Yeah, because until there were loads of foreigners, we won everything all the time!

Many people were flat out lied to by their banks in order to force them to take out PPI. The banks are now being forced to take responsibility for these lies. Isn't that a good thing?

If you are going to be a pedant, it is important to get your facts right...FIFA no longer publish the Laws of the Game - it is now the International Football Association Board (IFAB).:thumbsup:

Mignolet from Liverpool was penalised in a Europa Cup game a couple of seasons back and the opposition scored from the free kick but it rarely happens - only when keepers really take the piss and ignore the ref telling them to hurry up.

Technically, yes.

From when he first controls it with his hands - so when he catches it.

It already is outlawed. The keeper is not allowed to control the ball with his hands for more than 6 seconds. It's not the law that is the problem, it is the appetite for strict enforcement.

Try again...

Hmmm...now who was it who mocked someone for the obvious typo of writing "donated" instead of "detonated"? "encase" :lol:

I know...but I'm sure you don't have to stay for the England game.

Went to The Urchin on Belfast St in Hove (used to be the Bell) on Sunday for the wife's birthday. Menu 100% shellfish and v big on craft beer. really well done food. Between the four of us we had salt and pepper squid, oysters, and prawn and scallop ceviche to start; mains were whole crab with...

Anyone help with the last phrase on this clip "A few nice cars, a nice watch collection and purge in a base will all shalu taboo?"

"could't":lol:

Bit harsh. Just looked him up on Cricinfo - 2 first class matches 4 and 31* so an average of 35!
