  3. Proposed Football Rule Changes

    When I first saw this on social media yesterday, I thought it was another piece of "Fake News", but perhaps it's not. The main stream media (newspapers and Sky Sports News etc) seem to be following the story. Have Fifa & Marco Van Basten completely lost the plot? or do you welcome these...

  4. Rugby World Cup

    Is it me or is the Rugby WC passing you by with indifference, despite the fact its being held in the UK. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Rugby Union at all but I just can't get excited by it. Maybe the combination of it being in the regular football season and on ITV has something to do with...

    What a horrible individual this bloke is, but all this hoo haa could easily be avoided if Referees applied the laws of the game. I know you get your Garth Crookses and other pundits saying its the refs job to keep 11 players on the pitch but that's not the case. Its the refs job to apply the...

    Today

    With no Shrimpers in action on a Saturday, what will everyone be doing instead between 3-5? My mate got me a ticket to the rugby league challenge cup final at Wembley, never watched a rugby league match live before so looking forward to it.

    I Think ist time for Referees to stop all the pulling and tugging going on in Games.

    I think its time for Referees stop turning a blind eye on the pulling and tugging that goes on in Football Matches know.The Laws of the game if you pull someone or tugging its a free kick.Most of this goes on in the penalty area on corners. Referees are not pulling players up for this.Rules...

    Question Dreadful sporting events

    A couple of colleagues are very excited today as they are going to the Oxford University v Cambridge University rugby union match at Twickenham this afternoon. While wishing them a fun afternoon, I struggled to think of a sporting event I'd *less* rather go to. What about fellow SZers? The...

  13. Time Wasting

    First of all , this is not a complaint about Morecambes tactics today. What teams don't waste time away from home when taking the lead ? We do it and so do everyone else , not just in our League , but the world over. Even before today it was clear to me , that this aspect of the game is probably...

  17. Sin Bins

    I, like many of you probably, have seen an article on BBC Sport stating that Michel Platini and his cronies will discuss the posibility of sin-bins in football, replacing cautions. "I would make it like rugby, punishing the offender with 10 or 15 minutes out of the game,"...Platini. So, yes or...
