    That wouldn't work because the sub could come on and interfere with play.

    The value of the scaled down share issue is more or less equivalent to the value of the non renewed ST's.

    I counted six at one point; think i'ts a union meeting to vote on who takes it.

    Perhaps the modern teend to skin tight shirts as in rugby is an appreciation of what you say.

    Be careful, you just agreed with me.

    To be fair to Jig he's scored some excellent goals from corners, the most memorable being in Lyon; but we definitely need more invention. I think the last Rangers player even to try a back header at the near post was Ronald de Boer and we scored easily from it. (See also other thread.)

    How about fining the Manager for the various deficencies that we perceive in team selection, tactics and performance; or is that the other thread

    Corner kicks have been around almost as long as football itself and unchanged since being adopted by the Football Association coincidentally in 1872. I think there is merit in Scott7's suggestion that if the ball goes out between the penalty line and the touch line the corner is taken from where the ball goes out (allowing that within the penalty box would just result in chaos). However, teams themselves need to be much more inventive from corners. I agree that there needs to be an effective sanction against time wasting late substitutions but the referee has discretion to add as much time as he likes it is not limited to 30 seconds. Referees can make it clear that they are adding on all the time taken for the substitution. I'm not sure if an arbitrary time limit such as you suggest would be a good idea; you'd just have a rush of subs at the deadline. I might be in favour of no substitutions in extra time in cup ties; so any sub had to be made before the extra time starts.

    Presumably the difference between SC's figures and GS' figures are non-recurring items such as non-contractual bonuses (if there are any such) and capital expenditure. I don't know to what extent capital items were paid for in the first 6 months of the financial year but it should be in the interim figures.

    (First paragraph copied from other thread) That's an excellent point but let's say you changed the Laws so that a team defending a corner was limited to 8 or 9 players inside the box then (in a McCoist team) the others would inevitably be standing just outside leading to more issues for the already over-worked officials (although you are correct that might be a good use of the 4th official; but not sure they have them at all levels). You could say the others had to be a certain distance away but that would be even more difficult to police unless they had to be over the half way line so that one linesman could keep an eye on that. The last big change to the Laws, ending passbacks to the goalkeepers hands, had an enormous impact on the game. The offside law must be the most changed over the years from the beginnings when ANY player in front of the ball was offside, through 3 defenders to the modern day 2 defender rule with advantage to the attackers and a very narrow definition of "interfering" or "gaining an advantage by being in (the offiside) position". Personally I think the game would be speeded up if the decision was given at the moment the ball was played as was the case until recent years rather than waiting to see if the offside player actually plays the ball or gains an advantage, which of itself would probabaly mean a return to the "seeks to gain an advantage" version. I'm certain defenders would much prefer this and as spectator it means you don't have the uncertainty and delay of waiting for an inevitable decision when a player is obviously well offside.

    What was it last season?

    How much is a traditional pie & bovril now then or a meal deal wth those and a bag of crisps/mars bar etc?

    My comment, as I made clear, was not about the whys and wherefors of the current conflict. I strongly disagree with what the Israelis are doing now but your analogy and categorisation of them as "new nazis" is terrifyingly inaccurate. That said, I certainly will desist form any further comment.
  15. BrahimHemdani
    Thank you. I don't want to get involved in this debate and respect your right to your opinion about the current conflict which you have obvioulsy researched thoroughly, although I disagree with it. That is for the other thread. However, I do want to echo dB's comments that saying that "the Israelis have learned from the original nazis " who sent 6 million Jews to the gas chambers and killed about half that number of Russians in captivity and in excess of 200,000 Roma gypsies many of whom (as well as the Jews) were subjected to the infamous experiments of Josef Mengele at Auschwitz, is a quite nauseating remark.

    Anyone can defend with 11 men in the box; if we had quality defenders we wouldn't need the whole team back. Who says Boyd and Miller in the defensive box constitute "good defensive play"?

    I always buy a fish supper from the first van on Edmiston Drive for midweek games, freshly made before your eyes and great value for a fiver. Tell them I sent you.

    It's a terrible tactic because it means we have no outlet ball; it's scandalous asking a 34 year old Miller to defend, he should be on the half way line and someone like Templeton on the edge of the box to feed him. Then the opposition would need to keep three back. I well recall Smith sending a bemused Darcheville back to cover a post when the guy was running on one leg and never played 90 minutes (apart from the UEFA Final). Barcelona had 3 up at defending corner kicks, mind you theirs were Messi, Gudjohnsen and Henry and we had to keep more back than we could send into the box. Of course with Valdez in goal and Puyol, Thuram and Abidal at the back who needs help.

    That was the vans outside, think I was overcharged. But a badge was £2 so OK with that.
  20. BrahimHemdani
    Is that a quarter pound or a half pound, FS?
  21. BrahimHemdani
    It's extra for the posh seats and you can afford it anyway Don't they do meal deals any more?
  22. BrahimHemdani
    A cheeseburger was £4.80 at Derby.
  23. BrahimHemdani
    To dB & TRPB. With respect there's a thread for those comments is there not.
  24. BrahimHemdani
    Not sure if it's a 100 years but it doesn't make me any more comfortable about it.

    That's me, hope the stadium wifi is working and your code is correct!
