Is there not a £300 fine for not fielding?

Ah the aul hindsight and replays, multiple angles and so on, people hate VAR in the PL but call for it here!
Gavin needs to throw stuff out there otherwise he'll be not getting a wee earner
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on April 19, 2024, 11:41:47 AMKlopp was a huge success and took a very under achieving Liverpool to a title and many cups.
His style and way he handled the press was refreshing and the PL will missing a huge character and be worse for it.
God help whoever comes in and replaces him, they'll be on to a hiding to nothing if history is to repeat itself and thats not using Fergie's example, bar Bayern its replicated in most big clubs when a huge personality leaves, though the likes of Madrid get rid fairly quick of managers that don't bring immediate success.

So at the the boiler there are two pumps one for the rads and the other for heating the water.
If the spindle isn't spinning then the motor isn't working and that was the case, I said can ya fix it? nope, its a throw away world, ya need a new one
The plumber said that the water should still warm up though, it isn't, anyways I've been doing the Wim Hof experience for the last 3 days!
Did the pump look like this?
I've three of these feckers in the house and one will need replaced.
There's isolating valves either side of it, so toying with the idea of doing it myself, but as they're in the hotpress and don't want to make a balls of it.
That's the one, I've two, but that they are in the garage...
Unscrewing that copper nut in the middle let me know that it wasn't spinning inside, after that I was stumped
I've a mate that loves all that DIY stuff, the easy stuff I've no problems with, But I know if I try and remove that and replace it there will be problems, pipes will need replaced and threads will be fecked and whatever else would go wrong will, with me.

If I have to stop play.
Though if a physio comes on and can administer a spray while play continues I'm happy with that, should I have to blow the whistle and the player requires assistance they have to go off, now seeing as it was my first real go at it, I waved the player on rather than waiting for a break, he was genuinely hurt from a tackle from the other team, its a bit unfair surely to disadvantage them twice?
But is that not wrong, going by them new rules?
Completely
Bitta common sense needs to be applied and while I'm not against following it to the letter, sometimes it's actually counterproductive and not serving the reason why it's introduced
The reason for the new rules is to prevent cynical playacting, faking injuries to slow the game down like nicky quaid getting something in his eye last year.
If its genuine then it's harsh but if they're acting the bollox then I'd make them wait for the next break in play.
This rule was apparently amended during the week, to include the goalkeeper! Doesn't make much sense.
I said that a few weeks ago that to circumvent all this is for the keeper to go down. The rule didn't mention keepers.
I'd make it another player must stand i goals and team down to 14 players until next break in play.

And then when it was needed they had lads like Nacho and especially Rudiger jumping in.
City tried to pull them around but it's not like Palace and their low block, these boys were not for turning. Also in the extra time Real did fire a few warning shots to keep City honest.
Truth be told I don't like Pep as he just seems like a flase hoor.
To defend against that quality of player under that much pressure for so long and to not make any mistakes is hugely impressive. Carvahal and Rudiger are boys you would want in the trenches - they'd do well in GAA them boys. City were better but like someone said they didn't really create the chances.
The thing as well is City can completely change the type of threat they have -e.g. Doku on for Grealish going from someone who cuts inside to sheer pace - yet they still dealt with it.
Haaland was non existent too. Absolutely non existent.
Didn't watch it, listened to some on way back from game, but how many balls were played into Haaland, is he, this year getting the same support? Still joint top in the league, I know some clubs would love a 20 plus striker lol

And Eoin Cody, and Conor Whelan and half the Cork team and Cathal Barrett and I could go on...
If the defender isn't tackling lawfully which is the first issue being ignored by all and sundry then of course players are going to engineer fouls out if it.
Fix the first problem and then other problems like overcarrying, head high tackling, dipping in the tackle go away.
Did a game last night, pitch conditions meant that lads would be losing their balance and slipping or sliding in and out of tackles, granted high summer (whenever that is) pitches firm up and that gives me less hassle.
Lads were looking frees for sliding in to collect the ball saying they were pushed, they initiated the slide first, play on, due to the heavy conditions players were being 'held' up more, again, no obvious free like arms being pulled shirts being pulled and so on, if he doesn't release the ball he'll over carry it.
In these incidents the cry is there all over him! There could be 15 players all over him, if there is no actual free being committed then play on.
As you say Johnny, get the first free, it depends on your interpretation of that first free lol
As frustrating as it is, sometimes there is not that obvious free so playing on is the best option
Not all tackles are frees, clear as mud
Did my first game with the new rule that if a physio comes on to the pitch and player removes his helmet he has to leave the pitch and can only come on in a break of play.. They had no idea!!

Quote from: imtommygunn on April 17, 2024, 10:07:47 PMAll at it. 16 corners to nil shows the dominance here. Still might not win but Madrid creating nothing so would likely take penalties.
