The FA and their "rules"

Status
Not open for further replies.
The stupidest rule is that nothing can be done if a ref says he saw something. So what if he saw it? The FA should be able to say, 'If you saw it and did nothing, you messed up and now we'll act'.

That would be a too public admission of their failure ... can't have that.
 
And yeah its laughable hearing footballers saying 'Its the worst thing someone can do on a football pitch' what worse than shattering an eyesocket? Worse than a knee high challenge? Fuck me I think diving is worse than spitting.
 
Yeah, I agree. Spitting is obviously awful but potentially career ending tackles and general violent conduct is much worse.
Keane on Haaland, Ben Thatcher on Pedro Mendes etc.

They are allowed to break that rule in exceptional circumstances. Such as if the capital's press write about it the next day causing people to get angry.
 
So in other words .... even you had to look it up as you weren't sure but you flayed alive someone who commented on it without having first done the same. I see.

Flayed alive seems a bit dramatic.

And yes, I looked up something rather than jumping to a stupid conclusion based on my laughable bias
 
I've said it before, I find footballers' attitude to spitting quite odd. They go around spitting all over the pitch, which is a bit gross in itself by ordinary standards, but when they spit at each other all hell breaks out - more so than if there's a career-threatening tackle. For me, if you were going to rate how bad offenses were, spitting would come below actual violent conduct, but Dion Dublin just declared spitting is 'the lowest of the low' and loads agree with him.


Re Spitting. My Missus caught me missing the toilet the other day when I spat into it and we started laughing. Then I realised I always spit when I pee and have never really thought about it. Then I remembered being at urinals and that most other men spit when they pee but noone talks about it. So I did a bit of googling and the most likely thing I found reckons men spit when they pee so that they can work out the right angle to pee at and not get it all over your leg (but it's subconscious). Apparently most men do but when I have asked my mates about this no one admits to it. I know I'm not alone as loads of men spit when I'm out in public toilets so I think people just can't talk about it. Anyway, I'm coming out - I spit when I pee and I have no idea why!

More people should use phrases like flayed alive. It's brilliant.

Less people should spit when they piss. Not so brilliant.
 
Singlerider deserved a LOT more love for his gag earlier.

Monty Python you fucking wabs.
He earned about 20 likes from that.

RE: spitting in general, I also spit nearly every time I go for a piss, but that's because I smoke rollies with no filters and my mouth/throat seem to be constantly harbouring brown tarry unpleasantness that needs getting rid of.

Unlike most of the kids I teach, I'm not a fan of just hocking it up and gobbing it here there and everywhere.

It's kinda weird, because when I went to Beijing there was this distinct attitude towards the blokes (and women equally, actually) who spat in the street, of "Christ, look at these fucking country hicks, come from the provinces and just spitting in the street" - but it made me think "Fuck, that's pretty much all of the kinda 14-25 generation in the UK"

Is it just me, is it just where I'm at, or does everyone notice kids spitting everywhere?
 
I've noticed it particularly among groups of young blacks in London. Perhaps it's part of black culture.

No you cannot differentiate them by ethnicity, the kids all look, dress and act the same now. Aggressive incoherent thugs.

But I think it may be related to the cleaner air they have the privilege of breathing. We used to breathe in all sorts of shit coming out of car exhausts, so the body just gets used it and rolls on. Now they aren't poisoned as much on the walk to school, their bodies aren't used to it, so when they breathe in some cigarette smoke it fucks them up good and proper, they cough like 70-year-old men, mucas comes pouring out of their throats, and they have no choice but to spit.

Maybe the UK should also start a Government anti-spitting campaign (they seem to happen pretty regularly over here, though we need one for not peeing in the street, and for children not peeing anywhere - one peed on the metro and another even took a dump in the middle of a plane aisle, too, parents looking on). re. Spitting in the UK, pretty disgusting but hey .. look at their footballing role models.
