Re: WTF is collapse prone concrete

Pate’s was demolished and rebuilt in the mid-90s after the 60s/70s concrete started crumbling. Short-term thinking, wanting something for nothing, and spivs have been plaguing Britain for decades. I doubt it will be long until we hear that around the country Councils/Government thought they were bu...

Re: Worthy of an Oscar?

Haha ha, yes. One Ex Robin who was an appalling actor was JJ Melligan. He didn't feign injury but he'd take a dive in the box aways about 2 seconds too late. The best from memory, going back many years was Joe Gadston who won so many penalties by making contact with the defenders shin. Worked every...

Still believe a 'free kick' should be allowed to be taken immediately....if the opposing player has not retreated the minimum distance [?] then it should be moved 10m in the direction of play. If multiple offences from one free kick and ends up in the box then a penalty! How many time do we see a g...

I'm not sure how many runs those players then went on to make after they should have been dismissed but it wa...
