Indeed. Not a serial RIPer, but this makes me genuinely sad.

Yeah. you have to buy it as sports equipment. Then you actually get a very generous allowance. I always tried to fly Easyjet where possible, with a bike.

No, just my comment.

Both the crease and obstruction rules were a great success.

The crease with the "3 second rule", and no contact was perfect. It really cleaned up the game, with no double goalie, no fucking with the goalie, and less clusterfucks in front of the goal. It produced more offensive situations, and more attractive pass based offense, as teams had to defender higher, and in a more active way.

Obstruction still needs a little work. The refs knew what it was trying to achieve, but it still seems there are some grey areas for the players to understand, so it may need rewording. But again it produced a more attractive game. Defenders were trying to make plays on the ball, not block attackers, Attackers were looking for the pass, not blocking out defenders.

Between the two rules, it also removed a lot of the shitty situations which can escalate, and turn games nasty. A lot less calls needed to be made in general (and not because of the quality of the refs, we had most of the top NA refs there)

(moved to rules thread)

thanks Danielle, was just coming to post that ;)

It's just a test for now, it's not approved as yet, but the players at the PHBP liked it.

I watched an interview with him the other day, where he said at his prime (when he feels he should have been captain), he was the best defender in the world.

Shame for everyone who didn't make it in, I was looking forward to seeing you all, but glad some UK players made it. I've ended up on a random German team.

Well, you are a bunch of plastics.

Urgh. Great penalties at least. But we should have won that game in the first half.

Still looking for a team... My flight is booked, so I will be there.

I'm going to stick to Bre Bre.

Games. We've won games.

Of course, while I have no desire to see City or Chelsea do well in the CL, we do need to be careful our co-efficient doesn't go down. So I have mixed feelings on this game.

We had a great co-efficient in the 2010-11 season (3 teams in the QF, and a finalist), which will go out of the rankings next year. Germany could well overtake after this season, and while Italy and Portugal are some way back, it would be a step in the wrong direction.

Lol!

I don't think you can argue the card for Matic though. Which in the end probably cost you more than a card for Barnes. Hypothetical of course.

Will be interested to see how the whole Paris situation is covered.

I think we will make top 4.

Given the terrible start to the season, it's amazing we've caught up. Southampton and Man U are on a downward trend, spurs are too inconsistent. I think right now, it has to be us and Arsenal as favourites to make it in. Tough games coming up though.

Lol. What a start. Should have been at least one pen for Southampton, possibly both. Insane goal for Coutinho

LOL @Ramsaye

I know why I do it. Cos it winds people up, and it's fucking stupid.

Not an epic game, should have scored a few more, but good on Mar Mar for finishing the pen.

Good result for Everton there.

Come on Jor Jor, captain this Liverpool team to victory!

Because like those Liverpool and Arsenal fans, you are using this situation to try and score points.

It's not a competition about who has the worse fans. Everyone one has their idiots. Let's not forget those SOS cunts with their munich songs. But I'll admit it, and not try and deflect it by trying to make others clubs fans look worse.

Some people, who appear to be Chelsea fans, are racists. Not all. Not zero. That's all we can take from this incident.
