Case and point: Penalty today at Old Trafford. Apparently it took the ref about 3 minutes. He then sent off Wes Brown tho it was John O'Shae who was supposed to be sent off. Had the 4th official been able to help it would have taken 3 seconds to say "It was O'Shae not Brown. Do NOT send off Wes...

Very cool 8)

Indeed. R.I.P Spock. :cry:

Then i bow to your better judgement on this one. I wouldn't want to introduce anything that results in people not bothering to post.

Oh, really? See, i wouldn't have thought that. I couldn't imagine anyone not making a post they were gonna make. I would use it to "like" posts i have nothing to add to and would never have replied to just so the person knows i think it was a good post. But then i'm not the norm. Proudly, far...

We should have a vote on that too. I think we definitely ought to introduce a "like" button option. Adds a new element to the forum and actually makes people more likely to post something imo. 8)

But guys, this is not a vote to find out if you think UGraded mailers look good or even if you think anyone should UGrade a mailer. Or on the aesthetic values of different UGrades in any way. It's to decide whether as a forum we should morally oppose and ban them. So the vote's been a bit skewed...

Seconded.

Amazing news! 8)

I think it terms of defence we are bottom 3. We don't just let opponents score. We actually give them the goals. :roll:

Much much mud much loess often. Almost always. And the stoppages would almost always take next to no time at all. There are incidents now where a penalty decision takes ages so it's really no different. Just much much better.

Yep, exactly the same in the football league i played for. We had one particularly fussy ref once who booked 7 of us. :lol: All for misdemeanours. Mine was for saying "you're having a laugh, ref!" :lol: Imagine that!?! :shock:

Yes, watched that last night. Really good film. Tho you need to see Ex-Machina as that's significantly higher in terms of best films i've seen this year.

Yep. That wasn't my point. Hawkeye is great. For tennis. The Cricket thingy is great- of cricket. I was just saying people complain that we'll use those exact same methods to deal with football decisions. We, of course, won't. We'll come up with a way that suits football best.

Exactly. If done right it would make decisions not only much faster but almost always correct. But, na thanks. :roll:

We used to have this in my saturday league. You could get away with a little swearing if not aggressive but if you swore at the ref you'd be very lucky not to be sent off. I'm amazed that players are allowed to talk to the lines-man and referee in a way that would get you fired from a job...

Yeah, and this is the problem. People assume that it'll be like cricket where the game has to stop every 10 minutes for 2 minutes while they watch a monitor. Or like tennis where every other decision goes to a big screen and everyone claps along like morons. But football, like tennis before it...

Yes, i do. One thing that becomes very clear after, i don't know, 1 day alive, is that most people are pretty stupid. I think anyone in a position of authority at the FA should have their IQ tested. Anyone who scores under 120 should be immediately removed. It would at least get rid of 80% of...

"It'll slow the game down": The chant of the inbred and the moron. Those who speak without any credible thought process taking place. Just some faint spark of a synapsis still glowing lightly from some neanderthal Daily Mail pundit they browsed the last time they read something not written in...

No, it has to be a ban on all UGrades. And altho some grey area items will harshly suffer it's for the greater good. We can't protect the 1% and allow to 99% to tag along for the ride. A carpet ban is the right thing to do. (and i don't mean banning carpets. I think they are fine tho should...
