Aidy Boothroyd being lined up to be England's U21 manager. Although it could be worse, according to the Times, Cotterill was on the shortlist. FFS

That's so bad it's almost good It's the sort of thing I used to do in PE after I got kicked out of cross country club (long story) Also Ross McCormack is a bellend (that's confirmed by me), apparently the Fulham players don't want him back because he's been so disruptive (not confirmed) |

Part-time Liverpool fans or part-time fans of clubs who dislike Liverpool who attend games not involving them and loudly obsessing over their latest score.
I go to a lot of football matches and it doesn't matter if I'm at Swindon, the Bristol clubs, Bath City, Fulham, Gateshead, whatever. I'm also always sat/stood next to a couple of people obessessing over Liverpool's latest score.
Yesterday was no exception. 'Haha! WOLVES HAVE SCORED!', 'What's the Liverpool score?', 'I'll take a replay'. Their requests are clearly not out of mild curiousity either as they talk in length about what Klopp should do next etc.
It's okay, we get it, you don't support Swindon and you all want us to know about it. The same applies to the adults I've seen at Town games in, for example, Man Utd polo shirts.
Ugh. It shouldn't bother as it's trivial but it does.

some people have two teams, a watch live local team and a premier league team t usually the one they liked at school.
for me at school it was Man U, but on the day of the 2-2 home draw I stopped my two timing and dumped man u for good.
I would quite like them to win over other teams, but I'm not that bothered.
but I do somehow still hate Liverpool, so recently frequently ask my 'not dumped his premier league team' fellow Swindon fan what the Liverpool score is. it's been quite fun.
I don't think it's fair to say everyone in the category doesn't support Swindon. and with Liverpool it's clear they aren't glory supporters!

You're the enemy, batch.
No issue with people who feel following a small team isn't enough (although it's not my thing) but the audible over-interest at games not involving them grates. Especially my team, the team we're watching, is shit.

sin bins for yellow cars... not being discussed for the professional game yet, but can you imagine if it was.. the way referees shower them like confetti ...
make sense in youth football I suppose, where yellows are rare.. not played in the adult leagues for about 10 years so no idea if it would suffer the same as the pro game would

It is being considered. There are some challenges that maybe warrant more than a yellow but are not a red e.g. the cynical drag back or chop down when a player is about to break free in midfield. These are often lauded as "taking one for the team", but are still very annoying when only a yellow is given. Some of the other changes are "interesting" to say the least, but most look to have been rubbished by current managers etc. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/marco-van-basten-fifa-plans-change-football-a7534186.html |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

This is just plainly bollocks, I didn't know that Bournemouth didn't own their ground, who does when they say coming years for a new ground is it similar to our aspiration to move to a new ground in the coming years? But at least they have more space than Chelsea which is just shit! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38828349 |

Watford have made it clear they don't intend to do it. They were quoted a couple of weeks ago (no, don't remember where OTTOMH, but likely one of BBC, Guardian or Times) saying that they only get demand for less than 100 disabled supporters and if they implemented the full quota it would mean turfing ST holders out of seats they'd had for years to make space for disabled seating that wouldn't then be used. Which, if they've only just built a new stand, sounds like a load of bullshit. |

So they are planning to find a site, design a stadium, seek and obtain planning permission and then build the stadium all within c.3.5 years. Ambitious..... Held to ransom? you flogged the asset boys its up to the owner what he wants to sell it back for. |

If you think Bournemouth will be in the PL in 2020/21 and need a new stadium. They have been on a slide recently since they threw away a 3-0 lead against Arsenal. They might have enough this season with 26 points in the bag but if they carry it on next year or Howe gets tempted away it could be interesting. Maybe they could use their PL windfall to repay the Russian loans and create a stable financially secure club. Sent from my HTC One M9 |
