    I'm not sure that I follow the logic of that...

    If I use the example of a penalty, you could have the situation where the player is sent to the sin-bin, the penalty is scored and then he is allowed back without missing any regular play. An option may be that there has to be a minimum amount of time that you have to be in the sin-bin, even if a goal is scored.

    A big night for Slav and his Fulham team who play their game in hand against Blackburn who are in real trouble at the foot of the table. A win tonight would take Fulham into the play off positions. It seems as if he has adapted well to English football.

    Why not just have the player serve the allotted time in the sin-bin? Otherwise there would have been little point in sending him there...

    10 minutes in an open to the elements area on a cold wet February night might cool a few tempers.

    Maybe they were right to change manager!

    He's been released pending further enquiries, he claims he did not order her murder, sounds like someone has tried to shift the nblame onto him. My money is on his brother!

    Boro have sacked their manager now.

    Need a manager who can get them to score goals but not at our expense!

    True - I must admit I thought the 70 minute games, Time outs, Rolling subs and recording ref conversations were all a bit odd - and wasn't even sure what the 'Referees working in consistent teams' meant, let alone why it should be a rule.

    One thing I like in Gaelic games is enforced substitutions - it's used (or was) in pre-season friendlies, so why not in competitive matches? I'm not sure if it counts as using of one of your substitutes in Gaelic games.

    Typically German - score on your last appearance to defeat England..

    Funny thing is Podolski has probably done more at International level than in his club career...

    Must say I thought England showed promise and were the better team over all. OK wonder goals happen :emoticon-0120-doh:

    As for Scotland best they do not qualify. Saves the :emoticon-0132-envy:

    But might watch Wales friday away to the republic. Could be a good game. Then Sunday my second team Cadiz play Tenerife. I'll be there on the sun drenched terraces. And with 2nd playing 5th and us 3rd playing fourth there is still a chance of an automatic promotion spot <cheers> Always the optimist <laugh>

    I'm not sure how many of you are aware of the talk of introducing the so-called "Rooney rule" that exists in American Football. It tries to get more non-white coaches into the professional level of the game, with one applicant for each job has to be of an ethnic minority.
    There is one aspect of football that has been overlooked in this - when was the last time, if ever, someone from an ethnic minority has been one of the officials at a WFC match?
