He let the corner be taken without the ball being moved. Second point - stupid football laws, apparently the law is that any part of the ball can 'overhang' the white line. Why introduce ambiguity? Just make it so some part of the ball has to be touching the line - surely? BTW - I do just want to observe that Milwall have gay pride flags as corner sticks. Blimey, that's so ironic even Alanis Morisette could write a song about it. Point 2 (after a few ciders watching the rugby) - what is the point of a corner flag anyway (besides it's obvious use as a PR spokesperson)? Why do we have them? To the earlier point, they just get in the way - just get rid, keep the ball in the quadrant / piece of pie / cheese slice and be done with it.

Its always been all of the ball has to be over the line for it to be 'out'. Same applies for goals scored Edited December 6, 2020 by Ghost of Clough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, sometimes I get called Mr Brennan, which is kind of weird but not an affront to my masculinity. I'm quite happy not to own her. So what names do/will the children use?

To the earlier point, they just get in the way - just get rid, keep the ball in the quadrant / piece of pie / cheese slice and be done with it. I think it's just there to help officials adjudicate between a corner and a throw-in. If the ball is in the air it's a difficult call. Having the post helps you see which side of the line as it were. It also tells less talented players when to stop running. Back on subject I hate the ridiculous 'entertainment' of two attacking players shielding the ball near the corner flag whilst defenders hack away trying to get on with things. Usually in the last five minutes and gets the losing team's fans very irate. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to change that when they are older, that's up to them. To be honest, I don't even remember having a conversation with her indoors about what surname the kids would use but I suppose we must have had one, just as we must have had a conversation about which country's passport they would have.

I think Martyn Waghorn hates it too, we were doing it pretty well the other night and got a couple of corners out of it until he decided he'd had enough of it and lashed one across the 6 yard box without another Derby player in sight.

Wolfie Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Dubbed adverts. On the rare occasion last night that I actually watched TV ads instead of fast-forwarding them, I noticed one for Calgon, badly dubbed into English, with the actors clearly speaking a different language. Sorry, but if a market of getting on for 70 million people isn't enough for you to spend a few quid re-shooting an advert in the local language, then you don't get my cash. I don't care if my washing machine will last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advertising people - stop doing it. Adverts that use text on the screen and mimic the sound of a keyboard when the text is being wrote. I can't explain why but the sound really grates on me and I find myself scrambling for the mute button whilst cursing and swearing. Usually to the amusement of my partner too.
