Dortmund being Dortmund, losing at home to Koln 1-2, all the while Bayern come from behind to beat Stuttgart 1-3.

It could/should be a good thing - overturning 'shockers', etc However, when you're drawing lines for mm offside decisions, then the system is wrong. Other sports implement their systems well, and are transparent. No reason football can't do the same; and it seems to be better in other countries. We have a problem in this country, it's called Mike Riley.......

I'm another for this; clean & simple. And green for the goalie top.....(yeah, I'm showing my age)

The GF's favourite sport - an OFFICIAL STUDY
Haan'sThunderbolt replied to The Golden Eel's topic in GF - General Forum
Ah yes, you mean Downhill MTB?? Not the XC version? Which is no were near as good. -
The ref who used to be a Kiwi, but is now an Aussie - how long before he's Welsh? He is abysmal, he 's been conning England for years, saying that, most refs do seem anti English. As expected, he got the scrum wrong...... 9/10 times I'd expect England to win, but I find it hard to accept a defeat like that, somethings not right.

FA fine Suso for offensively tweeting Enrique. Yes, his teammate and friend Enrique

They obviously didn't expect Liverpool to take action, so decided they would..... Cretins!! Did Enrique or anybody complain about a tongue in cheek comment... -
Yes, and even had a goal disallowed in the first half, which Didi thought was harsh.

Have to agree about Phil Gil - I think he's probably based his whole season around this race, as he's had a poor season until la Vuelta, getting into form just at the right time.

The rumours seem to suggest they've outbid BMC. Makes sense really. Sky are now a GT team, and everything will be based around winning/ challenging for the Giro, Le Tour and Le Vuelta. Having Cav (and Eisel) is 2 less climbing domestiques. As for OPQS, they don't usually do anything after April, and the Classics campaign, built around Tommeke. Having quite a few of the HTC old guard already there will help - and winning stages in the GT's is his big motivation, and winning the Green jersey.

Excellent post!! Fully agree. Don't start me on Rallying..... For example, I've forgotten how good hockey is, I remember the 1984 GB bronze & 1988 Gold as well as the 1986 World Cup which was covered by the BBC - the players were household names. The BBC aren't meant to be about chasing ratings; surely covering minority sports are part of their remit. A lot of these sports need mainstream coverage - what will happen now after the games have finished? Back to obscurity..?? What about legacy?
-
This game reminds me slightly of the Quarter final in 1996 at Villa Park; Portugal with most of the pressure, and the Czechs nick a goal....

If a new stadium and naming rights is announced I’d feel really positive about the future. Maybe a refurbishment is the most practical/ sensible way to go – but isn’t that what has dragged the club back the last 20 years – going for the safe option? Somebody mentioned Liverpool’s YearZero – a fresh start, and everything that goes with it is probably what the club needs. For too long we’ve looked back – and instead of using it as a force for good, and being proactive, have wallowed in it and not progressed.

Jay Spearing - what are you?
Haan'sThunderbolt replied to The Dude Abides's topic in FF - Football Forum
A great lad, who really tries, but surely isn't good enough at this level. And there's no crime in that - but shouldn't be getting picked. -
Can't have a cricket thread without mentioning the start of the County season, yesterday. Lancashire start their defence next week at Aigburth.

So it's okay to push defenders over? Kuyt was pushed out the way.....
