It's not against the rules.

There's the laws of the game then the common standard for how they are applied. Refs usually wait until an attack finishes before blowing for full time. It's a bit like the six second rule for goalies. It's rare that refs will enforce it even if the keeper hangs onto the ball for up to 15 seconds.

He he. What would have we won last year without this problem?

Looks a crap format.

The only good part about it is that if you are knocked out of 1 comp you are out instead of being able to drop down to the lower comp

Probably more appropriate for Sevilla although obviously not this season

Few rumours from Brazil that Pacqueta is in the clear.

Yep saw that, 80M transfer to City coming in the summer you would think if that's true.

Don't think he suits City at all but wouldn't be surprised if they go for him.

If he's cleared I reckon a transfer is nailed on. Maybe Bernardo leaving.

That's what I would suspect, replacement for him.

A sizeable transfer fee would be good for us in the summer, we need to fill the homegrown quota, bring in a LB and CB (one of Zouma or Aguerd will leave), a LW and a striker at a minimum.

No chance of Phillips plus £20m I'm guessing.

Only if Moyes stays really. Reckon Phillips goes back to Leeds if they come back up.

Apart from the extra two games in an already congested calendar, I’ve really warmed to this, I think it will improve the competition. Group stage has been largely a waste of time for years now.

Yikes. That's diabolical if she's proven guilty.

What'd she say?

Haven't seen it released anywhere.

Be strange they'd pursue charges if they didn't have something tangible as evidence I would've thought. She deserves the chance to clear her name of course.

Just wasn't sure if you knew and that's why you were calling her diabolical. The wording in the post is obviously just the technical definition of the charge not a description of the actual events.

Not calling her diabolical, more so if the golden girl of Australian football (even world football in the women's game) is proven to have done this, it would be a terrible look. How many young women look up to her as the amazing athlete/person she's shown to be prior to this? That would all come crashing down very quickly.
