Re: 24 teams for Euro 2016 too many?

I don't think its too many in the sense of diluting the quality of the competition, europe has more than enough good teams to fill the extra spots, and there will be still good teams that miss out. In that sense 24 teams is not too many, however i do think that it was just fine with 16 teams and the...

Re: Referee Questions

Good questions 1) Corner 2) Is the ball in play at the time? Red card to the offender though 3) IDFK and a caution for Unsporting Behaviour 4) when a more serious offence has happened after the initial offence 5) Start of the 2nd half I believe the answer to 1 is a goal since the ball is in play as...

Re: Melissa Barbieri fundraising for her stay in Adelaide

Yes its not a good look, but how do people expect the club to have the money to offer players a decent salary if people arn't going to the games to watch.

Re: Manchester United's Champions League chances written off

If Moyes thinks that he doesn't have enough world class players in the squad then why did he spend most of the pre season chasing Fellaini?

My nephew plays JSL and loves it even though he knows he isn't th...

Re: Blowing whistle too early

The problem behind these things happening is that there isn't enough referees to cover all the games. I've been to a few of my nephews games and the behaviour of some coaches, but more often parents watching can be shocking, especially towards referees who wouldn't be more than a year or two older t...
