October last year I went to Dubai for a family trip. After arriving at the hotel I do what I always do.....
.. Get the groundhopper app up and see what's around..... Just for interest. I saw a game the next night about a 25min taxi ride away. Can't remember the team now but had a quick look at the squad and didn't recognise anyone. No need to test the water then on my chances of checking out a game. A couple of days later it was replayed on TV and Adel was playing for the away team. Couldn't believe it. Would've given it a big You Rsss....
Lesson learnt for next time! |

I wish they would bring the treatment without stopping play into football.
I don't know why they haven't at least trialed it before. Waiting for, and receiving "treatment" is surely the number one time wasting technique. Must be at least worth a go. I would introduce that above everything else with the option of the club doctor signalling to the ref that it is a really serious injury. In which case, the game could be stopped if necessary(suspected broken leg for example). The 30 seconds off thing won't make any difference. It will still take ages for the physio to come on, play the game and slowly all walk off together. |

The problem with the stop clock is that the ball is actually in play for an average of 50-55 mins I read once. Adding an extra 30 odd mins to a game doesn't appeal... especially to an away midweek game. When players are "injured", why can't the physio run on during play like they do in Rugby? Just play around them. No need to stop. Also, there should be a universal time allowed from the 1st minute for all throw-in and GKs. Say 10 seconds. I guess there is a rule for GKs but it isn't enforced until the last couple of minutes. The amount of time it takes for these long throw specialist to set themselves up is a joke. That alone must take 10mins out of a game. Don't know why they are allowed to take as long as they like to dry the ball?
Personally don't think we lost yesterday due to the officiating but the bigger picture of time wasting needs to be addressed.
Obviously wont be...... but feels good to let it out. :). |

Exactly this. Not that long ago I heard Ruben on the podcast say that a player could be the best around, but if he is the "wrong sort" (or similar, can't remember the exact wording) he wouldn't be for us.
This guy is the wrong sort. He was lucky not to get booted out of Derby. In an alternative set of circumstances he could have killed someone and be inside.
I understand everyone makes mistakes etc..... but this is not your everyday mistake and should be treated as such. Really hope we don't put any of our hard earned in this guys pocket. |

Yeah, it's a good point about giving it the "didn't pass a late fitness test" line if the negotiations hadn't got to Mannings stage at that time.
We would have all known it was rubbish but it's about playing the game with these things. |

I think it's a bit harsh to blame the club to be honest. They have their stance on this and judging by the comments on here offering different opinions on how to make the remaining months of his contract here as difficult as possible it would seem most would seem to agree with this.
If people start sending him abuse over social media that's not the clubs fault. |
