I had the pleasure of playing (badly) Sunday football with Billy many years ago. A very funny guy and superb wind up merchant on the pitch. Bumped in to him occasionally at city games and very sorry to hear the news. RIP.

There no age restrictions anymore due to European Legislation. (FIFA are not restricted by this legislation due to being in Switzerland.) There is a fitness test and they need to pass this. If they fail it then no games until they do. This applies to all ages. Test for PL Referees is 6 x 40m...

I get what you're saying Eli. To the players immediately around you and if this were to happen on a parks pitch then I agree. However at the semi professional levels and upwards referees are always going to stop the game to caution for this as it could be impossible to sell if you then wait for...

Hi Eli, This is covered under Law 12 Fouls and Misconduct. Whilst I agree that the decision is incorrect in the fact that Sergio did not "attempt to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)," the referee can stop play for the following:- An indirect...

Having listened to Chris Evan's Breakfast show over the last few days, it would appear that Mr. Ferris is a Southampton fan. Been getting a mention in for them at every opportunity especially after the weekend.

I think it was towards the end of the 84-85 season against Oldham. Jamie Hoyland, who may have been making his debut, is lying injured in the centre circle and has been there for some time. Andy May ran past the ref and gestured towards the prostrate Hoyland. Immediately the game stopped and I...

Bizarrely, the FA Cup final is on the 30th May and The CL Final is 6th June! One long season, and if similar to this year the following seasons fixtures will be out on June 17th!

Look in your purchase history it is there. My youngster got in at 96 seeing as I was on at 10:05. There was one lad who posted in the other thread at 20 so he must have had fast fingers this morning!

I've got my 3 year old in at number 96. He'll be 5 at the point of this coming in so bang on for me! No more arguements with his older brother on which gets a seat seeing as the older got his own ticket this year!!!

In law this is correct. if, in the opinion of the referee, a foul tackle is careless, then the restart is just a freekick. If it is reckless, then it is a caution, and if it endangers the safety of an opponent then a red card. The problem and hence the general conception of the general public is...

Me and the wife. £40 x 2 Tickets £20 diesel (Split with Friend who we gave a lift to with her son) £11 return train from Watford (Group booking!) £4.70 car park at Watford Junction £35 food and drink all day So £150 all day for the 2 of us, bargain. Somehow spent less than last one. See how we...

I was one of those who did not receive a ticket through the post for the last semi after some had been lost/stolen from a post office van and had to collect from the Wembley ticket office. It was an absolute doddle. The description of where it is is spot on. Find the statue and there are steps...

I checked up on the parking for the station and it can be prebooked at londonmidlandparking.com for £4.70 for the day. Otherwise it's now one of these pay by text car parks. 5 of us going in by train to Wembley Central, 4 adults and 1 kid for £23.00 all in return on a group booking. 10 minutes...

5 of us (4 adults and 1 child) are driving to Watford and it has cost £23.00 all in for a group booking return to Wembley Central. Car Park is £4.70 and can be pre booked on Londonmidlandparking.com. Total travel costs with diesel about £75.00 between us. Bargain, but means a dry day for me!!!

It's been 5 years today since my old man died and so it has been a bit emotional, but this just tipped me over the edge. He let me choose my own team as lad and I remember deciding as 7 year old that I wanted to be a City fan. Only later did I find out that he had a season ticket for a couple...

Once Mackie scored I just dropped back i my seat and basically just kept staring at the score board not really believing what it said, 1-2. I was just shaking and resigning myself to thinking we are one place better than last year and we are still building and well maybe next year (Patience is...

This for me. When they carried the trophy out and also mentioned Joe Mercer's widow was there I lost it. I didn't think I'd ever cry at football but yesterday just brought home how much emotional investment I've put in to our club for the 27 seasons I've been going. Even watching them lift the...

This was one of my best memories of an away game (Even if I did travel down on "Helen's coach") and I took one of the skeletons! The paddling pool complete with swimming man was just typical of our humour but wasn't the fight between Frankenstien and Godzilla at Leicester?

Stop the game. Award indirect free kick to defending team at the point where you touch the ball for the second time. No one else has played the ball.

Don't Look Back, so long as no one else touches it it would be a corner if you throw it in to your own net. If an attacker throws it in with no one touching it then the restart is a goalkick for the defence.
