Yeah, they could test each other on the Laws of the Game.

First Question: When an attacker enters the penalty area and a defender sticks out his leg and trips the attacker, what should the referee award?

I am not sure where in the Coaching Manual it teaches players who have just beaten another and passing behind them, that sticking a leg out is a good move. Taking the player out is almost certain, getting the ball is not

So bloody obvious I cannot see any room for doubt. I did notice the commentator on the clip saying 'Ive seen them given' as if there was an element of a doubt. He has seen them given because it was a stone wall penalty.

Avoiding the DT this morning. Perhaps City have played worse - I cannot recall when. So when I am told not to go arguing online I am happy to obey her - for a while.

If she's like some of the girls I've been with, then he'll send her for an early bath.

And what antics do they get up to in added time, and how much time does Our Michael add on for a 'celebration'?
