Oh dear, how sad, what a pity.....

That movement and touch from Glenn Murray for that goal is amazing.

Genuinely only just found out you can’t be offside from a GK or a corner. We need to capitalise on that with Picko.

Me too - Are there any other mad football rules that aren't common knowledge (to plebs like us)?

I understand that all the football hipsters will have been well aware of these vagaries of the game so pipe down at the back

And a throw in!!

 

[Blue Magic]

And a throw in!!

And a drop ball.

Ed Woodward looks like a proper snake

More of a ferret....

I knew that one. Thought it - and being in your own half - were the only one haha.

I didn't know about the goal keeper's kick...is that fact?

Yup apparently so.

 

[deipnosophist]

Yup apparently so.

sheesh...you learn something new every day. So why doesn't a striker hang out on the oppo's 18 yard line all the time (in anticipation of their own GK getting the ball and hoooofing it to them?)

That’s what I was thinking especially with how far Pickford can kick it. They did it a few times with Aguero yesterday and scored from it once.

 

[deipnosophist]

Just checked...

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:

• a goal kick
• a throw-in
• a corner kick

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Don’t know if this works in England but I liked the conversation about United on our version of MOTD. Especially the part where they wondered if the job at United is too big for even Mourinho to complete.



Also we’re very lucky to have pundits who are not shameless homers for a big club. Mustoe played most of his career for Boro, Earle played for Port Vale and Wimbledon mk I, Rebecca is a diehard Palace supporter. Feel bad for you all having to put up with a bunch of RS honks all over your media.
