    When that numpty pulled McGeehan's hair I had 2 thoughts:-

    1) he's going to get sent off as he did it right infront of the referee and anytime I've seen someone pulling hair in football game before they always get sent off.
    2) a grown man, just pulled another mans hair - wtf is wrong with him?

    But the most puzzling part of the incident is the affirmation he got from the away fans as he trudged off. I just don't get it, why applaud an outbreak of deep stupidity by your player? I would be absolutely livid at him, not clapping him off - he's just proven himself to be less of a man and also to behave in a very unprofessional manner. What is there to applaud?!?!?!?!

    I’ve never understood why people don’t mark the throw in taker. 99.999999% of throw ins end up with a first time pass straight back to the guy who took it.

    Always said the same, cut off the supply back to the thrower

    Rolling the ball forward five centimetres when taking a corner, to just outside the quadrant. Like it'll actually make any difference.

    In some situations 5cm could make a significant difference

    In fact,why are they allowed to take a corner with the ball out of the quadrant.Its there for a reason and every game shown on tv they are allowing the corner to be taken like that.

    Always confused me, that. I've taken corners before. The quadrant is underrated.

    Only a part of the ball needs to be either on the line or over it, appears alot of times that its not but thats the guidance
