My own approach to Football Manager was to give first team players 1-30 (with appropriate numbers for each position, obviously) with 1 and 25 for the goalkeepers. 31 and 32 were reserved for any extra goalkeepers added during the season, and any numbers from 30/33 upwards were awarded to new players in chronological order from their first start. The only real acceptable way of doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I agree generally with not using mental numbers but riordans 01 and skacels 51 amused me so I’m not for a full ban. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It was as recently as August '21 that Burnley fielded a team with numbers 1-11. Can't get more Dyche than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU ABSOLUTE WANKS At least on TV there will be announcements on how much time is being added. In the Scottish lower leagues there will be no indication given at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs already have electronic boards - why not just agree that a member of staff for the home team displays the stoppage time after the ref's notified them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Teams not shooting towards the away fans in the 2nd half. Just feels wrong, last minute winner and jumping into the big travelling support and getting a booking is one of the best things about football. Shouldn’t be a booking for celebration either while we’re at it. Sure I’ve said this before but fans constantly finding a way to blame the defenders/keeper when they concede no matter how good the goal is. Sometimes a goal is just great, you’re allowed to praise the other team once in a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 This is pretty trivial, but I hate match broadcasts that f**k around with closeups while play's going on - just let me watch the game properly ffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Zamorano wore "8+1" when he was at Inter, I'm sure, as he couldn't have the number 9 (big Ronaldo having bagsied that number already).

To add to this, when they are shooting towards the away fans, in any half really, who are sectioned in one corner (Anfield and Emirates are examples) but the players run to celebrate in the opposite corner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I was watching a recording of the old firm game last night, where Joe Hart came out and comfortably gathered the ball inside his box. Ok, so the Gers player was was close to getting the ball away from Hart, but the keeper had it under control. The thing is the commentator said the ridiculous phrase that I hear many so called pundits say “Hart just about got away with that” when he very clearly did get away with it. Why the f**k do all these pundits make this totally daft statement, when it’s very clearly wrong. to just about get away with it suggests to me that a player came close but failed to be successful, but these complete boolsacks say it when the player clearly didn’t fail.

The Golden God Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 “He’s given the referee a decision to make” as criticism when a defender does just about anything. That’s the refs fucking job. It’s almost always used when the ref gives a very soft penalty or card, as if a defender should do absolutely nothing in case the referee thinks he’s shot the striker in the face and sends him off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
