And the farce which is players encroaching into the area.

This is it

Change a rule that doesn't need changing just because they don't enforce another

Surely there's a lawyer on here that can clarify if it's actually fraud when you're trying to pay

I can't imagine any sane judge would let this go

Makes absolutely no sense

Mods, feel free to delete if not appropriate 5 years ago, my mother in law passed away after battling pancreatic cancer for 2 years. She is sorely missed.

A lot less if you extract all the non Claret shirts, of ancient history and then do the sum.

That'd make it nearly 30% where we didn't have them

Still quite a lot

Not much

I reckon we've had claret body with all blue sleeves for 78 seasons. That's about 55% of our 143 year existence

So for 45% of our existence we haven't had blue sleeves with a claret body

That's quite alot

Is Pendle Burnley?

No

But Pendle Hill is an iconic part of the surrounding landscape, visible from the Turf, and intricately linked to Burnley - physically and socially

I think its a great shirt. But the sponsor is embarrassing

The clubs can always say no to the wage demands

The players have power because so many of the clubs have allowed it to happen

If his agent earned 0.02% of his wage, he'd still earn more then the average UK salary

I disagree GWW There are grey areas, hence why the BPA and IPC brought in guidelines such as a 10 minute grace allowance. Also, in extenuating circumstances, rules are inadvertently broken. I believe a judge will likely accept this, and would query why the parking company did not The reason they don...

Roosterbooster

Your situation certainly falls into this. Any normal person would cancel the fine immediately. But normal people don't seem to work for these companies. Unfortunately the hospital is unlikely to be able to help either. Occasionally I have been given hospital parking tickets when on call, and the hos...

I agree that as a point of principle you should not pay There are lots of forums on private car parks and PCNs, and it's worth looking through them. Some have standard letters you can use. It's also worth checking the BPA and IPC rules. Some car parks don't have to follow these until 2026, but it al...

While I agree that volunteering and getting involved with the club would help, it's not always practical. My work hours are long and extremely unpredictable. I've raised money, and always helped out with lifts etc when I can, but beyond that I'd just run the risk of letting people down. But being a ...

This is great to hear Rooster, delighted you have found a resolution for him. Unfortunately, I reported my issue to the Club and, despite a lengthy chat with one of the committee members setting out the issue and the promise of a face to face meeting with the coach concerned, I have had to chase it...

We don't need a high street anymore. More choice, better service, cheaper prices online The easy access out of town shops, and the cheaper online availability might make it immediately better for the customer short term. But for the population as a whole long term, I imagine we'd be better off work...

It's not just the shops that we've lost, but the buildings that remain empty I was wandering down Grey St in Newcastle today. It's one of the most beautiful streets in the country. But so many frontages, and the floors above, remain empty. Absolutely ridiculous. Prime location being wasted. I just c...

I'd rather not. My youngest plays for their younger team. Their coach is completely different and has said they would never behave that way

It's not a local team to Burnley though

Roosterbooster

So just a bit of an update As expected, the 3 players expected to be booted out were booted out (bizarrely the coach said it broke his heart to have to do this. Obviously utter BS as it was his decision to even consider new players) The welfare officer of the club was very nice about everything. The...

Best midfielder the PL has ever seen I think
Possibly the best player the PL has ever seen
Guardiola said there was only one player in the world better at passing than him, and he really is the GOAT

Always difficult to logically argue who's the best for most things
But De Bruyne is certainly up there

I would assume that once evidence has been gathered, it must then be disclosed to the individual facing the charge. Osmajic and his team should be given the opportunity to review this evidence and gather any relevant information in preparation for the hearing. In cases judged on the balance of proba...

Also just a big thumbs up to all the coaches who have replied with their experiences. You sound like real good eggs

Thanks everyone. Some really helpful replies We will see how tonight pans out But if there is any indication that kids from last season are being booted at this age, and the club are fine with that, then I'm out of there Interestingly the club welfare officer is also the coach on my other lad's team...

So here's the thing. I'm not the coach, I'm one of the parents My 8y/o has been playing for the local U8 team. Its part of a club going from U6 to seniors. There are 2 U8 teams. Last season they had 8 players for a 5-a-side league. One or 2 brilliant players. A few average. A couple needing some tim...

Roosterbooster

Thanks for replying everyone

I think the general gist seems to be that you shouldn't do it, but lots of teams do

So my question now is, how would you tell 7 and 8 year olds/parents that you are replacing them with better players for next season?

Roosterbooster

At what age do you think it would be appropriate to start telling kids they aren't good enough for next season?

We could buy 100 Laurents with that.

I'd love a league where you get to field as many players as you like. Just as long as you're within budget

Roosterbooster

Question for those of you with kids that play in local teams

Do any of the teams tell players at the end of the season that they aren't good enough and replace them with better players?

Seems to be 2 arguments here.

1: Let the FA gather the evidence and present it when it's ready

2:

It's quite simple, I don't think it should take 4 months and counting to deal with a footballer who racially abuses another footballer and goes on to gloat about it. It's a very generous reading to assume it is taking the FA a long time because they are doing a thorough job. There is no reason to t...

Roosterbooster

Nope. If Osmajic can get away with racially abusing him, it is not protecting Hannibal for the FA to take a really long time to fail him. If Osmajic can racially abuse him on a football field he is not protected from racism at work, simple as. What more are you asking the FA to do? They are collect...
