does the league cup count as part of a treble?

If you are Liverpool then yes. Otherwise not.

Probably has to do with a certain Japanese player that used to play for us.

He asked for this and signed for BVB forum.

Something I've never understood: if the ball goes out over the corner flag at the perfect 45° angle, what is awarded?

If Ronaldo is playing, A penalty

Posted by Silent Witness on first page - why does this count? I thought you can't score directly from a throw in so why can you score a direct own goal from a throw?

I think the ref said that he felt Enckelman grazed the ball with the underside of his foot.

I thought it'd be that, or I misunderstood both rules.

What is the law that specifically prohibits Premier League clubs from having terracing in their stadia?

Where are Tunnicliffe and Larnell Cole these days? I remember them talked about as potential first teamers a few back back. Haven't heard of them since we sold them.

Tunnicliffe is first team regular at Fulham.Larnell Cole has totally disappeared recently, not even playing for their U21s.

Good to know about Tunnicliffe. Is he getting good reviews?

Didn't they send Cole on loan? Or was it last season?

He had a good loan at Blackburn than broke into Fulham's side in the second half of this campaign.Seems to be good in their last game vs. Derby in which Lingard started for the opposition.

Cole was supposed to join Leyron Orient on loan this Jan but the deal was off by some reasons.Probably he was injured again.

Does anyone remember a couple years back when Ivanovic used an u21 match to serve a suspension? Why was he allowed to do that?

Why do so many people under the age of 60 put players like Lev Yashin, Pele etc. into their all-time XI?

I believe that is up to the referee to decide. The referee may either give a corner kick or a throw-in. I'll check later to see if there's something in the Laws of the Game about this.

I'm assuming you mean the younger football fans who've rarely, if ever, seen these players play. I believe it's down the reputation of these players within footballing circles, and the younger fans who don't know much about them view the player based on their reputation within footballing circles.

Then, there's those younger fans who actually watch many clips and/or recorded matches of these players and base their own judgement on them rather than on what others have said.

When the Premier League changed from 22 to 20 teams for the 1995/96 season, what was the reaction like from Championship teams competing in the 1994/95 season? Did many of the teams have issues with that change at that season?

2 wingers i always really liked - Joaquin and Vicente.

Do you guys think they reached their potential? If not, why? I know Vicente was a injury case, as supremely talented as he was.

Always loved Joaquin too. Assist machine once upon a time.

Hang on a minute, I'm under 60 (just)
Saw Pele play in 66 and 70 World Cups and even Yashin in the 66 WC

 

[iammemphis]

Why is their a 6 second rule for goalkeepers when holding the ball, when 90% of the time a keeper can hold a ball in his arms waiting for the penalty box to clear and then gets more time til he kicks it. Ive counted serveral times a keeper holding on for longer then 10 seconds, so whats the point? I get loads of moans when i try this tactic on a sunday morning haha.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

I remember some years ago during one Summer, several sources who'd spoken to Woodward on a pre-season tour wrote that Woodward described a potential deal as "on the fairway"

I remember the excitement after these stories, but i cannot remember who the player was

Google searches of "Woodward on the fairway" or "man utd on the fairway" aren't getting me anywhere.

Can anyone remember??

 

[Matthew84!]

How come its never checked when a GK is standing on the edge of his penalty area and throws out the ball? I think he handles it out the area when throwing it out.
Just what I think anyway, its never picked up by anyone,
