I really enjoyed watching that game today. Too many obvious things to mention. I've got a suggestion that I think most football fans would agree with that should be adopted in football. City player goes down today with an 'injury'* but is not fouled, in the refs opinion. It's not a serious 'injury' after the ball is kicked out, as he doesn't require treatment. Meanwhile the team with the ball are in effect punished as they feel obliged to put the ball out of play. They get the ball back but have to start from the back.


In rugby if someone is injured the player can be attended to by the medical staff while play continues. Surely if this were adopted in football we would have less of the feigning of injury that we have now. It seems players do it so the ball is put out of play, as a tactic. Hard to prove of course.


*The point of the asterisk is to say that when it it obvious that a serious injury has occured then I would expect most decent human beings to put the ball out of play if only to highlight how serious it is and get attention to the player as quickly as possible.

Brilliant game nevertheless. We were seated behind the correct goal in order to get a prime view of all 5 goals. FABULOUS! Quite a few yellow cards TOO, tutt tutt!


As for Anderson, WHAT a breath of fresh air.

As well as telly highlights, I see several newspapers are not permitted entry to grounds because of a dispute between the football governing bodies and the media groups. So journalists are being prevented from reporting on what's in front of them while 60000 fans can tweet/text to their hearts content. Greedy, ridiculous nonsense

Note from Admin:


There seems to have been a bug in the system that merged two discussions together, "Single Guys in ED" and "Football Focus", as Football focus was the largest (by about 250 pages!) this has become the main thread.


Sorry about that.

Any Single guys in ED?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By Sue · Posted

      As it turned out after my post, the police have photos. And even if they didn't, the OP reported the incident to the police, who would have asked for a description.  However there are all sorts of problems with eye witness descriptions, which would just be multiplied with several kids involved. I stand by my post. Are you suggesting a full description of these kids should be posted on here so that ... what?  Vigilante action by forum members? And if there was mistaken identity? Then what? Even if there wasn't, there could be all sorts of background issues relating to this sort of anti social behaviour. It should be left to the police to find and  appropriately deal with  the perpetrators of criminal behaviour. The police are far from perfect, but the alternative just makes a general slide into lawlessness more likely.

      bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac) "Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them"... green & purple mohican with accompanying buffalo 🦬 horns through the nose might do it; or simply hairstyle, skin colour, sartorial outfit... 🤔 "and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?" eyewitness reports? 😏
