REDS V BLUES tomorrow: Wembley (and I have a ticket, but am ill so may not go :'()

Oh what has happened to Bluerevolution? I miss his relentless pisstaking.

BR is like ManC players - he has realised he doesn't like Manchester and wants a transfer to an Italian club.

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.

I was gutted there were no highlights on telly last night.

[StraferJack]

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

Blue-boys will have their greatest start to the season for a while. Zero points but significantly no negative in the GD column,

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?

Well????

[Domme_Jay]

lol very good q!

[Fliss]

Over a hundred views in under two hours suggests that a lot of people would like to know the answer! ;-)

[StraferJack]

I think it's more - "if someone has started yet another thread about this topic maybe it's something a bit more interesting this time... oh dear no, it's not, move on"

[SpaghettiSue40]

In other words, yes, but i am married

[jenniejenjen10]

ooooow Strafer Jack....I take it you are not a single man then???

[edhistory]

I meet several every day. They often have large wadges.

Perhaps you are looking in the wrong places.

[nicolajaneG]

nah............

[LadyDeliah]

What is a wadge, and should we be concerned?

[SteveUK1978]

Not surprised they are single if they have a large wadge - bit unsightly.

[neilson99]

Yes! Though I've no idea what or where my wadge is

[Alex K]

As one who proudly sports the "large wadge badge", I can confirm that many single men live in East Dulwich. We are all gay.

[LadyDeliah]

And herein lies the problem.

Well for hot-blooded hetro females of ED in anycase.

Not so sure it's a problem for the wadge loving gay men.

[Frankito]

I think we need one of Nette's Google visual masterpieces to demonstrate to anyone who may not know what a wadge is (including my good self..!)
