It is obvious there will be no replay.Do you bend the rules back to suit.It seems the FIFA chiefs will be debating in December wether to introduce assistant referees behind the goal lines in the world cup as they do in the U A F A League.More chance of human error,not a step in the right direction.
First of all ban all managers from the touchline and put them in the stand.
The fourth referee could then be in a
cubicle with the technology, be able to look at instant replays and give his view.The sub numbers could be flashed up on the screen in the ground .
Why not give the captains two options to question the referees decision in a match and no more.The referee could raise a card (white)? to indicate the captain has asked for a second opinion the fourth referee would give his verdict and the referee would then be guided by him.
It”s time for Platini to put down his martini.
Blatter to put down his platter,
And attend to things that matter.jim

Hi Crispin. Chris Sutton on the radio has gone for a Chelsea v Coventry final. As we know anything can happen in the Cup, and I reckon we can go to the final.
We’re still in with a chance of the play offs too, so lots to go for.
Hey Kev
Let the masses drool over their odds on City v Unted Final, but who knows how pressure can hit.
Cov and Chels will be rightly labelled as having no chance..but hey …stranger things have happened..
so Chelsea v Coventry…that’s the Final for us!

Hi Crispin,
How are you doing mate? Yes, you’re probably right but hey football is all about emotion and passion and I just love writing about the game. I try to keep my poetry to a reasonable length but there’s so much to write about the game and its literature just lends itself naturally to poetry. Sometimes I just get completely carried and I do apologise for the length of my poetry but it’s a great thrill to be associated with Football Poets.
Cheers mate
Joe
You’re right of course Joe but…..it’s actually more of a big welcome break for everyone who is not into Premier League ..I’m talking fans of EFL National League and below…..
Btw …is this actually your longest poem ever !?

There’s something so evocative and nostalgic for football fans the world over, in ‘revisiting’ old lost grounds.
Occasionally some remnants remain, with perhaps part of a wall or part or a stand or thre shape of a terrace, but often they are only still there in faded images and in our heads..
Great stuff Graham
A great idea and well executed. Thanks Graham.
Thanks Gacina, glad you liked it, and I have just posted a new one about our points deduction…
Today B.B.C post on F.B was titled:Premier League reduced to 18 clubs? I really think it may be interesting to see if this would be Everton’s nightmare and this poem is well suited for this concern.If there would be more difficult battle to stay if there were 18 teams.Great poem and somehow true.
Ashington FC have launched a £50,000 Crowdfunder appeal to meet the increased costs of winning promotion last season, to pay for urgent stadium improvements, travel costs and equipment
