It should be Manchester United versus Arsenal (not Liverpool).

If you have already sent your selections in and want to change the result for that game, then please PM me.

Sorry
Diz

I have now changed my website to show the correct fixture.

All beans present and correct now Mr.Bean-Counter ??

If I had known that, I would have guessed differently (tactics). I would more likely have gone for 5 or less. Can we have a rerun?

How long are you stuck out there and how often do you get home?

dizbuster · #**249** 05-04-2006, 15:02

I was only in Kazakhstan for 8 days and am now back in London waiting for the next 22 days roll on after which I'm back off out to LOS

As for the bonus, here's a question for you and if you get it right I will add a point to your score !!

What is the offence that only a goalkeeper can get booked for ? i.e. no other player can be booked for the same offence ?

You have until 12 noon on Saturday to get your extra point

You only have one attempt at the answer.

The answer I was given is that a goalkeeper should be booked if he rolls up his sleeves, whereas outfield players can do the same, but they won't get booked.

Someone did send me an answer saying that only keepers can be booked for holding on to the ball for more than 6 seconds, which is true. However, outfield players cannot handle the ball at all, so therefore cannot be booked for holding the ball for more than 6 seconds (they get booked for handball instead), whereas keepers are booked. Make sense ?

Cheers
Diz

no point for gez as he didn't attempt an answer

I'm not sure what happened there, I will look into it and make the necessary adjustments tonight.

That's because Gez did not know about the question

Gez did what Gez was supposed to do on Diz's website, Gez did not know that Diz had moved the goalposts (topical slant to post).

Goalkeeper can also get booked for wearing the same colour shirt as the rest of the team. Point please

Dont think so Gez, He just gets told to change his shirt, Actually happened in one of the games last weekend.....

And no booking... So again no point

http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/RulesAndR...2/05/12102.htm

Here are the laws from the FA site, No mention of sleeves here

But

It does say that a goalkeeper must wear a different colour shirt

Goes on to say if a player returns to the field without obeying the referee's instruction " yellow card" so if the goalie returned in a similar colour shirt Gez could be right.

But thats not what he said

So again no point for Gez

mars · #**260** 17-04-2006, 04:41

Not on about Gez having the point

Just that it could be possible

I was joking mars

But seriously if a ref tells a player to do anything, Whether its to change a shirt, Wait for the whistle, Take 10 yards etc..etc.. If a player does not do it, Then it is clearly descent and that automaticly brings out the yellow anyway, And if they refuse futher, It will be red... So it is the same thing really?

PS: How about we dock Gez 10 points for his consistent complaining, Or should I say "Descent"

steve w · #**262** 17-04-2006, 17:11

I didn't know Anglesey had made it thru !!

With regards to the "shirtsleeve issue", I will refer the above comments to the guy who told me about this. Unfortunately he is not in this week as he's doing his final week's preparation for running in next weekend's London Marathon.

wakeboycam · #**266** 18-04-2006, 16:39

Good luck Big Buck$. I don't think i will be able to pass you anymore in the last weekend. To bad you almost equalt my highest score last weekend otherwise it could have become a very near finish. i made some unexpected forecasts so who knows ... its all or nothing now

What if he had refused to change his shirt?

Anyway what's it got to do with you? Have you appointed yourself as a linesman.
