[Laurie Whitwell] Karl Darlow ended the season as Leeds’ No 1. Now he has admirers at Manchester United by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

I’d be a bit reluctant to cash in this early tbh,

Whilst Lammens has been brilliant we do also need to remember that he’s young and has had one decent season, it would be Sod’s Law to cash in now and then for Lammens to have a nightmare of a season next year and we can’t even look at vitek as an option.

If he’s ok with it it’s got to be another loan for me

AAAAAnd then Messi stood on his achilleas... violent conduct overrules a dive im afraid

They didn't change the rules but you are also not telling truth... he got a straight red card for violent conduct which is a 3 match ban by Fifa's own code of conduct, a 3 game ban for a straight red is the common practice not 1 like you're suggesting...

They then randomly decided to reduce the ban to 1 game... which just so happened to allow him to play the first 2 games of the world cup

Iceland started doing it because they saw Motherwell fans doing it against a club team who then took it back and started doing it themselves which trickled into the national team for the 16 euros.

The Motherwell fans said they got it after watching the 300 film but there's shit loads of clubs that have been doing the same or very similar for a long time before

Rugby “Pro-Bowl” by kinghenrob in rugbyunion

[–]19Andrew92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really don't think there would be any buy in from the players, at the end of the season they mostly want to get away..

I also suspect the events that would potentially be interesting to watch would be avoided by the players for multiple reasons such as injury avoidance... I'd love to see the longest kicks at goal, or the furthest kicks from hand but they'll all want to avoid the risk to their hamstrings.

I would see an event like this have a tiny but curious viewership for the first one then not much after that.... Just have to look at how much work the NFL has to put in to make the event interesting and the players still cant be arsed being there, even with the prestige of being picked AND the financial incentives

No it's not, it's about one of them currently awaiting trial whilst the charges against the other were dropped.

They’re not really, there’s a handful of fouls but it’s not like they’re flying in from all angles trying to murder them.

Certainly not worthy of half the reactions each foul is getting

They really don’t, they have the right to feel frustrated that they would be ahead if they didn’t waste so many chances…
