Allow throw-ins to be kick-ins. Can't score directly but you can float it in. Reckon we'll see more goal action this way, and also pressures players to keep the ball in.

If they really wanted to see more goals a la lovely American sports they could just make the goal bigger.

I defo think we should make keepers do more though.

Thus actually sounds really cool.

Call them and tell them that they are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring.

This is my favorite post of all time.

Doesnt Frimmy play in Russia these days? Must be dench at some level.


He plays for a poo poo side near the border with Kazakhstan and gets racially abused. It really isn't dench at all.

It was looking like his career would be over soon by the time he left England. He woulda gone anywhere that paid him a decent wage.

By Russian standards, he very much does

He looked like he might settle into a team at the high championship/lower premier league level, and then he did his ACL twice and couldn't cut it in the Championship. It's not like he was passing up opportunities in England.

No chance.

Eh. He was only like 18/19 before his injuries. He maybe could have been a poo poo clogger for Sunderland or something.

First two seconds of this is the best video I could find at the moment and it'll probably get nuked by UEFA soon.

Instead of "Big Team B" in the lower leagues, make it so that Big Team can sign "reserve contracts" with one Small Team per league (so could be just one or could be one per division) and give them money and loan players in exchange of them giving play experience to said players. This would be a win-win imo and could allow Chelsea to own 500 players but all of them get playing time and small teams benefit from dirty oil money.

This is actually a pretty good idea.
