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.

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

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.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying. 
    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
