Sorry if its a repost but has anyone said the most obvious one that almost everybody is pissed off about – The outrageous and blatant refereeing bias towards Man Utd.

Football doesn't solely exist in the UK. Just so you are aware, there are other countries involved

And hooliganism continues to flourish in the UK....

Why raise the question if you're not open to critique!?

Defenders obstructing other players to see the ball out of play without making any attempt to play it themselves.

I know, it was my shocker of an attempt at being clever.

I do like this new one that they have found the `new` fellaini. he has only been around in the headlines for a couple of seasons, bizarre.

Bal goes out of play behind the goal li ne on the left. Goalie takes a ferking age going to the other side of the goal to put it back in play. et the ref point to the side it is to be kicked from.

It is time wasting

Secondly, there has only ever been one change to offside law since its inception, level used to be off, now it's on.

Not so - see http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/law/su...

Original law - offside if ahead of the ball
1860's - offside if ahead of third-last defender
1925 - offside if ahead of second-last defender

Jamie "gob on a stick" Redknapp and his inability to shut the fk up and listen when any of the other pundits is talking.

Players holding their hands up in a mock "I didn't touch him guv" after blatant hack, knee, punch, head butt (Felaini) like this...

Sorry, yes you're right. I should have said one change since 1925.

But the recent changes to the interpretation of the offside law has made it far harder for teams to play the offside trap, not easier. Far more situations that would have been given offside in the 90s are now not given offside.

By the way, the gag was that the Arsenal subbuteo team came with four players with their arms in the air.

I take your point about marginal decisions in dangerous areas, but I'm talking about everything being condensed into the middle of the pitch, congesting the play.

It's just the way teams set up now, and the resulting tippy-tap football does not suit me.
