Should the FA be doing this?  What do you say?

Big Phil is the right choose. I'm English myself and i would have loved to have seen an Englishman in the job, but the truth is none of the candidates are good enough. \nBig Phils record speaks for itself, world cup winner with Brazil in 2002, Euro 2004 final with Portugal. What have the English managers won.......Not alot if anything, 1 Carling Cup for Mclaren.\nThe fact is as English Fans we want to win something, we don't want 2nd we want to win. And with big phil ( if he takes the job) we stand the best chance of winning something!!

You are right. There are too many divers and to me they are just plain cheats. El Hadj Diouff springs to mind at Blackburn early in the season. I watched that match and was ashamed to be supporting the team he played for, Bolton Wanderers. Chelsea are full of them as are Arsenal. To gain an advantage is one thing but to deliberately try to get a fellow professional sent off is a disgrace. Not only could it damage his earnings and team's performance but also his international prospects. Anyone doing this should be immediately sent off, fined two weeks wages and banned for three matches for which they should not be paid also. That would soon stop them

Yeah...those questions are actually kind of no-brainers.  Considering you cannot go wrong either way in most cases.....it is not really all that big of a dilemma.  Not to mention EVERY manager probably has a great team and the old adage of "anyone can beat anyone on a give week" is so true in small leagues.  The eventual champion will indeed be the luckiest team....since no skill is involved in building your team.

Not quite.  They are certainly underachieving, and suffering from an injury bug.  Fat Fred isn't making the best choices.  They'll avoid relegation and find some wins when they get healthier.\n\nFor the first time, though, I think Roeder should be sacked.  His personnel decisions today were crap.  Put Duff back on the wing.  He's not a striker.  Milner, Zogs should not have been taken off.  Hell, Milner's been the main life of our game lately.  Rossi should have been paired with Luque up front, who deserved a shot after the win at Palermo.\n\nI'm not hoping, but you've shown your colors you smelly smoggy.

Good idea! And i have something to add there:\n\nWhat about giving 3 points for an away victory, but just 2 points to a home victory?\n\nTogether with your rule, this would be a break-trough in soccer...\n\nCheers

Yesterdays Australia game proves that refs need help on important decisions like last minute penalties.\nNow Australia are heading home ...and that is wrong.\nRefs need more help and less interference from FIFA.\nWe sure need video help,  and it's gonna come sooner or later, the sooner the better.

The real mess up is the fact that this decision is being made now, it should have been made bit sooner, or be applied to next season. It seems pointless to apply a points penalty at the stage of the season when a club can do nothing about it. They may was well just formally relegate them, instead of imposing a points reduction.\n\nOn the other hand, they did break the rules this season, and influenced this season's points tally. I also suppose it was only realised a couple of months ago, so that is actually quite quick.\n\nI'd be rubbish on one of these arbitrating panels.

Put money where your mouth is, and go bet on United to win. In addition, have a flutter on your predicted scoreline.\n\nLet's then see whether you have the guts to do so. Talk is cheap.\n\nBut I'm sure you already know by doing so, you'll be throwing good money after bad. \nChelsea should be good for at least a point, if not all 3.

Well the refs have to be paid.  But I don't think they are being bribed.  Maybe the teams try to bribe the refs but you don't want to get in such a situation because if it comes out...then all hell breaks loose

FIFA announced today they will be taking no further action against Figo. Portugal's manager is planning to appeal Deco's red card. No news on the ref, Ivanov. Three highly regarded European refs have had bad matches, Ivanov, Merk, and Poll. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw all three again.

i think 4 feilders should remain inside the circle during whole duration of the match.\n   There has been no formal announcement or any review committee to look into the law of powerplays.Till now no scrapping of the rule will take place

I believe one of the players from the Argentinian team ran across the pitch and thumped one of the officials from FIFA. The players also from both teams got involved in a rumpas. Not good really,they are making themselves as bad, if not worse than football hooligans! Shocking scenes on the news.

I think that if he is meeting him to explain how referee's are apllying the laws of the game....it should be a meeting between all the premiership teams and not just one!! I smacks of a fix to me......we'll see in the coming months if things start going Chelski's way be suspicious.

I would consider them leading. The game is not over yet, so I would not say they are "winning" the game. In football/soccer, anything could happen at the last minutes. :-)

On UK news the other day they mentioned that the German police are particularly watching Polish fans at this year's World Cup.  They interviewed one of the thugs who explained whose country's fans will be targetted and why.  English and German fans were particular targets.\n\nHere's a link: http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,397447,00.html\n\nSad isn't it.\n\nThey should organise the Football Violence World Cup.  Get these gangs somewhere on thier own and let them sort it out amongst themselves.\n\nps. I think one of the reasons the Polish want to fight with the English hooligans is that the English ones have such a bad rep.

It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it wouldn't work in practice.\n\nLook at the talk about Beckham going to America.  They have a maximum wage, but the president of the team he is likely to go to will arrange sponsorship from one of his other companies to make up the difference.\n\nIt would be like Chelski paying Shevchenko £50,000 a week, but Abramovich plc sponsoring him £80,000 a week.\n\nAll we can hope for is that Abramovich loses interest, and Man Utd relocate to New York.
