I think I could push myself to be happy in my work if I was on that sort of money!

I've no idea how much Howard Webb gets paid! [:D][:D]
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

Funds paid to date accepted as F&F 16th August 2013, the wait for completion begins.
Wait over....certificate recieved 3rd May 2014

They were soft penalties this afternoon, but I have so say not as soft as the one Sturridge got the other week.

While we were watching the match I said it would be interesting if, for one match, the referee had a head camera so we can see what he sees. We're all quick to criticise but we have the benefit of replays, which I think the referee should have for some (not all) decisions.

Good point well put Skippy, Tony Pulis made a good point about the PFA making an issue to players to stop the play acting to get decisions, especially when the outcome of the game can depend on them.

Something has got to be done as the play acting is getting worse. I would hate to see every decision being referred to a replay, but I think major decisions like penalties and sendings off should be as they can change the course of the game.

I'm a big cricket fan and when the TV replays were brought in I wasn't keen but it has improved the game in a lot of cases. I appreciate it's a slower game, but I think it could work in football.

I agree with goal line tech to confirm the ball has gone over the line or not, other decisions not so sure. They tried extra refs at euro's last year and it ended up with 6 refs debating decisions. I guess time will tell.

N'zog has retracted his tweet but tbh its too late!

I'd want it like it is in cricket, just one referee or umpire watching the replay, not a whole posse of them on the pitch like last time!

And no, Harry for England!

I love Harry...I'll always remember the day my son (9 at the time) asked him 'how's Jamie?', his reply will stick with me forever and made my sons day........'he's fine thanks, in fact he was asking over you only the other day'

Slightly off topic but, the FA Cup is in Hereford tonight, along with Motty, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Newcastle game.
My son in law is at the function and just sent me a text to say that Motty is absolutely sh**faced.

Ronnie Radford's equaliser, the quagmire of a pitch......iconic FA Cup images.
