Happy Thanksgiving to all Just relaxing after a great turkey dinner and a quiet afternoon with the family playing Trivial Pursuit. One of the good things about moving around the world is that you get to celebrate lots of different holidays. I actually find Thanksgiving to be one of the best -...

Where Seagulls Fry (NSC's favorite chippy?)

Bummer is it used to work OK before last season. Since Hereford I had gone from almost inaudible BBC World Service scores at the end of the day (if lucky) to live commentary and video highlights. Now it's going backward, 'cos I have to rely on text commentary and NSC with no video!

It's a DRM problem Sorry, the DRM they use only works on Windows. I'm, a Mac person and this is the reason I cancelled my SW membership.

Updated Laws of the Game You can download the Laws at FIFA.com - Laws of the Game Then check the advice to referees of Law 11 starting on page 102.

We haven't scored in the first ten minutes of the second half??? - DW/DK/etc... out!!!!

It was just on trial in certain leagues/cups. I liked it too, but evidently the powers that be decided not to pursue it further.

Used to be this way, but it changed about 2 years ago to an IFK. Lot's of refs are still getting it wrong. I'm a ref instructor and we've been told to hammer this in our recertification classes (over here at least).

Cookeville, not too far from Chattanooga. When the Mrs and I were coaching 'yoof soccer' we brought our team to quite a few tournaments down there.

Pros and cons of living anywhere, imho. Hate country and just ignore it, but most people here are more friendly and helpful than anywhere else I've been in the US (or UK!)

Agreed. Tennessee, and Kentcuky to the north, are definitely in 'The South' which is more a cultural than geographical division anyway. However the 'deep south' is usually taken to mean the abovementioned three states, especially the swamps and bayous - you know, 'Deliverance' country. Not to...

While agree this is wierd and nasty stuff, you might try looking Missouri up on a map. I live in Tennessee and even we are not 'deep' south!

10.30 pm here in middle TN. I'm all-a-flutter too. Can't decide whether to stay up and wait for the news, or get up in the middle of the night to find out! Watched the '83 Cup Final on the telly yesterday. Couldn't help thinking it could all have been so different if Smith had scored! Enjoy...

Another vote for this one:thumbsup:

Well, despite the warnings popping up the commentary has worked for me on my mac, up to this week at least.

Good to know it's not just me then!

I am a ref instructor over here in the US so may be able to shed some light. Refs are taught to take into account the 'spirit' of the Laws in cases like this - especially in kids' games. This Law is there to prevent time-wasting by the keeper. Your lad's case was clearly not this, but...

Direct from Law 16 (FIFA Laws of the Game ) "A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team." Been that way for quite a while, I think.

Me neither! :censored:
