I was just using them as an example but I do not think they are that rare especially around the centre circle. Dont ask me which games but I am reasonably sure it has happened a couple of times at The Amex this season already.

Just a point but how many times do we concede a goal and when talking to a mate you agree it all came about because Stephens Propper or AK got dispossessed or lost the ball near the half way line.

It is all dependant on how deep and how far they go back to watch it. In the case of a try they could have decided that the ref gave a corner and that was wrong but would they go back that far as it is all part of the build up to the goal. What if the ball that lead to the corner was the...

When VAR eventually comes in will it refer back to such incidents to allow or disallow a goal as in rugby where the lead up to a try is taken into account looking for infringements.

This all progressed from me saying that if a county official reported the incident it will be investigated, quite simple really.

It is what my mother wanted me to do. I didnt even consider it as a possibility while at school. I only got interested in the law profession as I got older and regret that I didnt take my mrthers advice but most teenagers know better than their elders.

I would say that in my experience they get more than enough support from County officials but that is not to say that they have always made the correct decision. I believe the shortage is down the general attitude of players and clubs towards them and authority in general and as you go...

Neither you nor anyone else can say that with any conviction or certainty as that is not what the secretary of Surrey told Palace that made them find me a seat. As I have said nobody knows if he would have carried out his threat but knowing how much he loathed the Palace hierarchy I am sure...

Thank you Thunder Bolt sometimes I am serious and the one about Palace is 100% serious but even I dont know what the outcome would have been had they not found me a seat.

That is why my mum wanted me to either go into politics and become an MP or be a barrister.. Before getting diagnosed with mouth cancer in 1994 I considered studying to become a solicitor but then thought who would give a 58 year old, which I would have been when I qualified, a job when...

How many times I wasnt an Old Duffer then. In actual fact on disciplinary cases I was usually against the majority as they believed everything as described by a ref and I didnt I said that they were as likely as anybody to make a mistake. This upset a lot of the older members that I doubted...

My mother wanted me to be an MP..

I wasnt an old boy then plus Les Smith knew they would find me, a Surrey FA official , a ticket. This carried more threat as it was played in Surrey so there would have been no argument and although the police control most of football they would have had no say over the matter other than to...

I dont know and totally immaterial as to what may have happened as obviously any club even Man Utd if pushed to the extreme would have done what Palace did and found a seat so it is unlikely to be tested and nobody is in a position to say what would have happened as I would expect that Les Smith...

Rules are rules and the pass said on it that it gives guaranteed admittance to any game under the jurisdiction of the English FA. A friend of mine used his to get into the Brighton v Walton cup replay and had no problem as BHA gave him a seat. As I am lead to believe they did for many...

I dont know and we never found out but I do know that he hated the Palace hierarchy for their superior attitude.so anything was possible. No need for Palace to get stroppy as they gave me a ticket right up in the corner of their stand and I couldnt see that much anyway so they couldnt have...

I do not think that it bares any resemblance to me at all but the insinuation and timing of your post made it obvious who you was getting at.

I would use any ruse to get into a Brighton game that had sold out. Some of the members used to use theirs to go Chelsea Spurs or whatever team they wanted to watch.

Assuming that was a knock at me I do not consider myself anything other than a life long supporter who has followed the club through good times and bad during my 70 years of support.

It was an all ticket match and I phoned to ensure that I would get in being a Brighton supporter who had not got a ticket. All I wanted to do was get in to see the game.
