Currently anyone into football should easily be able to find out how to access the site.  Do you really want a 100,000 members writing in the forum when 90% of them don't know how the off side rule works?


Or worse still, people who don't know that football doesn't actually have rules, it has Laws. As in FIFA Laws of the Game.  (Law 11 - Offside)

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

ah the moral high ground, always a frosty and slippery place to be

and always one of us round to give a wee shove to help gravity along , eh Jaq

(I'd have used the wrong word too Betters- but luckily either haven't done so - yet, or haven't been sprung)

It was a reflex, it's the referee training. I'd typed it before I realised what I was doing. Have pity on me, please. With the blindness, the unmarried parents and the scorn of the footballing public, I've got a lot to cope with.

Perhaps, I got my winky's and smiley's in the wrong order , Jaq

I was trying to say that if anyone makes an error on this board it'll probably be picked up on, especially when they criticise others and make an error in the process

and i reckon that's fair enough too (on a different day, I'd have probably done the same myself, if I'd remembered the "Laws/rules" thing)

apologies Jaq, if i was unclear ( i did feel a small bit sorry for betters - which is probably where it got confusing)

No apology required, Sir. After a post like mine, I expected a bit of feedback!! Would have been no fun otherwise. 

Anyway, back on topic. Well done YF. 4th best site this year, next year - world domination.
