They can't whack you across a naked arse for coming last by a 16 stone PE teacher. Softees!!

I guess it depends on why you pay to watch football, for me first and foremost is entertainment which more often than not results in winning, I judge a game by how many times I get out of my seat seeing excellent play. Sitting there wondering if someone has scored or being red instead of yellow carded drives me mad. Losing a couple of million does nothing for me as for European comps how many teams does that involve these days even when it does many think it's those rich six that seem to get the advantage most of the time.

They're continually talking about keeping the game flowing like the none flagging of offsides but the biggest time wasters are VAR and Refs with their nitpicking set ups of freekicks even stopping players taking quick ones when in sight if goal the complete farce of substitutions. Then there's the lack of consistency and ignoring many details of the laws if the game. Such as players preventing freekicks being taken quickly, obstruction by players not in control of the ball particularly with ensuring a goalkick, added time many others.

That's not the main bone of contention though the procedure to produce a few less mistakes is an enjoyment sucking monster. Many of the improvements that have been made to the laws have seemingly made it worse for the fans, players and managers who are often puzzled by the decisions that have taken minutes to conclude.

Do they still have PE lessons like this?

In some foreign league as our franchise is sold to some Arab billionaire.

Not new or leading edge then

Civil Engineering Discoveries · Follow · Did you know: The research vessel RV Flip is the only vessel in the world capable of shifting from horizontal to vertical position in the middle of the ocean. Flip is not a small ship, it is about 108 meters long and weighs 700 tons Engineers designed it to be able to move to a vertical position with 90 degrees straight, so that the front of the ship at the top is 17 meters high (i.e. a 5-storey building high) while at the bottom is submerged 91 meters long, i.e. that most of the ship is submerged underwater. Which helps the ship's stability and resistance to waves, the transformation process takes about 30 minutes, in which the seawater is pumped into huge tanks in the back of the ship, which makes it sink into the water to become the ship in a vertical position, and this ship is considered one of the most important ships in the field of scientific research of seas and oceans..

It was always a goal for me to play in the Premier League, and I’m happy that this dream has come true. “Everybody watches the Premier League. I think it’s the best league in the world. Leicester City is a new experience and new challenge for me.” The rest is history!

Congratulations Ric here's to the next 6 and beyond.

Ooh Kante

This player Kanté, he was running so hard that I thought he must have a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts. He never stopped running in training. I had to tell him, “Hey, N’Golo, slow down. Slow down. Don’t run after the ball every time, okay?” He says to me, “Yes, boss. Yes. Okay.” Ten seconds later, I look over and he’s running again. I tell him, “One day, I’m going to see you cross the ball, and then finish the cross with a header yourself.”

Sweech 97 · Follow · Claudio Ranieri: "I remember my first meeting with the chairman when I arrived at Leicester City. He sat down with me and said, “Claudio, this is a very important year for the club. It is very important for us to stay in the Premier League. We have to stay safe.” My reply was, “Okay, sure. We’ll work hard on the training ground and try to achieve this.” Forty points. That was the goal. That was the total we needed to stay in the first division, to give our fans another season of Premier League football. Perhaps you have heard their names now. Players who were considered too small or too slow for other big clubs. N’Golo Kanté. Jamie Vardy. Wes Morgan. Danny Drink water. Riyad Mahrez. When I arrived my first day of training and I saw the quality of these players, I knew how good they could be. Well, I knew we had a chance to survive in the Premier League.

There are too many keys to name in this incredible season. Jamie Vardy, for example. This is not a footballer. This is a fantastic horse. He has a need to be free out there on the pitch. I say to him, “You are free to move however you want, but you must help us when we lose the ball. That’s all I ask of you. If you start to press the opposition, all of your teammates will follow you.” Before we played our first match of the season, I told the players, “I want you to play for your teammates. We are a little team, so we have to fight with all our heart, with all our soul. I don’t care the name of the opponent. All I want is for you to fight. If they are better than us, Okay, congratulations. But they have to show us they are better. There was a fantastic electricity in Leicester from the very first day. It starts from the chairman and goes to the players, the staff, the fans. It was unbelievable what I felt. In the King Power Stadium, there was a terrific energy. Do the fans sing only when we have the ball? Oh, no, no, no. When we are under pressure, the fans understand our pain and they sing their hearts out. They understand the complexity of the game, and when the players are suffering. They are very, very close to us. The Players' Tribune We Do Not Dream Claudio Ranieri Claudio Ranieri Legend Apr 6, 2016 I remember my first meeting with the chairman when I arrived at Leicester City this summer. He sat down with me and said, “Claudio, this is a very important year for the club. It is very important for us to stay in the Premier League. We have to stay safe.” My reply was, “Okay, sure. We’ll work hard on the training ground and try to achieve this.” Forty points. That was the goal. That was the total we needed to stay in the first division, to give our fans another season of Premier League football. Back then, I did not dream that I would open the paper on April 4 and see Leicester City at the top of the table with 69 points. Last year on this same day, the club was at the bottom of the table. Unbelievable. I am 64 years old, so I do not go out much. My wife has been with me for 40 years, so on my off days, I try to stay close to her. We go out to the lake by our house or maybe if we are feeling adventurous we watch a movie. But lately, I have indeed been hearing the noise from all over the world. It is impossible to ignore. I have heard we even have some new supporters in America following us. To you, I say: Welcome to the club. We are happy to have you. I want you to love the way we play football, and I want you to love my players, because their journey is unbelievable. Perhaps you have heard their names now. Players who were considered too small or too slow for other big clubs. N’Golo Kanté. Jamie Vardy. Wes Morgan. Danny Drink water. Riyad Mahrez.

Do the fans sing only when we have the ball? Oh, no, no, no. When we are under pressure, the fans understand our pain and they sing their hearts out. They understand the complexity of the game, and when the players are suffering. They are very, very close to us. We started the season very well. But our goal, I repeat, was to save the club from relegation. The first nine games, we were winning, but we were giving up many goals. We had to score two or three goals to win every game. It concerned me very much. Before every game, I said, “Come on boys, come on. Clean sheet today.” No clean sheet. I tried every motivation. So finally, before the game against Crystal Palace, I said, “Come on boys, come on. I offer you a pizza if you get a clean sheet.” Of course, my players made a clean sheet against Crystal Palace. One-nil. So I stood by our deal and took my players to Peter Pizzeria in Leicester City Square. But I had a surprise for them when we got there. I said, “You have to work for everything. You work for your pizza, too. We will make our own.” So we went into the kitchen with the dough and the cheese and the sauce. We tossed our own pies. It was very good, too. I enjoyed many slices. What can I say? I’m an Italian man. I love my pizza and my pasta. Now, we make a lot of clean sheets. A dozen clean sheets after the pizza, in fact. I think this is no coincidence. We have six games remaining, and we must continue fighting with our heart and our soul. This is a small club that is showing the world what can be achieved through spirit and determination. Twenty-six players. Twenty-six different brains. But one heart. Just a few years ago, many of my players were in the lower leagues. Vardy was working in a factory. Kanté was in the third tier of the French league. Mahrez was in the French fourth division. Now, we are fighting for a title. The Leicester fans I meet in the street tell me they are dreaming. But I say to them, “Okay, you dream for us. We do not dream. We simply work hard.” No matter what happens to end this season, I think our story is important for all football fans around the world. It gives hope to all the young players out there who have been told they are not good enough. They can say to themselves, “How do I arrive at the top level? If Vardy can do this, if Kanté can do this, maybe I can too.” What do you need to arrive? A big name? No. A big contract? No. You just need to keep an open mind, an open heart, a full battery, and run free. Who knows, maybe at the end of the season, we will have two pizza parties. Players Tribune

Just seen on tv programme when Celtic became the 1st British team to win the European Cup in 1967 all their team came from 30 miles of Glasgow.

I seem to remember Koi or Goldfish. I think it had a touch of class about it which was alien to most people now internally it's just some poorly maintained run of the mill modernist set up..

These media muffs spreading gossip and speculation record points do us no favours when we end up with 6 everyone will be convinced we've cheated. They're already thinking that with the mis representation of us making the EFL and EPl follow their own rules.

Leicester City points deduction to be fast-tracked after latest – Kieran Maguire Kieran Maguire Kieran Maguire Sat 1 June 2024 11:38, UK Leicester City’s points deduction case will be fast-tracked once the Premier League transfers shares from last season’s relegated sides to the promoted clubs. That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that the Premier League will want to process Leicester’s case as quickly as possible to provide clarity before the start of the 2024-25 campaign. The Foxes were charged with a breach of the Profit and Sustainability Rules in their 2022-23 accounts back in April. The Championship winners posted losses of £89.7million in 2022-23 – their final year in the Premier League. According to The Telegraph, Leicester could now face a record-breaking deduction of 15 points if they are found guilty of their breach. Maguire believes progress will be made on the case once the Premier League has transferred shares to the promoted clubs. Premier League to fast-track Leicester points deduction this summer “First of all, Leicester used the rules well to avoid any sanctions during the season,” Maguire told Football Insider’s Sean Fisher. “They argued they were not an EFL club or a Premier League club for the three years leading to the 30th of June 2023. Join the Football Insider WhatsApp channel to get all our exclusives and the breaking transfer news FIRST. “But it was a case of kicking the can down the road as opposed to making the problem go away. “It’s now up to the Premier League to sort this quickly. Leicester “They will now go through the formal process of transferring the shares in the Premier League from Sheffield United, Luton and Burnley to Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich. “Once that is done, I expect to see a rapid response from the Premier League, who will presumably want this sorted out as quickly as they can over the summer.“
