420Hashish Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 Aw hell no they didn't! Now King Power Stadium will look like the rest of the stadiums. What's unique about that?
davieG Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 It wont be long before the PL adopts more of the UEFA match rules that strangle individuality to satisfy the advertisers who's money goes to the players, in transfer fees and the pay for UEFA Executives. UEFA's secret strap-line - **** the Fans (for all their worth)
The whole world smiles Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 Haha People will literally get upset about anything these days... Who cares what the pitch design looks like it's the football that's played on it that matters.

It's not the pitch designs themselves it's their need to even outlaw it and to continually interfere with the game to justify their existence and to pander to advertisers. It wasn't a problem that needed ruling on. I guarantee that if a EUFA Europa or Champions League advertiser had come up with it to they would be falling over themselves to accept it.
Vacamion Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 We should welcome this, it makes it easier for linos to get their offside calls right.

dmayne7 Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 This was announced at the back end of last season. Remember them pointing out that why our designs got more elaborate

We've had perfectly horizontal lines before, Wouldn't stop the officials ****ing up, Maybe decrease it slightly at best. The vardy goal against Bournemouth still would've probably been wrongly rulled out with normal lines

MrSpaM Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 This isn't being done to help referee decisions, they've basically got no option but to enforce this because referees are increasingly using it as a stupid excuse to pass the blame

Jattdogg Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 Maybe they should ban advertisement boards which are distracting or those god awful hideous purple sponsor badges on our kit. Heck they should ban huddersfield/newcastle/stoke/southampton/brighton/westbrom home kits for being absolutely dog shite (could toss in a few others as well). Orrr maybe they should work on having better refs with better tech. Watch in a few years time grass sponsors will be allowed so long as prem league/Fa get their cut.

Our groundsmen should try to get away with making the lines slightly askew in some places to help out with those Jamie Vardy runs behind the back line.
Blue Ed Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 It will be interesting to see what he tries to get away with on the first game

Clever Fox Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 Hasn't straight white lines caused enough of problems in Football already.

420Hashish Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 Love that the groundsmen made a p3n1s on the pitch ground and sent the message **** YOU to the FA.
