Tottenham's Gordon Durie was yesterday cleared on appeal of the charge
that he feigned injury after being headbutted in a match against Coventry.
He was to have served a three match ban, which has now been lifted.

I hope that this will stop opposing supporters branding him a cheat, but I
doubt it somehow.

I don't think that would be fair either. If, for example, Italy played
Holland, Germany, Belgium and Rumania this year, they probably would get
less points than (still for example) Austria, who played Malta, San Marino,
Liechtenstein and Faroer this year. Yet Italy is clearly a better team than
Austria!

Ipswich Town 1 (Kiwomya) Aston Villa 0.

By no means a classic (ok, it was crap), but Town shaded it from a corner
when Dozzell headed powerfully towards goal. It looked like it was going in
anyway, but Chris Kiwomya (for a change) added the final nod to elude
Nigel Spink. Villa looked marginally the better side in the first half, but
Ipswich weathered the storm (what there was of it) and defended adequately
in the second half. Villa's best chance came when Dean Saunders ran straight
through the Town defence, putting himself in a similar position to the one he
scored from in the first match, but his weak shot ended up safe in Clive Bakers
capable hands.

All in all, a pretty poor performance by both sides, but who cares when you're
in the quarter-final if the League Cup! Bring on the Owls!

I have to say the most shameful incidence of rivarly that I have ever
experienced was when I was on the terraces in the away end of old
trafford for Derby against Manchester United and details of the Hillsborough
disaster were coming through (admittedly the deaths had not been
announced.) but to hear those morons cheer and then find out what was
happening was really chilling.

BTW,just my two penneth on the East Midlands rivarly debate Garry,I am
the opposite to you..and my opinion is that Derby are rivals to
Forest..leicester are rather insignificant (though at the moment they
seem to have appropriated Derbys ex strike force).But I think th  me)
tend to have been brought up to dislike Notts Forest and all they
stand for (i.e lots of success whilst Derby declined) don't you
think jealousy is a major cause of rivarly ??? I do !!!!

Dear Soccerers,

In this contest-rich time, there should be some
room left for an award for the world's best
referee. 

I know: for most of the net it is easier to have
a price for the world's worst referee, but I do
not want to be the initiator of that.

Any ideas?

LET US GET ONE THING STRAIGHT, RIGHT NOW BEFORE THIS NONSENESE GOES ANY
FURTHER.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD REFEREE (GASP!!)

AWARDS FOR REFS....

I think you should stop shouting. :-) 

Seriously, please turn off your caps lock.  It's harder to read
messages that are in all capitals.

As for your ideas, personally, I like the idea of stop time when the
ball goes out of bounds, feeling that doing so would amost completely 
eliminate time wasting tactics.  Marcus Lindroos among others has
previously brought up that very idea.

As for immediately stopping the clock when an injury occurs, in 
theory it's a good idea, but considering all the Academy Award
nominees for diving we see in the professional game, I think there'd
also have to be some type of -enforced- penalty for faking an injury.
This probably couldn't be done without affecting play on the field,
so would probably be a bad idea.  Perhaps if a player is injured, 
play can be stopped as soon as his team gains possession, and play
could be restarted with a throw-in from the closest touch line. 

In any case, while I'm not against the concept of changing rules,
I -am- against rule changes that affect the flow of the game.  Any
changes made should be for the sake of combating negative tactics,
such as time wasting, and not for the sake of change itself.

   Atack :    Arthur Pewty (Monty Python, Britain)
              Marco Van Basten (AC Milan, Holland)

   Coach : Jim van Rental (Hertz, Britain)

Actually this "solution" is part of the problem.  About 5 years ago (maybe)
students at the high schools began paying fees for additional activites. 
This included everything from field trips to non-revenue sports.  This 
year the state Supreme court rule that the "pay as you go" policy was 
discrtiminatory to poorer kids.  The result was that if you asked for a 
waiver based on need then the school had to grant it.  It got a bit out of
hand, because everyone was getting waivers.

Utah is notorius for underfunding the schools.  We are always in the bottom
few states in $/student spent and top few states in #kids/class.  

One bright spot for soccer in all of this mess is that there are alot of
independent club teams for kids.  My men's squad was embarrassed by a U17 
club that ran circle around most of our 30+ players.

Considering the game was an important World Cup game, it's hard to
forget (esp if you're English). But he made up for this shameful display
with a quality second. Wonder what would have happened if the first goal
was disallowed and he got a yellow/red card he deserved instead?

BTW, does anyone know whether or not the current owner(s) of the Vancouver
team is/are the same as that of the former-NASL Whitecaps? The reason I 
ask is perhaps a good bilingual name for the new Montreal team would be the
Manic, from the old NASL days, that is if Molson-O'Keefe don't have the
rights to it anymore.

Also, Marcus once mentioned in a post a while back that the name "Manic"
didn't mean anything. Well, the name is inspired from the name of a series
of hydro-electric dams on the Manicouagan river which enters the St-Laurent
at Baie Comeau, on Quebec's North Shore. Unless, of course, the former
owners wanted to associate "mania" with Montreal... ;-)
