each ref (you'll understand that we use two refs per game, no linesmen...is 
that NCAA rules?). This is likely to go up next season, just like everything
else does! :-)

Other than the $90, the refs are responsible for their uniforms...
BTW, if a team fails to show up, it has to pay the refs $90! But if a game
does take place, each team pays just one of the two refs...the refs never
pay if they don't show up! It seems like they are immune to the rules while
----------------------

The two man system is in use by college and high school IFF a three man crew 
cannot be found. (Including the use of club liensman) The USSF only 
recognizes a three man system (called DSC - Diagonal System of Control). As 
we all know, however, we must make do. Often, the referee will run with one 
linesman as opposed to the two man system, which can create quite a bit of 
havoc.

In some areas, where assigning is organized, the refs do IN FACT pay a 
penalty for not showing up. Usually, the assigning body receives the monies 
and docks the referees that failed to show up. Everyone else gets paid for 
their efforts.

Its the hallmark of a great team to play their best soccer and be 
most threatening when everyone tires i nthe last minutes of a game.

Arsenal are perceived to score many last minute winners because
their football style is so defensive in the first 85 minutes and
it is always low scoring prior to the end.

>2 Are Arsenal really the most boring team in the Universe ?
>  How can a team which has over the past few seasons reguarly outscored
>  other teams in the football league be classed as boring.

Yes, they are boring. They play dull football, or really they USED TO
play dull football and once a reputation has begun it is stuck there
indefinitely. It doesnt mind how attacking they are you can never get rid
of a reputation like Arsenal has. Or, similarly, how Liverpool play
magnificent football, and are invincible.

West Germany outscore and defeat everyone too, but their football is
still rather defensive.

Unfortunately winning is not enough for most fans (except Arsenals)
they would prefer to win with STYLE and not grind opponents down.
But dont be ashamed, lots of great clubs ground their way to success
Leeds for one !!

Certainly true, the first part. All Liverpool and Man Utd fans are
brain washed from birth to hate Arsenal (I hate Arsenal) for absolutely
no rational reason. Of course the North-South divide has a lot to do with
it but jealousy certainly is up there. 

The name is not funny -- it exudes boringness and automatically brings
out the worst emotions in non Arsenal fans.

Sorry to be so truthful but there you are -- we hate Arsenal and Arsenal
fans (by connotation) because
1) the peer pressure
2) they keep knocking us out of the FA Cup in the semi-finals
3) they do win lots of things
4) they win in a very conservative way
5) they come from London and have stupid accents
6) Football fans can be such jerks when it comes down to the sport u love.

No offence meant, but I wouldnt care anyway.

PS If u got rid of Tony Adams I might be more tolerant.

This started out as a posting on Duncan Ferguson so what's bigotry got 
to do with it ?  Can't contain yourself.  It's nonsense to suggest all 
Dundonians (and people from all over Scotland) travel to Ibrox purely for 
a slice of bigotry, it's because they want to watch a good team in 
pleasant surroundings.  You don't have to live in Glasgow to support Rangers.
I come from Ayrshire but I don't want to support Kilmarnock or Ayr, I'd 
prefer to support Rangers. I know someone from Fife who feels the same....

Actually, we`re not talking about 6 feet in width, we're talking 6 or
7 or more yards. Although the requirement for internationals is 68 (or 70?)
yards, the requirement for World Cup final venues is 75 yards. And
yes, I would contend that for top-class play, those yards of width do
make an enormous difference. Funny you should mention Charlton, but
the game I found the width most constricting was last year's U.S. Cup
game between Ireland and Portugal in Boston, complete with Staunton's
rather easy-looking goal direct from a corner. I reckon the field was
somewhere around 66/68 yards in width, and the effect was that play
was continually bunched in centre-midfield. As far as Boston (ie
Foxboro) goes, this situation will be rectified prior to '94 by the
rebuilding of the concrete walls around the corners of the field to
allow a correct width pitch.

I second the motion. I don't mind First Division and F.A. Cup results and
some discussion on U.K. soccer in general but, the bagging between rival
U.K. clubs gets a little boring.

No, I suggest you go and form your own group -
rec.sport.lets.bore.the.arse.off.people.talking.about.Albanian.
second.division.results.

Football (not soccer!!!) is a game of passion and it incites passion
amongst it's supporters. Most of the people you see flaming each other
here will quite happily sit down with the same people they flame and
talk seriously about football, but sometimes it's fun to wind people
up about their team - that's part of being a football fan. We can be
intellectual about it, but you've got to have a laugh too, haven't
you?

Regards

Dave
