One of my most vivid memories of my own playing days was when, on a blustery Sunday morning in Fairview Park, the dad of the bloke I was marking unleashed his dog on me after I clobbered his son. The beast savaged me, but the home fans lapped it up. Matches must last a minimum of 96 hours and be followed by another one straight away. Viewers must be able to tune in at all times, and alter proceedings if they wish. Porn, that s what.
Football has to reach that level quick.
Tonight marks the beginning of the descent.
