This kit statement, and resolution, from non league South Shields borders on insanity...

All this stems from a few clowns bleating on social media that they wouldn't be able to wear the same kit as "the lads". The only difference is a breathable panel down the sides...

It's going to be very funny when they discover that technical kits are all sized on an unforgiving athletic fit, while replica kits are a lot more "generous"

The irony that a 'breathable' panel will prevent most of them being able to breathe out!

England fans, next time you think you're rubbish at penalties, consider the plight of Ayrshire's finest. We lost another one on Saturday, so this lovely table was produced to (quite rightly) laugh at us...

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Any statistic like that with only a handful of samples is bound to throw up anomalies, like Spartans 33% success rate, but it's from only 6 samples.

Oh.


Just for the record, mainly stutter run-ups, or mainly blasters?

Oh, I'm not, we're just rubbish at a shootout for some reason. Don't stutter, or belt it, we're just unlucky.

There was an instance in 1982 where Germany and Austria played their final game knowing the result of the other one, and knowing that a small win for Germany would put both teams through - it ended 1-0 to Germany with neither team apparently trying to score after Germany got that goal.

It was only after that FIFA instigated the rule that both of the final games in any group are played simultaneously.

Grenadian players caught on to the Barbadians' plan, and realised that they would advance in the tournament by scoring a goal in either net, since they would still qualify for the finals with a one-goal loss. This saw normal time finish in a highly unusual manner, with Grenada trying to score a goal in (and Barbados trying to defend) both nets. For the next three minutes, Barbadian players successfully defended both sides.

And/or do not allow managers or coaches on the pitch to use them as opportunities to change tactics. Water could easily be brought on while the players stand in groups on the pitch.

And 3 mins is too long. 30seconds is plenty of time to have a drink.
Just not enough time for a commercial break.

The 3 minutes is there to allow body temperatures to normalise.

Messi didn't need that. He just strolled around through 99% of the games.

Is there any scientific research behind that.
