That sounds very fair: "bring on two players with fresh legs there lads, we wouldn't want your dirty play to disadvantage ya..."

Any organised game where this is allowed to happen cannot be taken seriously IMO. You get two players sent off in normal time and having used all your subs, get your numbers back up to 15 with two pairs of fresh legs. That's the last time I ever tune into a game of football again, joke.

Anyone worked out yet how to get an audio feed with just the commentary and without the swarm of angry bees?

The bees may yet get banned from matches, but I doubt it:

It's been the rule for a long time now, it's extra time instead of a replay so it's considered a new 10 minute each way game.

Wexford should have tried to play a bit when playing against 14 and 13 men. As for the 'dirty play', neither of them should have been sending offs. First one was a wexford player blocking his man off the ball, then diving when he ran in to him ffs!

Ever wondered how much caffeine it would take to kill you? This site will tell you...

Apparently it would take 127 shots of espresso to kill me. :pac:

Hope you won them in a competition.

Ha ha no I actually paid for them a few months ago- a birthday present for my daughter who loves them. We are not going now (thank god).

The Leeds shirt is already ordered though. Luckily my brother in law is a Leeds fan(I taught her well) so I don't have to worry about that end of things. :pac:
