Everton, you are indeed correct most clubs have now taken to employing their own staff inside the ground. But any problems are just thrown out of the stadium for the taxpayer to pick up. Plus of course there is the getting to the ground and away from it!

As for the Arsenal/Chelsea or any of the top clubs issue. They are all only in their position due to money. Unless theyve built themselves up on homegrown talent?

Andy,

I don't think I said anything about policing football?? But I will agree that it is police resources, money etc that would be much better deployed/spent in other areas.

As for Everton being .... 'They are all only in their position due to money. '

We haven't got any........most of the Rooney fee was used to stave off the club's enormous debt!!

Which bit of players cheating as apposed to gamesmanship, money ruling which team is in and which aint, the lack of respect for the man in the middle, how fickle the players are, and the supporters are for that matter when you look at say Rooney. The bad attitudes that have spilt out from the field of play to everyday life and the knock on effect of that onto the youth of today, is not about the game? Theres no need to be so condescending either, or is that the footballer coming out in you? i didnt realise that you are allways right and have took the mantle of DSC website Enforcer. Find a picture for that.

you still seem to be confusing sportsmanship with gamesmanship .... gamesmanship is your ability to play the game ... sportsmanship is how you play it ....

the other stuff ie policing, attitudes, money is all politics and nothing to do with "the game" ...

I took issue at you belittling a highly skillful sport, one which takes far more talen than rugby toplay successfully .....

If you find that condescending, then so be it ....

Just watched the news.......that player from southampton sent off....sportsmanship? The manager from Chelsea.....gamesmanship?

Can we go a little light hearted here? Everytime i respond on here, i cant help chuckling at the thought of you running around in your shorts that used to fit you, eating a doughnut........
