Same here wakey.... First time in yeeeears I've not had a season ticket, and I haven't missed it one bit!!! I've totally lost my appetite for the game I once loved, I only watch Stoke (on TV) now, and they aren't actually helping the cause right now!!! I’ve been to 7 games this season mate so far. One of the reasons for going is it suddenly came over me as approaching 60 I can’t go when I’m dead 😬daft really but like you I watch most on tv and god it’s been depressing. When you look back at how football was I wished it hadn’t changed for the worse. I only watch stoke I don’t watch any other football. Surly Premier League football was never as shit when we were there.... Was it??? It's changed so much in the time we've been out of it, it's tedious now!!! I watch Stoke, and I like watching the early rounds of the FA Cup, with the lower leagues, and non-league teams in it.... As soon as the big boys come along, I lose interest!!!

With the way officials target Stoke, we are going to need a bloody skip instead of a bin. They don't though Wolves fans will say the same, Arsenal fans foetc. Why on earth would the single out Stoke?

No mate it wasn’t as bad cos we were in it 😃. It is so tedious as you say but as soon as Chelsea came with their millions that’s when it changed for the worse. Fa cup spoilt also mate over the years but it is still good to see the non league teams giving it ago.

Pearson if he's sill here next season and the one after and the one after that and I fear he is, can take out a subscription for his favourite seat and have hot tea and biscuits served about 6-8 times per game, Mmaee, with his own if proviso, will have step up slightly and do something a little naughty a few times that he may have a seat as far away from Pearson as possible, and will expect his Halwa Chebakia with honey, and Iversen will ask for a bit of gammeldansk smuggled into his wienerbrød, and you can imagine the rest.

FA cup wasn't helped with the Wembley semis and the cup final Saturday being taken away but even lower league sides cared less and less re it over the years ..taking the League Cup away for me would certainly help it have a bit of a resurgence as more of a hindrance these days as line ups and crowds show Is no substitute for beating a top side in the Premium front of a full house , a win v Chester or Hartlepool in front of 18,k hardly compares

The main factor for the fa cup being low on priorities is the premier league.

Wembley semis take the whole magic of getting to Wembley away This is my theory Jesus. When we got to the final in 2011 me and my lads went to the semi and one of the best days in our footballing life we wanted to get tickets for the final but as we weren’t season ticket holders that year couldn’t get any tickets and we were gutted. I’ve been a stoke fan since 74 so missed the 72 final. In the fa cup finals they give the middle sections around Wembley to corporate people who don’t probably watch football and life long fans like myself couldn’t get see such a great day. For me and my boys at least we go to Wembley in the semis.

I look forward to the fights that will break out on the sideline, as arguments continue off the field.
Putting them in an actual bin might not be such a bad idea..

Another example of fixing something that isn’t broken. Var has ruined the game enough. Stop fucking messing with it.

Sin bin for tactical fouls. That's asking for controversy.

Bearing in mind that the opposition having a player sent off usually guarantees that we don't score (even when we are generally more capable of it than we are at the moment) and the game is killed as a contest I can't see how this adds anything to the game. Just get the decisions right within the rules as they are!
Although I suppose a bin full of twats might be a crowd puller...

All I want to know is, what happens if a goalkeeper gets a spell in the sin bin? If they've got that worked out, then fine. Give it a whirl. But unless someone at the FA can explain how that will work, then they can fuck off. Well, they can fuck off with this ridiculous idea anyway.
(Yes, I know I've said this before).

Or how many from the same team can be off at the same time? In principle it may reduce the ridiculous amount of back chat and crowding around the referee- like all punishments needs to be consistent
