Encroachment should've been higher priority than goal line tech, simply due to the volume of occurrences. It's a no brainer, its cheap, effective and takes no time at all. Fucking FA.

Could you trust Phil Dowd with the vanishing spray though? He'll probably think it's whipped cream and eat it.

West Ham's mens is also coached by a dick. Good move for consistency's sake.

I can't see any reason to not use the shaving foam, it's a very easy way to stop any cheating whether you believe the problem is rife or not

IT'S ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF CHEATING THEREFORE IT'S A-OK.

- The FA.

The Spurs fans sing it with love. Opposition fans sing it with hatred. There IS a difference.

"Some Jewish and non-Jewish fans of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. adopted "Yid" (or "Yiddo") as a nickname and "Yiddo, Yiddo!" as a battle cry and often identify themselves as "Yid Army". While such usage remains controversial, for the overwhelming majority of Tottenham supporters, it is used with pride. Some Jewish Tottenham supporters use it with a political consciousness of the club as a bastion against racism and antisemitism. Others use it simply because many of the fans and owners of the club are Jews. However, the name was first given to the supporters as an insult, due to the large Jewish following at the club. This following started in the 1890s and 1900s when the club was the team of choice for "East-enders" - including large numbers of Jewish immigrants - who could easily get cheap buses and trams to Tottenham, heading north along the road later designated the A10. East-end Jews have mostly moved to the north and east London suburbs and Herts and Essex, but support for Tottenham Hotspur continues to run in families. For visiting teams' supporters the Jewish connection continues to be bolstered by the large numbers of - easily identifiable - Hassidic Orthodox Jews living in South Tottenham and Stamford Hill; but in practice there is no evidence of Hassidic Jews attending football matches. Nevertheless, you do not have to be Hassidic to be Jewish, and Spurs still has a strong Jewish fanbase."

"Supporters of the English football club Tottenham Hotspur F.C. adopted the nickname "Yid" (or "Yiddo") and often identify as "Yid Army" - as a direct response to opposition fans originally using the word against them as a form of taunting and abuse. "Yid" is used as a badge of pride by the supporters of Tottenham Hotspur F.C., both those that are Jewish and non-Jewish."

Even though I'm not Jewish I would get the abuse from opposition fans at certain grounds. Lazio fans attacked the Spurs fans last year in racist attacks and those fans weren't even Jewish! I'd say the "claiming back" the term is similar to "queer" and "gay" being claimed by the homosexual community (and "friends of").
