Posted February 7, 200817 yr long overdue IMO. as I've said many times, those extra subs should have some stipulations to help youth development, but at least they'll be there.
February 7, 200817 yr Thats nothing g4! When the yanks get a proper hold on our game,we'll have roll on subs just for set pieces!! Richard Scudamore run for your life!!! GUILTY!!
February 7, 200817 yr Author well 7 subs is a good idea IMO, am waiting for more details about the other thing- so far it sounds not only like the start of a very slippery path as you guys have said, but also the immediate idea sounds awful. even if you discount the fans (which clearly the premier league show contempt towards) it's a stupid idea. fingers crossed we'll look back at this as a near miss in the future.
February 7, 200817 yr 7 Subs is an excellent idea, long overdue in my opinion. I don't think we should raise the amount of players you can bring on from 3 though - but having the choice from 7 is far better.
February 7, 200817 yr Amusing to see Daniel Levy trying to take the credit for it when it has been in place across Europe for donkeys and I recall Vialli (or was it Gullit... pretty sure it was Vialli) years ago wondering why the ENglish game has not adopted it.
February 8, 200817 yr Are there going to be any restrictions on the 7 subs? There was talk at one stage that the extra two spots were going to be reserved for under-21 players or something like that (which would be a good idea IMO).
February 8, 200817 yr i think they should have said it was 7 subs with a proviso that 2 are under 21. dont scotland have a rule that 2 subs have to be eligible for the scottish under 21`s?
February 8, 200817 yr Are there going to be any restrictions on the 7 subs? Yes, you can't have eight.
