2 months in prison FFS? They wouldn't jail a shoplifter or a smack ridden burglar/car radio thief for 2 months for crying outloud... For those with smoke bombs, I'd think long and hard about bringing them to Alty games again after this precedent has been set, the six year banning order is also excessive.Football seems to have a different set of laws to main stream society. Typical OTT headline by the BBC.

Break the rules pay the price no excuse really why take a grenade to a match?????
-
The use of the word grenade is dubious for starters.I understand the implications of rule breaking, but this is a practise that takes place at FIFA and UEFA endorsed first class stadia across the world. It's the two months in prison and 6 year banning order that are ridiculous.He should have been dealt with, but do we really need a much needed and expensive to maintain prison place occupied by someone who brought somthing from a joke shop?

Working the Olympic matces at Old Trafford the amount of people that are amazed its
an arrestable offence to drink in view of the pitch..........I know what your saying

This is another beef of mine, how come people can drink to excess at soccer aid in their seats at old Trafford , yet can't at some daft Olympic women's game? It's very strange how these decisions are made.Surely it's got to be all or nothing.If people attended soccer aid them returned to watch the Doris's a month later it's not a surprise they are confused!

Soccer aid was not a match sanctioned by Fifa or the Fa so rules don't apply

Yes when you watch the games at Old Trafford look to where the players are sitting and you will see the FIFA logo sign
on the right and its been put there for the Olympics. All signs at Old Trafford have been covered up with the London 2012 logo
even the Nike tick in the East stand has been painted out.

As an aside Pete, are mens Olympic Football matches "daft" as well?

A football World Cup in England would be far bigger than some toffs rowing a boat down in Eton/some birds rolling around London Docklands on a mat/some horse dressed up with eye liner....this bloke's head is so big I can't comment on it.....

The Beautiful Game is football, the World Cup semi-final in 1990 beats anything on show at the moment.

Yes of course they are, olympic football is totally pointless.It would hold more sway if it was made up of teams of semi pro players.Plus there is no Great British football association, it's bad enough having welsh clubs taking places in our football league and our cup competitions.

mens footy has no place at the limpids. the limpids are basically a catch-all bucket for activities that don't have any other coverage or meaningful world championships.
footy, tennis,cycling, boxing - all can be stripped out of the bloated limpids.
i saw on the bbc that the games have been going on for 6 days now, how come it feels more like 36? :'(

This is undoubtedly designed to ensure that the poor spectators drink plenty of Coca Cola to wash down their McDonalds crapburgers.

You aren't half a miserable lot. Who cares about all this crap, it's just fun, people are enjoying it. I like Olympic football, personally.

The Olympics were great when I was younger. Now they're just another overblown corporate money making exercise.

Professional sportsmen should be banned from taking part in the olympics
-
Professional sportsmen should be banned from taking part in the olympics
I wouldn't go quite as far as that. After all, athletes are professional these days, going to these Diamond League meets and so on. But the Olympics remains the pinnacle for them, so it still works.
In boxing too it works, because the Olympics is the highest prize for amateur boxing.
But football and tennis? f**k off. Third rate crap tournaments.
-
I couldn't give a toss about the mens football.....complete joke.
But I absolutly love the women's football and am glad it's in the olympics.....I don't think a trainer came on the pitch during the brazil match...compare that to the men rolling around trying to get someone sent off....I think the women represent the olympic spirit a little more.....I'm really hoping they can get a medal.
Hodgson out...hope powell in!!!
Saying all that with the corporate sponsorship the olympics have lost a lot credability....mcds and coke being responsible for a lot of world obesity.....and then paying a tiny portion of their profits as a pr / advertising project so they can make some more obese people......they should hold the olympics on some school playing field...if they can find one.....
-
The Olympics should be held in Greece every 4 years.Your are correct about coke and macdonals,i would not touch either of em.As for footie and tennis i dont agree with the mens footie being in the games nor tennis.It is refreshing watching the womens footie though,but some daft sports are getting included now,next games its kite surfing instead of windsurfing.

I know I have form for going on about Womens Football, to the intense irritation of some.
However just compare and contrast the male and female games in the Olympics. Womens games played in good spirit, virtually no diving about as if shot or plugged in to the national grid, no attempts to get opponents sent off, no histrionic complaints to Officials whilst the men are the opposite.
It does seem though that there may have been a (very welcome in my personal view) shift in the public perception of the Women's game (apologies to those of you who think they should be at home washing, ironing, cleaning and having/looking after children)
Just to remind you all, Altrincham have a Ladies Team, maybe they're not of the standard that we've seen in the Olympics but they try to play good football (sometimes on some indifferent pitches), they're committed, put in the effort and love playing (if only the same could be said of everyone who plays)...please support the ladies if you can
-
It needs to be all or nothing across the board- the football is like having a 4x100m relay team, but with 1 senior athlete making up the team, which would be ridiculous. It either needs to be a worthwhile senior tournament that the world's elite look forward to, or not be held at all.

Maybe Gary Warrington or ecky could provide another subsection on the forum for the ladies team.I think its fairly simple to do, people could be kept up to date on the latest news and discuss the Doris's latest game etc like we do on here.Giving the ladies team supporters somewhere to have discussions and pass information

If people want an all amateur, commercial free Olympics then go back to 1948. The whole "amateur" rule was a joke as soon as the iron curtain went up. As for the commercialism, its ironic that for all the tie ins and endorsements and partnerships, there are still no adverts on view by the field of play.
-
As you reach the Manchester end of Bridgewater Way, there is a huge unsightly advertising hoarding (it gives Trafford Council income so I suppose it's just about justified).
It currently features a picture of a raddled toothless old hag screaming her tits off. The caption reads "it's the come-on-come-on-come-on-er. We all make the Games." Yes - it's McBloodyDonald's.
Stupid sods.

Socrates in call for more to be done to promote ladies football shocker; "something simply must be done!!" said socrates yesterday to cheers of gathering doris's in alty town centre. ;D ;D ;D
as always the americans may provide an answer to increase awareness and popularity as with beach volleyball and their version of soccer;

I dont have a problem with any sports at the Olympics - at the end of the day no bugger is making it compulsory that you watch it. They televise Poker events on tv! What can be more boring than watching that sh*te.
What I do have a problem with is the likes of those Asian badminton players who so obviously attempt to throw matches in order to avoid playing better teams. Joe public from all over the world have spent serious money travelling to London to watch that sh*t... To the Asian woman who has quit the sport because she was disqualified with the "Goodbye badminton" quote I say to her. "Play the game in the spirit it was intended" you wont be missed.

Just seen the cover of Private Eye. Two armed cops outside the Olympic Stadium. One is saying "Just put down the can of Pepsi, and nobody will get hurt." Priceless !

there was ppl drinking lager (purchased in the ground) while watching first GB mens game!

The reason so many are baffled by the alcohol rule is that it technically only applies to matches sanctioned by the Football Association although it's usually extended to cover any competitive match in this country. Nowhere else in the world bans you from drinking alcohol on a football terrace and even in this country it's only football. Pints on the terrace are standard practice at Rugby League matches

Absolutely loving the Olympics. Great stadia, fantastic outdoor scenery, brilliant team GB kits, and some awesome performances, mo farah being my fab.

Probably a sop to the SNP to try and keep the union! ;)
Was disgusted that the Welsh members of Team GB football refused to sing the National Anthem as it was the "English" one. Don't know why they
bothered to play at all. If they had " Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau " as well as "God Save the Queen" they wouldn't have known the words to either! ;)
And in case you're wondering,yes I do,even though I'm technically English.

In the absence of Hughesies "Womens Football" area of the forum I'm having to post this on here
The Semi Final at Old Trafford between Canada and USA was just an exceptional game of Football, finishing 4-3 to the USA with the winner being scored in the third minute of stoppage time at the end of the second period of extra time (3-3 at the end of 90 minutes)
A magnificent game, skill, commitment, full blooded challenges, a hat-trick from the captain of the (eventual) losing side
If only the Mens Competition had thrown up a game like this
