Reading vs. Manchester United

I think if you play the 'off the pitch' card you have to stay off

Nope. Ruud scored in an identical situation several years ago. Maybe the Laws have been revised since then. But you are allowed to come back onto the pitch.
 
Cleverley for Fletcher please. He's being shown up out there. So slow to everything, touch and passing very sloppy.
 
I'm listening on the radio but I get the feeling I should say, "FFS Robin how did you miss?!".

It was a very tight angle. RvP should have scored, but most footballers would have struggled just to get their foot around the ball.
 
go through the pre match comments on this thread, half on them bemoaned he was picked!

And why wouldnt they? He's been terrible before today. Admittedly, he's been very good today.
 
The Pog will score. We need another. 5-4 seems probable.

I wasn't over the moon he was starting, but if he's going to beat this bad run of form he needs to play. Looks like he's doing that.

Yeah, I'm not one for basing the laws of the game around what one player did once, as good as he was. I think you remain inactive if you stay off the pitch. Not sure though. Otherwise you could just have your CF stand just off the pitch and run on after the ball is played.
 
Fletcher needs to be subbed. Welbeck about to come on . Evans with another brainfart..
