The penalty kick law

For "There's only one..." chants, you should always stick to "Guantanamera", not a silly xmas song.

On an historical note the penalty kick was introduced in 1891, as a solution to reduce the number of deliberate fouls being committed to prevent a goal. Notts were directly involved in its introduction. The suggestion was initially turned down by the F.A. but following a high-profile incident during an F.A.Cup quarter final in which a Notts County defender prevented Stoke City from scoring an equaliser via a blatant goal-line handball, the penalty was incorporated into the Laws of the Game. Notts went on to reach the Final, where they lost to Blackburn Rovers.

The introduction of the penalty brought derision from amateur players, who detested the implication that any player would commit a deliberate or ‘professional’ foul. Great Corinthian C.B.Fry wrote, “It is a standing insult to sportsmen to play under a rule which assumes that players intend to trip, hack and push their opponents, and behave like cads of the most unscrupulous kidney.’

How times change!

Not that much. After the game a few Stokies grabbed the blackguard and condemned him to a Potter's grave.

Thank you for the kind offer, but I will politely decline. I see you've cleverly avoided your double standards on this thread though.

Shame , I was hoping you might be able to blag us our hotel. Another time maybe ?

ps. Got our tickets for the Accy game , £20 for me , fair enough but £15 for my 12 year old lad, that's taking the piss.
