A couple of times they have over-run and the game has restarted. Grrrr. 2) it seems as if FIFA must have a directive where socks are not allowed to have the holes that seem fashionable for some playing in the PL Socks are only there to hold up the ridiculously small shin pads that are worn at the moment. 3) I understand why corners should be checked for the benefit of the defending team, but if an error has been made the other way, why not correct that too. Bonkers! There are more? I am, by nature, a bit of a picky so and so.

I have a contact within Mad now if you cannot log in or can log in but are still being denied to post on here but you but you first gotta make sure you are not using a VPN or other proxy software in any future attempts to log in as Mad are right now in the process of having to make all their boards more secure following recent hacking attempts including a total block on China from now too, so all log in issues that stopped me from posting appear ok now.

Mad is still in the process of being upgraded with new forum software (probably by Mon/Tues next week to complete) which will fix a lot of the nasty-bugs on their very outdated old code system previously used, so hopefully none of that flippin annoying ? ? ? malarky within folks posted sentences to decipher.

I am happy to help anyone in UK, Europe, USA, Australia & even on the moon into getting back onto the Leeds board if you have had/or are still experiencing any log in issues and can provide the email for you to get it sorted at Mad by their tec guys for the coming season.
