Players already on a yellow card who are playing for a small club against a big club are exempt from receiving a second yellow, regardless of what offences they commit.
If a small club plays a big club and has one shot early on, said small club shall be declared 'unlucky' afterwards, regardless of what ensues in the rest of the match. |

When a team is playing a 1000 miles away from their home town & people have paid hundreds of pounds to see them & chanted support throughout the game for said players. They players at the end of the game have to be reminded to go over the the fans by the team captain to clap & say thanks for 10 £#%&!in seconds!

When a team kicks the ball out if one of their players is injured, the crowd has to clap when the other team gives the ball back from the restart even though doing otherwise would be blatant cheating.
After making a spectacular save, a goalkeeper has to shout at the nearest defender to berate him for allowing the shot in the first place and pretend that making the save means absolutely nothing to him. |

Great thread this.
When the team bus leaves the hotel on cup final day, the pictures from the helicopter overhead will start to break up within the first 10 seconds and within the minute the link will be lost entirely. The Cup Final ball will appear on tv programmes all week, then, whoever is the £#%&!wit presenter of the day, they'll be followed on a special journey in a helicopter to the stadium and it will be delivered to a fanfare of publicity 'going live to 796 countries around the world'. The game will then kick off, the ball will immediately go out of play and a ballboy will lob a totally different ball back in to the player taking the throw-in. Now the final is moving back to Wembley, players will start to go down with cramp after about 17 minutes, due to the Wembley grass being different to any other grass ever grown before. |

In the week preceding FA Cup fixtures, the BBC must seek out a butcher, plumber or similar who plays for a non-league team still in the competition. An interview must take place, during which the phrases 'hallowed turf', 'those famous steps' and 'the magic of the cup' must be mentioned a minimum of three times each.

If you put your hands behind your back, you can get in the ref's face and hassle him for any amount of time without getting a caution.
Whenever a new England kit is launched, there has to be a national debate about the price of football kits. A single mum with three sons then has to be wheeled out on GMTV, saying she can't afford to buy the kits and now her kids will get bullied in school for not having the new shirt. When a player scores against his long-served former club, he has to pretend he's attending a close relative's funeral. Simply not celebrating is nowhere near good enough as he has to actually look sorry for scoring and ignore the wild celebrations of all his team-mates jumping on top of him. |

The fans of teams like Newcastle, Manchester City and Liverpool must be praised endlessly by the commentaters for managing to half fill their ground, phrases like "hot bed of football in these parts" and "These fans turn out no matter what time the kick off" must be uttered as the camera pans the empty seats.
The fact that 7600+ turn out at Old Trafford every game must never under any circumstances be mentioned at all, unless making a quip about all the fans being from London. |

If a small club draws a big team in the cup, every person in the town must attend that game even though the last league game attracted a crowd of just 500.
The BBC will film a peice at the local Greggs in the town who have made special gingerbread men with club colours and a football to commemorate the occasion. |
