In the style of William Maher Jr, in this thread I will post suggested new rules for the forum. As they are rules, rather than laws, you are free to ignore them if you choose, they are guidelines for ethical, intellectual conduct
1. If you have not read the report on the written reasons for Luis Suarez's 8 game ban, you must not criticise the decision
2. If you have not read the Laws of the Game, freely available from the Football Association or the International Federation of Association Football, you must not criticise refereeing decisions
3. If you apply 'Innocent until proven guilty' onto sins, you must apply it to all. For example, while one can say that a player is innocent of racially abusing an opponent because it was never proven beyond reasonable doubt, one cannot then abuse his accuser for being a liar, as you cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that he lied.
This may become a regular thing or it may sink down and die, most likely the latter, we shall see.
