It's almost as if the BITS-Pilani internet connection foresaw it with mystic eyes. As soon as the Arsenal-Manchester United match shuffled to its conclusion, after all three goals, missed chances, TheSubstitution™ and ‘You don't know what you're doing', the World Wide Web gave notice and discreetly left the premises of my college for days on end.

Guardian: Hillsborough campaigner's anger over FA Cup crowd barrier plans

• Barriers to be trialled at Sheffield Wednesday v West Ham • Margaret Aspinall calls plans 'insensitive' A campaigner for justice following the Hillsborough disaster has claimed it is "insensitive" to use crowd control barriers for an FA Cup game at the stadium this weekend.

Foul is suggesting that the Football Association of Malaysia could be facing sanctions following their recent orld Cup Qualifier against Singapore. One of the breach of regulations? Fans standing in the stairways!
Happens all the time in Indonesia. Fans clamber of fences, sit where they wanna sit, enter the press box.

There are, perhaps, two debates that should be had when it comes to the issue of the reintroduction of safe standing (or, for those of us of a certain persuasion, terracing). Firstly, there is the question of whether the choice of whether to stand or not should be a matter for law or not, and secondly whether it will make the slightest bit of difference to the game in this country.

Andy Carroll gave the thumbs-up to Liverpool fans after training properly for the first time since his £35million switch.
The giant striker, who joined from Newcastle on deadline day in a breathtaking deal, stepped out at Melwood to be put through his paces.
And he signalled his happiness to watching youngsters, who peered over the fences to snatch a glimpse at their new No 9 after the record-breaking departure of Fernando Torres to Chelsea for £50m.

Persib's Siliwangi Stadium is well past it's sell by date. As if high fences aren't enough many of the terraces seem to be below the level of the pitch effecting the spectators' view even more.
Ahead of last night's game with Arema, scenes can be seen on Jakarta Casual TV, I understand security officials were reluctant to grant permission for the game to go ahead.

Sorry, no match report.
Everything kicked off for an hour after a foul by M Ridhuan left a Persib player on the deck. For some reason Noh Alam Shah got involved. To be fair NAS gets involved in everything. If he saw two cats arguing in the street he'd get involved. Cue haraunguing of the ref and then the fans got involved.

Some classic moments happened in the third round of the FA Cup this year. The Big Three of the North East got knocked out in hilarious fashion amongst others, but it was during Crawley's win over Derby that I saw the best moment...
