Portsmouth slam goal window

Portsmouth have added their voice to the chorus of disapproval over Fifa's unpopular goal window rule.

Said a spokesman: "It is completely arbitrary and it is making life really tough for managers.

"Having this so called 'time' in which you can score goals puts us at a huge disadvantage. After so-called full time, we find ourselves sometimes three or four goals behind.

"Clearly if these unfair restrictions were lifted then we could perhaps score some of our own goals and pay off our creditors, such as Trotters Independent Traders, Barry's Loanshark Emporium and Cameroon.

"Football is over regulated. We see this full time rule as a restraint of trade and intend to go to the European Court of Silly Rights. "
