I haven't seen a thread on this news story yet.

150 years ago today the 13 rules of football were written in a pub in London, the Freemasons Arms in Covent Garden.

You can see them in the British Library for a short while.

It also coincides with the London Underground anniversary and together they produced versions of the "Underground" map with famous players and managers replacing stations ( all of them, 398? ) on themed lines. Even women.

Impressive.

What a great game it is too

I'd love to go back to the 70's and 80's football

Have to say the game isn't quite the same now imho

If you take the 60's, 70's and to a lesser degree the 80's there were some great Scottish footballers, Denis Law comes to mind, amongst many others.

Wtf are all the Scottish kids doing these days?

At least one more than the ref at Chelsea knew, cost me 40 points in the fantasy league he did.

Technically none. They are officially called the laws of association football

No idea how many there are though. It will probably be on the FA website somewhere.

So the 13 rules that formed the FA are now laws? Another reason to not like this game.
