Question: When will the FA introduce video replays for referees? With the permiership season only just started, and a few doubious decisions already, when will the FA introduce video playback for the referee or 4th official. It has worked well in Rugby for years and is now working well in both tennis and cricket. Surley it's time the FA moved forward and followed suit. It would also stop the players arguing with the Ref if it's shown on the big screens that most clubs have. I'm sure all this arguing with the Ref spills over to the fans on the street after the game causing more agro and more policing.
Answer: Couldn't agree with you more. I've been calling for this to happen but football's big wigs seem intent on holding the game back whilst other sports are getting the benefit.
It doesn't take long for an incident to be reviewed by the referee, or even the fourth official while he is on the line, and controversial decisions like penalty decisions like old trafford yesterday, Anfield recently and even David Healy's goal that was never given would be no more and i think the game would be the better for it.
sometimes the game finishes and you feel robbed. Sympathy to spurs fans for yesterday as well. Video replay would of been ideal.
Question: How do I get a trial with an FA Premier team? I'm a sixteen-year-old, american teen wondering how I can get a chance to tryout for the reserves and eventually play on an FA Premier League team. If I can buy a plane ticket to England, where would I go from there?
Answer: Maybe sign to a team with great coaches and high standards, when u go to some big tournaments you will see some scouter who will find u and try to sign u to a pro team. There's an awful lot of luck if one of them are from the EPL. Most likely you would be signed to the Football League Champs league and will build ur popularity and work your way up into the EPL. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo was undiscovered talent until Sporting Lisbon played Manchester United and was discovered, and look at him now, One of the top players in the world! You could be like that...
Question: How much can I sell a classic Nikon FA camera with lenses for? It's a Nikon FA camera with carry bag and these 3 lenses:
-28mm 1:2.0 Ø 52
-Nikkor 135mm 1:2.8
-Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm 1:4.5
It might be outdated, but I don't want to sell it for too little. What price range can I look at?
Answer: check out prices on ebay.
Question: Why don't colleges give the same level of FA to transfer applicants that they give to freshman? Why is it that most colleges give little or no financial aid to transfer? I REALLY REALLY hate the college that I'm going to now and I want to transfer out so badly. But the problem is that this one school I wanted to go to didn't give me any FA and I couldn't go. Why do they do that?
I didn't mean federal financial aid. I'm talking about grants and scholarships.
Answer: If by FA you mean federal financial aid, if the school doesn't offer it, it means they are not accredited (and you really don't want to go to a school that is not accredited).
If by FA you mean grants and scholarships, Pell grant is not determined by the school, but by your FAFSA. Scholarships have a variety of different qualifications that a student must meet in order to be eligible for them.
Can you be more specific as to why a certain school did not offer you federal financial aid? I doubt they just said "No" and turned you away.
Question: How can the FA stamp out racism when Paul Ince was sacked because he was a black man? It makes me laugh - all those big wigs and pundits talking about stamping out racism in football. The fact of the matter is that Paul Ince was sacked today because he is a black man.
If he was a white man - do you think he would have been sacked after 6 months? So long as the institutional FA premiership racism carries on, its no wonder the fans think its ok to abuse black players on the pitch.
It makes my stomach turn.
Answer: i agree wif u
Question: What's the difference between the Nikon F3 and the FA? I already have the Nikon FA, but the F3 seems to be calling out my name too! What are the pros and cons?
Answer: Unless you need the interchangeable finders, more ruggedness of a pro body, or a faster motor drive, there is no compelling reason to get the F3 if you already have an FA. The FA is actually far more advanced than the F3. The FA has all 4 standard exposure modes, matrix metering, and a standard ISO flash shoe that works with all Nikon TTL flashes, while the F3 only has aperture priority AE, centerweighted metering, and a proprietary flash shoe limiting you to, I believe 3 Nikon flash models (I have an SB-16B for my F3), or an expensive TTL adapter.
The only reason I have an F3 is that I got a "deal" on it... an advantage of being from a "bad neighborhood"(this is going back a few years, unfortunately my "connection"... the middleman between the crackheads and people like me, has passed away)... Otherwise my primary Nikon MF body these days would be an FE (I used to have a nice black one that I regret trading away).
Question: I was a ground crew of Bangladesh Air Force for 8 years. Is it value adding for FA candidate? So far I know cabin Crew (FA) jobs has little similarity with that of ground crew. In Addition, I've been discharged for misconduct. So I am unwilling to mention this experience into my CV for FA. I am in a quandary whether it should be mentioned.
Answer: Many employers will do an extensive background check to be sure that the resume or employment application is accurate. Omitting things or lying will certainly be a problem if it is discovered. I had a tiny problem on my application at a large company and was called by the investigator and informed he had no choice but to tell the company that my application was not right. This was a second university degree I claimed I had. The school claimed it was not a second degree but a second major to my first degree.
I worked out the whole thing and the employer really didn't care if it was a degree or a major - that was the same to them. What they did not like was that it appeared I was not being honest about something. Their reasoning is that if they catch me lying about one thing I'm probably lying about others things they have not discovered yet and there is nothing to keep me from lying once I work for them, too.
If you don't mention this and it is revealed by the investigator you will not get the job.
If you don't mention it and are later found out this can be very bad. If an old co-worker or someone familiar with your past shows up in that company you could lose your job and probably forget ever working in that industry again.
Your best chance is to come clean now. Telling them you did something stupid in the past is better than having them find out later.
Question: What type of lenses can I use for a Nikon FA? I recently decided to dump my Oly 4/3 system and go Nikon- my first purchase is an old FA on Ebay, and also want to get probably a D300 in a while- what lens type should I be looking for? I know I can't use Nikon "G" lenses on the FA- so what's compatible with both? (I may also go for a D90 or D700) Can I use DX lenses on the FA?
Is this a good choice?
Nikkor AF 75-300mm f4.5-5.6- this is the older metal one, for $250 in good shape.
Answer: You cannot use DX or G CPU lenses on an FA - AI, AI-s, or AF in manual are the lenses you should get for the FA. For a telezoom, that lens is a good choice, but be aware that the FA is not an AF camera, so you will be focusing manually, and the lens will leave the viewfinder quite dim. The FA and FE lines were really designed for use with AI and AI-s lenses that are fast and bright. I would invest in a nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-s, I have one that I use with my FE2, it's an excellent lens, and you can find them for around $250 on sites like KEH: http://www.keh.com/OnLineStore/ProductDetail.aspx?groupsku=NK060000250000&brandcategoryname=35MM&Mode=&item=40&ActivateTOC2=&ID=25&BC=NK&BCC=1&CC=6&CCC=2&BCL=&GBC=&GCC=
If you wish to use AI-s lenses on newer digital SLR's, you should also be aware that unless you get a D300 or above, you will have limited use of them. They do not couple with the meters of lesser cameras like the D90/D60.

Question: How do you get hold of tickets for the 2009 FA Community Shield? Do you buy tickets directly from the club (which would be Manchester United for me) or do you buy them from the FA, like you do with England games?
Answer: You can buy tickets for the 2009 Community Shield directly from your club, which would be Manchester United, or the FA. Both of them sell tickets, but the FA only sells tickets for neutral supporters. To buy tickets for the Manchester United end, then try www.manutd.com, or for neutral tickets, try www.thefa.com. It depends on where you would rather sit.
Question: Who qualifies for the UEFA Cup if Portsmouth win the FA Cup AND finish 5th in the league? Will it be Cardiff, who will be the FA Cup runners up, or will it be the 6th place team in the league?
In previous seasons, when a team has already qualified for europe through their league position, the uefa cup place for winning the cup defers to the runner up, but i THINK that only happens if the winner has qualified for the champions league. My understanding is that the place will defer to the 6th place league team, but can anyone confirm?
Answer: if Portsmouth wins the FA Cup & finish in 5th place in the Premiership, then Cardiff City will get the UEFA Cup spot as the FA Cup runners-up.
Question: How is the FA formed? Who pays them and who chooses them? The FA analysing themselves and promising to get it right next time is a load of rubbish. Who does mr Barwick and Mr Mawhinney and all the rest report to?
Answer: The first meeting was on 26 October 1863.
They are self governing so not chosen by anyone to answer your question.
They get paid via sponsorship (e.g. of the FA Cup) ticket sales (Wembley Stadium - football and non-football events and merchandise.
