We know for experience that Teams very often take of an Attacking player to be replaced by a defender iand go into defensive mode n an effort to get a Draw or better. A short timeout giving a player a chance to cool down is the lesser of the Evils. I think a serious of timeouts would help in this area without destroying the rest of the game for the Fans. It always amazes how little say and influence Fans have within the game and yet without them their would be no football of note. After all it's an entertainment business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 26 March 2022 Share Posted 26 March 2022 Talking crap to the referee should be an instant booking. Only the captain should be allowed to speak to the ref under any circumstances imo. Managers should get sent to the stands as well, pep and klopp should get sent upstairs every week the pair of plebs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_horns Posted 26 March 2022 Share Posted 26 March 2022 Burnley wanted to sign Victor Moses from Spartak Moscow but the Premier league refused to sanction a move . Seems to differ in various countries. Spain allow it but not Germany or Italy . https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11708/12575394/victor-moses-premier-league-blocks-burnleys-bid-to-bring-spartak-moscow-player-back-from-russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He aint bald Posted 26 March 2022 Share Posted 26 March 2022 19 hours ago, Lambert09 said: Honestly a 10 minute sin bin for that sort of thing would be perfect. Stuff that’s outside of the regular game, ie abusing the ref not for challenges. Same could be said for squaring up and pushing and shoving etc. (Would have been nice if bergwign had been after his shove in Soyuncu) Tried watching the Tigers but was refused entry due to sub standard hamper. Therefore I dont know how the sin bin works in practice but will footballers play cricket with rugby codes? I can imagine that 10 minutes being like added time now. Cramps, head injuries, nasty brushed arm traumas and Garry Kasparov considered throw ins? (the chess player not Chelsea loanee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the refs used their cards correctly, it would all end. The integrity of the game would survive the month of 10 v. 7 games before players learned the lesson and stopped messing around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laws seem to be introduced and then cancelled or ignored after a month or so, whatever happened to stopping quick free kicks every team now has someone who obstructs and the refs ignore it. Is it no longer a law, forgotten or ignored? Goalies taking ages to clear the ball, players advancing 10 plus yards on throw ins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 27 March 2022 Share Posted 27 March 2022 Yeah I'm not sure why we are so low when we have owners who took us from 15th in the Championship, to consecutive 7th place Prem finishes and Europa League QFs as soon as we got promoted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess people see you guys run by harmless owners from countries that aren't run with dodgy regimes and bankrolled by the state. 5 minutes ago, The Bear said: Yeah I'm not sure why we are so low when we have owners who took us from 15th in the Championship, to consecutive 7th place Prem finishes and Europa League QFs as soon as we got promoted. Was a strange one - maybe whoever voted didn't like the Jorge Mendes connection? Guess we are bottom as the Pozzos never give managers time - doubt anyone cares what else they do at our club.
