  1. Just put the game on my fire stick. They have about 100 there!!
  2. The ref is clueless, but you know everything…ok!. Perhaps you should carry a whistle and referee from the Dolman!.
  3. Cheating by whom, the players. You want every foul to be a yellow card then. I’m sure referees would like to oblige, but then you would say the ref spoilt the game when it’s 8 v 8.
  4. “He was useless” ok mate When will you be showing us show it’s done then?. Seriously, what do you want out of the officials, other than giving every decision City’s way. It’s boring now seeing the officials slagged off continuously. If you think you could do better, then go for it, get your black kit on, then tell us when you do your first game!.
  5. Committing a foul is not always a yellow card offence. I didn’t see any particular foul that they were “getting away” with and not getting carded. Both teams received 2 yellows each, which seemed fine imo. I watched it on tv thanks. Do you referee often ?.
  6. A referee will ( when he can ) talk to players on first name terms, it’s all about building up a rapport with the players. As for the Vyner challenge that earned him a yellow, a close up camera angle showed he didn’t actually touch him. Did the referee get this close up camera view… no, but because people on here did, then they blame the referee. There are so many experts at officiating on here, that I’m amazed we have a referee shortage in this country….
  7. Great performance, 6 wouldn’t have flattered us tonight. We were so wasteful with the final ball at times, especially in the first half. Second half we were far more composed and relaxed on the ball. Which goes to show the players can still improve immensely.
  8. City look far the better side, going forward time and time again. Simply zero thought or composure going into the final ball though. I honestly cannot remember City ever wasting so many opportunities of finding players in the box. Sam Bell really needs a lesson in relaxing on the ball.
  9. Our approach play at times is fantastic, our final ball, shocking.
  10. No, I haven’t witnessed any of that. All I hear is the other players telling their team mate what he pxxk he was, for getting sin binned.
  11. It doesn’t spoil the game, it makes players behave properly. If players can’t behave properly then tough. I’ve actually fallen out of love with the game at the top, because I’ve become sick of the diving, cheating, dissent, and trying to con officials for 90 minutes. Players and managers need to start behaving properly, if they won’t, then accept the punishment and go off for ten minutes, simple.
  12. At grassroots it’s 10 minutes from the referees watch. As you can imagine, the player is desperate to get back on after 5 minutes!. I don’t know what will happen at the top level, I imagine it will be handed over to the fourth official to time it. The big issue is that players at the top have been allowed for far too long to get away with abuse, and swearing at the officials. Grassroots players see this on tv, and think it’s acceptable. The officials at the lower levels have paid for the leniency that the top level officials give players. Hopefully the top level officials will now use this new tool properly, and the abuse will stop… time will tell.
  13. I’ve been watching football for the last 2-3 seasons in Somerset county league, and this league has had sin bins. I’ve found they work really well, players who are at ‘boiling point’ etc get 10 minutes to basically calm down on the touchline, you see a marked improvement from them when they come back on. Its a really good piece of armour for a referee to have, and use. So far I think it’s only been used for abuse etc, but it can only be good that it will be also used for cynical “ taking one for the team” fouls. It’s about time these were stamped down on with more than just a yellow card.
  14. And that’s why I hate the money league, and personally have no desire to get there. All clubs like yours, and mine, would/do……care about is not getting relegated. What a miserable way to watch football.
