380 bans for amateur footballers and coaches following spike in referee attacks | ITV News We have a big problem here.

Very very doubtful. Modern players grow up with football speech, and how Liam Manning speaks will be very familiar, players from academies up are imbibed in footballs own communication.

I do not think coaching terminology is a trade secret. Its ubiquitous to great numbers of coaches and players. I would expect the word block, or shape, or screen to resonate with most coached players post 13 as the theme there is so very widely used. Words like block are trigger words to relay information quickly and spark efficiently physical movement. I do agree with your point about wanting, or needing to know more. Coach speak can become impenetrable .. I frequently didn't understand what Lee Johnson was talking about as he had a degree of the unique versus speech that was widely used in football levels. Its an area I think that would come down to the skills of the interviewer to discern if further explanation is beneficial, or widely interesting for fans

I like the term behaviours, because everything is a behaviour. People make choices to behave in manners that make success more likely, or not, or worse. Another I like is solutions not excuses. Solution based thinking, growth mindset, challenge states, non negotiables etc are behaviours, so is get your ******* head up Son and crack on. Part of the EUFA badges includes a section on dealing with the media. The style of communication between Manager/coach and fans is down to each individual Manager/coach and their club not the FA. I contacted BCFC once about sharing information with fans about playing identity, training methods and how these were applied throughout the club to the XI .. I got the impression the club really didn't get many (any) enquiries about that type of thing.

To a degree the answer is yes. As part of coaching badges there are modules on communication, learning styles, leadership approaches, the constant forming of shared culture for the team, and coaching thus has its coach speak vernacular. A consistent in coaching is emphasis on collective behaviours, team mindset the us and we's above are typical.

Your jury is out after four games. The players will not be able to react yet to the readjustments Liam Manning is making. Its logical with a team at the forming stage that some players will not cope and fall away. Messes should be an expectation when implementing a differing model of play, in Manning speak the team/squad will not collectively have gained the behaviours, culture and use the principles of play that make success more likely. In grown up football despite what a Jon Lansdown thinks a coach will not integrate their playing intent into a squad of players in four games. KPI's can be used very differently. Key performance indicators are the metrics of individual players and units and the team. KPI's for central midfielders can be physical - Players have to run 10km + and the unit a collective figure. Forwards have to display a physical KPI of what can be called DTI (defensive tactical intensity) where a player has to be able to consistently close a player down in a given time, recover in a identified time and this can also be a collective unit (pressing) figure. On these KPI's proceed including possession across zones, thirds , players and units leading to penetrative passes, XG's assists etc. The KPI's can be Mr Mannings behaviours. Players KPI's become goals to achieve, goal focus to improve individually, and collectively behaviours as a team - Behaviours implemented as a team that make success more likely. This is not a claim to be exact for this coach, but its not uncommon practice in coaching

I think Bristol City should be employing the staff Southampton let go. There are players who Ian Rossiter scouted and coached now at BCFC throughout levels, and Ian had joined Southampton. He should have been kept by City in the first place.

Off at a tangent. Southampton are shutting their Bath academy. Its an area BCFC can move into.

Your an interesting poster but you have let yourself down there. Nigel Pearson's Managerial CV is not bang average. Better is your perception and your opinion. That is all that is. In four games you couldn't evidence base your better.

Its not sudden. Coaching evolves and from the nineties there has been a shift towards more possession based football and building play through the thirds. Guardiola's influence is massive, as is Klopps and the UK has imported foreign coaches and influences. We the UK have moved from direct and 4-4-2 to a multitude of approaches based upon possession as a keystone to what is varying and wildly differing football - Bournemouth, Brighton, Liverpool, Newcastle, Man City will all build from the back but all play differently as they advance up the pitch.

Its been one to keep an eye on, and on occasions coach to players. There is no longer challenge v everything v keepers in the box. There is sense in it unlike the PSG Newcastle penalty last night, what I thought I knew, I don't.

There is nothing in the law about pressure. You cannot challenge a keeper when he throws the ball or bounces it. Having the ball in one hand, in the palm, or having a hand on top of the ball is the keeper being in possession and the keeper cannot be challenged. A keeper cannot also be challenged by an opponent who is not in a playable distance of the ball. The laws have been gradually adapted to take into consideration the safety of keepers. They are more vulnerable than the outfield players.

Rule changes are not necessarily for the game. The offside rule changed repeatedly to create more attacking play and reduce significantly the number of offsides per game. Attacking play creates more incident and goals. More entertainment for TV viewers.

Ex referees do.

What training do you think referees do?

The laws have not changed. A attempted headbutt is violent conduct, and contact is not necessary. Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct (thefa.com)

Reading the thread I don't think you are alone. Sins bins have been used at varying levels since 2019. From youth football to U23 and some adult leagues. sin-bins-infographic.pdf

Sin bins are used in grass roots football, players can be sin binned in the AYL.

It is almost like there is a synergy present where behaviours at the top manifest themselves throughout the game. I cant quite put my finger on the psychology where diminished respect for officialdom at the games zenith is not mirrored at grass roots games ..

Sorry, but you need to read my post again in context. If Bristol City ladies played v male Bristol City players at 19, players of that age are in the professional development phase Mickey Bell oversees.

Its thread about Bristol City WSL. I do not think Mickey Bell would allow it here. It is dangerous.

I didn't state there's no chance, there is always a chance. I could post a list of games where adult female teams have done very badly versus U teams. My Sons former U15 development centre side beat a female WNL team, U15 males bullied adult females while holding back physically for fear of injuring their opponents. I coach primarily males, and I have coached females the differences in physical capability from strength, speed and abc's are stark. I would support and have been involved in females playing with males till U14. Past that age there is a safety and safeguarding issue. It maybe be ok for adult females to play non competitive football, to participate in light training with adult males, it is not safe and it is utterly foolhardy for adult females to play in competitive games and intense training involving contact against adults of the opposite sex. Females simply cannot physically complete. Males physically destroy females in football, if they desire. I in my advancing years can dominate high level adult (I have coached them) females physically, I would not even take part in SSG's because the risk of injuring a player is so high. A Lucy Bronze is a wonderful female player. In the male game she would be slow, lacking power, and small in stature. That is the Lucy Bronze that scores headers at corners for England Ladies at the elite of the elite level .. She would be physically bullied in the male game. Hence I state female football should be judged and admired as the female game it is.

That is a wild one amongst Keynsham's goal heavy results, but Keynsham is primarily a youth team. Primarily students from merchants academy. That's kids 16 - 19 playing v adults sides and occasionally beating them (7-3 Saturday). Total Pro Soccer - Merchants' Academy (merchantsacademy.org) The team frequently play remarkable eye catching possession football and then get over powered by opponents. What they are doing is exceptional, and they will not finish bottom of their men's league. Keynsham Town First | Toolstation Western Football League (thefa.com)

A national league team would easily. A Western league would likewise. Good standard male U18 again .. Its not a fair equivalence. Females cannot possess the pace and power of males, no amount of training will bridge that gap. Female football should be judged by the game that it is. Female football.

One I can share. Scott Murray was sent a few kind messages calling him kit boy and telling him to pick the dirty jock straps off the floor. JET sent a message back to the Swindon players, " I am going to make you eat those jock straps".
