Davefevs Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 As long as it’s 5 from 7 I’ll just about accept it. I don’t want 5/9. I’d prefer today if it was 3/5 rather than 3/7. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down with this sort of thing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Not keen myself. Makes games that are becoming difficult to watch, even more difficult to watch (and it gives the big boys even more of an advantage). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 All the above, plus more added on time at the end, and we all know what happens in added on time. So no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I would rather 3 from 9, then you could have the concussion protocol properly used by having a like for like positional sub. Plus , if like us last year when we had 2 head injuries in the first half, it covers that, as many as needed. 5 basic subs is too many IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Getting technical but 3 from 7 however you can make an additional 2 subs if they're home grown academy players who've played less than x amount of games before the season starts, ie for City we could make 3 subs then bring on a Conway/Bell/Towler. Would limit it to 10/15 games as a way to ensure its very new players to first team level to try to keep having young players brought up. If you don't have young players you deem good enough don't name any on the bench and stay with 3. Just rewards good academies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Personally I think the fairest thing would be to be allowed three tactical subs but also to be allowed as many injury subs as you needed, with the proviso that anyone brought off as an injury sub cannot be selected for the next game (to prevent injury subs being exploited) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Not a fan. 3 from 7 is fine, with the concussion protocol as the exception for a 4th. Just an excuse to disrupt the game more, & as the original reason given for it was player fatigue due to Covid resulting in virtually back to back seasons, I don’t get the logic now. Probably is more down to the big clubs wanting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Not if it encourages time wasting at the end 3 is enough plus a head injury sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 A lot of people saying it'll favour the big boys which is a fair take. But it won't be all bad, there's also reason for it to benefit smaller clubs, fans and players. E.g. - more room for tactical changes in games to push for a draw or shut up shop - increased likelihood of youngsters getting game time. This will benefit smaller clubs as they can still offer academy players more game time than the big sides. - already overworked footballers will likely get more rest, increasing performance levels we see and more importantly not running players into the ground.

arrytheb Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think (and I've not fully read the article) that if it changes to 5 subs, and let's be honest, it will, then it should be restricted to 3 changes plus an additional at HT if that makes sense? So can change 5 players but have to make the changes in a maximum of 3 stoppages during 90 mins game time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I wouldn’t be mad at 4 with the concussion sub still available if need be. Think 5 pushes it too far in favour for clubs with more money. We think oh it is a small change but keep getting these small changes that favour clubs with money. Need to push back imo.

OneTeamInBristol Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Couldn't you get round the time wasting aspect by not allowing any tactical substitutions after the 90th minute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSN Red Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I would have liked a rule that prevents any subs after 90 mins, injury or tactical. Would prevent the annoying time-wasting multiple subs with a minute to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nothing mate, I know a bloke who had a broken neck and dislocated shoulder, he played the full 90 mins and added time. Went back to the pub after the game and had a few pints as well They don’t make um like that anymore.

Why should you have to use your subs before 90 mins? As said we all know time wasting occurs a lot earlier, all you'd get is a load of mysterious injuries so its not a tactical sub, not much you can do about cramp etc. Referees need to actually just follow through and be stricter on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) ... and there are now so many subs that there's always a goalkeeper on the bench. Gone are the days when an outfield player had to take the gloves. Think I remember Tinman as a decent substitute keeper.

Lew-T Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 5 subs is a bit excessive. The winning team would just slow the game down with 3 subs in the last 5-10 minutes… Don’t need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
