League AGM

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

Get rid of the 4th official and his stupid little time board which only incites the crowd, players and managers alike. 

Put that bloody flag up. When a player is offside indicate it straight away not wait minutes chancing a bad injury during 'dead' play.

I would like them to consider something to reduce kit clashes - particularly where there is an obvious difficulty for colour blind players/supporters.

Refereeing teams should be able to identify potentially difficult clashes (there are free apps that show what the world is like for people with different types of colour blindness) and the league should be capable of gathering kit information as the kits are released, in the process identifying & mitigating potential clashes.

I would expect them to consider introducing a rule that an away kit should not clash with the clubs own home kit.

I get that football is a business now, moreso than the days of clubs having the same shirts for 4 years, but there is absolutely no reason to have a shirt you can only use in games that it would be perfectly fine to wear your home shirt in. Shirt sales have such little value at the top of the pyramid anyway; if it's about the money, let's deal with inclusivity first and then the money men can fight out whether you can have an extra sponsors patch across the players' shirts.

If a team turns up with only their away kit/third kit and it's a particularly awkward clash, the home side should have a suitable alternative lined up.

I believe there has been a bit of discussion between the club, the SC&T and a number of affected supporters on this topic and City are leading the way with trying to get a resolution to this problem

Possibly not common knowledge but Scott Murray mentioned that he was colour blind and he has seen first hand from his role in the club the problems being created

Hopefully this is something that will be resolved for those impacted

If the linesmen can only run half the length of the pitch and quite often they only cover the middle third of that half then have 4 linesmen and then enforce where throw ins should be taken as in rugby. Where there is action in the penalty area there are obviously blind spots from both the linesman on the other side and the referee.

Was always puzzled when they had the extra official behind the goal in European games that they were always the same side of the pitch as the linesmen, was the perfect time to solve the problem of a official possibly having a blind spot on the opposite side of the pitch
