Jono62 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I would say Taylor and Oliver have been good in the Euro's also. Must be the guidelines they use in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So people who have an away leg second game can be as negative and dull as anything then get out of jail last 20 mins of a tie by scoring a double xp scuffer and taking all energy and jeopardy out the game and killing it instantly? I despise the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Im not sure the stats bit i imagine when bigger teams go out in Europe to teams like Porto or Spurs then its mainly on away goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 What is the benefit of not having away goals? I don’t get it. As for moving to one legged ties, again, why? Playing home and away is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for moving to one legged ties, again, why? Playing home and away is fair. Away goals means some goals matter more than others. That’s not fair. Football matches are supposed to be 90 minutes long, not 180. Playing a football match is fair, home and away is luck of the draw. I like that idea of keeping the actual game that’s played pure. That is that all games follow exactly the same rules from the very bottom to the very top of the pyramid. Teams playing for a draw in an away game so they can get a perceived advantage at home because they switch at what is effectively half time is not in the spirit of the game for me. Aside from that, it means the first game means less and there’s no conclusion to the match. It’s dull. It also gives more advantage to the better sides with bigger squads. It also allows UEFA to squeeze more and more money out the game. One, exciting knockout game for me. Drawing at 90 minutes? Penalties.

villa4europe Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 They're doing a really good job of saying that contact isn't a foul, lots of barging and bustling being let go and it's great to see One thing I think they are picking up on though is tackling through the player, doesn't matter if you get the ball if you go through them it's a foul Apart from hummels on mbappe which was an all dayer at the time and now in that context looks even worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2021 I expect it was posted in the match thread (haven’t checked), but fair’s fair this was pretty good from Kevin Friend today. In all honesty, I wouldn’t mind seeing more of this sort of interaction. Contains a bit of swearing, so nsfw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Not sure if this has been mentioned before but sin bins have been introduced at grass roots football. (I was not aware of this rule change as i dont really watch grass roots stuff) https://www.thefa.com/get-involved/respect/sin-bins From the 2019-20 season, temporary dismissals also known as 'sin bins' will be introduced across all levels of grassroots football. Players dissent will result in 10-minute temporary dismissals from the pitch. The mandatory rule change will be implemented up to Step 5 of the National League System and Tier 3 and below in women's football. Sin bins of 10 minutes will be issued at the discretion of referees as punishment for dissent, and will apply to all levels of grassroots football, including youth, veterans, and disability. It appears that not all of the officials are aware of what matches/competitions are affected by this as an FA Cup preliminary match is going to have to be replayed as a ref sent a player into the sin bin. FA Cup matches are not affected by this, so apparently the FA have decided the match should be replayed. Here is a clip showing the incident. You can clearly hear people shouting at the ref that he can't sin bin people in the cup. Incidentally, Bridgewater won the first match 2-1 Staggering really and shows a certain level of arrogance from the official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I think sin bin might be a good idear.Ten minutes is a long time in a football match so it might make silly/rough players think first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I like the theory behind ‘letting more go’ this season but I fear it will lead to further inconsistency and will no doubt end up benefiting the bigger clubs again. Letting a borderline decision go in a Burnley v Brighton game is all well and good but would either of those teams get a borderline decision against Liverpool, or United or City? We’ll have to wait and see I guess but i fancy not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you could see it in the first 10 mins or so of our game today, the refs seem confused as to what to do now, perhaps it just needs time to balance itself out. I’m all for letting games flow more and not giving free kicks when players are looking for it and/or going down easily but finding consistency is going to be difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
