Daft questions (football edition)

Can't really remember but do midweek games get moved a lot? Have tickets booked for Tues the 2nd of Feb but have a feeling games have moved a day or two either side in the past.

 

Doubtful, kick off might shift slightly if it's on TV but I doubt it'd change night as the league programme is usually split between Tues/Weds anyway.

If a player fouls someone and is set to receive a booking but play goes on because of advantage to the other team, and then before a break in play he makes another tackle worthy of a yellow, will he get sent off then? As in, can he get two yellows at the same time?

Yup, happened to Chris Baird a month or so ago.

Me either, seems fairly unfair given that you probably wouldn't challenge in the same if you'd been booked plus you might not have noticed the ref played advantage.

Aye, that's what I was thinking, most players change their game after having been booked. Then again, would be unfair on the other team and they are the ones who should be given an advantage if an opposing player is reckless.

Most players "know" when they have committed a cardable offense, but they still try act their way out of it. 

 

Their reaction in trying to deny the offense is never as genuine as those that are truly surprised (such a Mitrovichs Red card for the Stamp vs Arsenal). He genuinely had no idea that it was SFP.

 

Most know what they have done and why they did it but they are still try and persuade the ref that they shouldn't be carded).  So two yellows in one play will seem harsh and might be a surprise but they would also know it could be coming.

They should change it so if the player receiving the yellow can get another bookable challenge in before the ref has an opportunity to award the first card, then they cancel each other out. Bring some proper skill into fouling opponents.

Can't give advantage if a straight red is to be given but can for a second yellow.

 

Nah, that's not true, mate, the ref can interpret it as he likes and is always right at the time. If some knacker, e.g. S. Larsson, handles the ball on the line, that's a straight red and a pen, but the ref can do whatever he wants and lots of subhumans will agree with him. Corner. :lol: Not bitter.

This must have been asked 800 times before, what's the deal with unused rows of seats at eufa games. Front of the kop is fenced off, both ends at Celtic Park are un used, never had a straight answer on this.

If you've got BT look at the Jock Stein (left) at Celtic Park, the fans in the first used row of seating are about 6' higher than the advertising. I was once told it was to stop fans invading the pitch, but this is bollocks too as at Celtic and Liverpool there is no unused seating along the length of the pitch.
