Cf Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Make each half 30 minutes and stop the clock when the ball is out of play if that's what you want. Not this silly new system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Is there a list of what contributes to added time? Seems like a clear list is needed if it’s going to be fair. Like, if nobody has been booked for time wasting then presumably no time has been wasted. So then you’d just be talking about subs and injuries?

Beren Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 1 hour ago, The Prophet said: The problem with this rule, like almost every rule brought in is that won't be applied consistently across the board. That in itself is part of a wider issue, the standard of refereeing is so bad that it doesn't earn the respect it should. Yeah discrepant enforcement is definitely a problem, but I'm an idealist. Reversing the culture of disrespect of the referee's authority will take time and be a painful process, but it's the right ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Change the rules every season and can’t get basic decisions right. Martinez should be off. Guy at the end there with the kick on Gordon should have been booked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Only negative of the day for me, this cunt. To pick up 3 yellows without a solitary bad tackle is infuriating and hopefully not a sign of things to come. 3 yellows for utter bullshit reasons - disputing a decision, a hand gesture and not running off quickly enough. All 3 things I've seen in other games already without any punishment whatsoever. If they're going to be consistent about all of those things then fair enough, seems we got hammered for what others have got away with and we're only 1 game in. It's fucking pigshit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Was sure Tonali was booked after the Martinez debacle and then got another yellow as he left the field but must have been someone else who got booked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Agree with a lot of what Gary Neville raises here. Seems they're totally looking for ways to corrupt the game and cause controversial talking points as much as possible. Take yesterday, Madley handing Bruno a yellow for miming a yellow to the ref, not sure if anyone spotted Digne do the same late on (Digne already on a yellow) but no second yellow from Madley for the exact same offence, How is that consistent?

Yeah I think I can agree on Martinez, but that now invites goalkeepers to commit rugby tackles on players as long as they have a player behind them, is that how they explained it? Digne/Bruno no consistency, as the video of Webb I just posted talks about consistency, getting it right. They may as well say we'll make it up to suit on the day.

Likelylad Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Booking Tonali was just petty. He clearly wasn’t time wasting. It was 5-1 ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Madley is out of his depth. He was a fucking idiot yesterday, but at least he was a fucking idiot for both teams. The one thing I thought he got right was the yellow for Martinez- Miggy was running towards the corner flag as opposed to the goal so for me it's not a clear goalscoring opportunity (subjective, I know.)

OCK Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) I have no confidence that a ref will give a second yellow for time wasting (if a player has already been booked for kicking the ball away or waving the imaginary card) Edited August 14, 2023 by OCK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
