Ste Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Footballers aren't robots, they want to win so sometimes their passion will come across, either in a positive way or negative. As long as it isn't over the top, it's good to see a player cares for the cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's natural and dont really consider it a problem. can't be that natural when it doesn't happen in most other sports. I'm sure players in other sports want to protest but the authorities crack down on it. Surely you don't think rugby players don't want to complain too?! I don't think challenging authority or showing frustration is something that needs to be stifled when not excessive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sport and...the NFL are the only two I can think of that haven't taken steps to curb it. NBA players can't even look at a ref without getting punished, and MLB refs are so untouchable that they're the most power mad fuckwits on the face of the planet.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 It just happened in the Atletico-Real Madrid match. The entire "player goes down from minor contact , and the opposing team plays the ball in extremely tentative and confused manner for an entire minute while the crowd gets increasingly agitated until the referee finally blows" routine. It is ridiculous. On 28/09/2013 at 16:24, Mike said: Quote Quote Dont think intimidating referees is acceptable but I dont want to see players punished for protesting.

Surely there is a balance between the lawlessness of football and the totalitarian regime Stern has imposed on the NBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the identity of simply being called 'United' I've never been particularly arsed like, although I do make a conscious effort not to refer to Man Utd as United. But a) often it's done in the context of a conversation that's already begun about one of the clubs, in which case... what's the problem? and b) people, including me, used 'City' to refer to Man City for years and years, but I've only ever seen it raised as an annoyance since they've been good.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Don't see how you can prevent it really, unless the players are having a really great day with not much work to do. You're always going to ease off when you're 3-0 up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can backfire but if you go in at half time 2 or 3 ahead most players will think job done and take it easier for the rest of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
