Football pet hates

The problem is that without the red card there would be absolutely loads of deliberate fouls to stop goals.

 

You've misunderstood this again, in exactly the same way as it was last discussed.

 

The point is about penalties and red cards being too harsh together and that the penalty should be punishment enough.

 

But why is a penalty punishment enough?  What if a player has an open goal from a yard out and the defender fouls him and thus prevents an absolute 100% certain goal?  The chances of scoring from a penalty are far lower so the defender would benefit from this action.

 

That is why a sending off is needed.

 

This.

 

In answer to below, not actually 100% but there are many instances where the penalty is a more difficult chance than the hindered opportunity.

Yes but why does it have to be so black and white. The one that really irks me is when the attacker catches the defender's feet in their stride and naturally, at that pace, goes over. The defender hasn't even attempted a tackle yet still gets redded virtually every time.

 

It cannot always be the right action to send someone off. Years ago referees used to officiate at their own discretion and not have FIFA dictate what they must be doing. FIFA has really taken the personal side we used to see with refs away, by preaching these ridiculous dictats. I believe it started when an injured player HAD to leave the field of play before re-entering the game. To stop the play acting. Has it worked? Of course it hasn't.

Papers in the January window, normally they're not good for getting things right but there seems to be a collective insanity that takes over in this window (and to a lesser extent late august part of summer window) where they'll publish any bullshit (eg linking QPR with anyone competent) and everyone everywhere just laps it up.

Football.

 

Becoming really disillusioned with it all but i can't live without it either( Ok that might be a bit much)  :okay:

 

I'm really getting fed up with it now like. One of the reasons I thought I could never live abroad is because I'd miss going to matches too much. Haven't been to a single away game this season apart from Brugge (mainly due to unforeseen circumstances) but I haven't really missed it that much.

Every time something like this happens (e.g. Carroll going) I tell my self that I must remember that no player has much genuine affection for a club and almost all would leave immediately given a better option. But then time passes and I start to care about them again. Depressing really.

It's impossible to not feel anything towards the players. For me, without that it takes away a big part of my love for Newcastle. I don't want to watch 11 nameless, faceless players represent my city, but if that's the reality then it's horrible.

I'm not too emotional about club football, tbh. Obviously, the results hit me like they hit everyone else, but at the end of things, these people on the pitch just happen to be ones that are slightly more qualified to perform the job I spent the first 16 years of my life applying for. If I had made the grade in football, I would have wanted to make as much money as possibe and win as many things as possible. They shouldn't need a connection to the club, they are employees.

Only slightly more qualified Baba?

:lol: I was a top player in the Ibadan school yards, tbf, just because I was taller and larger than most anyone else. I just struggled with passing, controlling the ball, dribbling, and other things of that nature. And if I had made it, supporters would definitely regarded me as a mercenary.
