Where did I say we didn't need it? This is classic of you looking for an argument. I gave him the credit he deserved, he broke up play well. But I simply said he wasn't excellent. Because it wasn't an excellent midfield performance. Read my original post. I said I don't mind it in an...

You can go for likes as much as you like. You are the one being overly positive about a midfield performance that was average. Stop judging him as a CB in midfield and instead judge him on the role.

He wasn't. He was bang average. My post explains why. He isn't a midfielder and doesn't progress the ball well. He breaks up play well. That's it.

Agreed.

I'm not sure on the comments about lati saying he was excellent of CDM. He wasn't. He did a job, and broke up play well at points but He benefited from the positive nature of the changes which pushed Haji into an area he can cause damage and allowed O'Hare a ton of space with Palmer off. That's...

No it wasn't 😂

Shocking keeping that but who cares!!!

Sorry what? I thought this was banned? And that females have to be searched by female stewards for obvious reasons... Seems highly inappropriate

Not really no.

He was too busy celebrating in his head! He started to run off rather than putting it in the bloody net properly! Frustrating

I disagree, it's quite hard for momentum to swing on a dime in football. If it was near the end of a half maybe. But some teams struggle to just change like that. Plus imagine for somebody against a top team, might the difference between a point and none

Yeah cynical fouls included in this trial buts not officially announced yet so no details on that is!

Agreed I'm not sure why they added an extra card when all that needs to happen is what we do at lower levels. Yellow and point with both hands to the dugout. Simple! Not sure on sin bin for all yellows mind! (Be a nightmare at lower levels!)

Ah apologies. Definitely won't carry over. It will just be till the end of the match. Too many issues if you do that.

Dissent? Not in my experience that happens at any time.

A yellow card for dissent has proven it doesn't work. Players don't care, as it very very rarely leads to a red. We discussed the 7 man thing at a ref conference this week. Essentially the game would be abandoned if you dropped below 7. The directive this year for surrounding refs is that the...

This is already being used in Sunday league pretty much via sin bins, just without the blue card. It works far more effectively than a standard yellow ever did as a referee. I know top refs are supportive of the decision, depending on implementation and laws around it. I think having it for...

It's not just transfer fiasco. They are in deep financial shit. My Blackburn supporting mate says venkys have had assets frozen and there is only money until end of the season. Add on the transfer stuff as you say then I think he has every right to walk.

Current discussions are that it won't be used in this year's play offs...

Speaking as a referee things like that never bother me it's to be expected as you say 😂 It's when the pundits like linekar contradict themselves by asking for law changes they change and then they say whoever made them got it wrong 😂
