You're certainly on something in this instance and it's not the money But let's just agree to differ shall we?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng...ferees-in-gloucestershire-begin-sin-bin-trial Sin bins are being trialled in the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League apparently....
Sin Bins are on the way in. We (Guildford and Woking Alliance) will have them coming in next year to see how it goes, believe the Surrey Intermediate League System also has it in place this year for a trial run. Think it will work better in the lower leagues as you get some knarky ****s who need 5 mins to chill out but not sure how it will affect the top divisions although I'd be all for it if it stopped some of the diving and time wasting.
Do not want sin bins. The game was fine as it was before all these extras coming in. Soon, when you go to the pub what are you going to discuss? Won't be the ref as there will be all this video replay bollox. Won't be a contentious sending off as we will have video replay/sin bins etc.
I think if they manage it well and only do it for bit's like diving, verbally abusing officials and time wasting etc then fair do's but if its for a 50-50 challenge for example or a penalty decision then its a bit harsh. As a full back with a chronic lack of pace (stamina's not bad but pace... NONE) I need to be able to take a yellow here and there when my man beats me on the halfway line and is charging goal-wards.
The only way I can only foresee Sin Bins coming into the game, are as a alternative to a second yellow card. If binned on a first yellow card offence, it could be farcical. Slow the game, as teams run the clock down. Cramp will become the stoppage of choice. What are the consequences of binning a keeper? More questions than answers, so trials would hopefully iron out problems. For those old enough to remember, you only have to look back when the back-pass rule was brought in. The idea was derided beforehand, but it changed the face of football for the good. Who knows, this may happen and in years to come, people will wonder what the fuss was all about.
It'll have to be the one in Ayia Napa. I think that's the closest one to me. Failing that the Judge will have to hang on until Tuesday. But other than that it's on like donkey kong
Decisions will still be contentious though. They show a striker falling down in slow motion the penalty box a gazillion times on Sky after the game and from a dozen different angles and the pundits and fans still can't agree on if the decision should have gone one way or another. Video refs for me should only be brought in for each team having one referral per game and any time the ball ends up in the back of the net the goal is automatically reviewed for offside etc.
Sounds yawn all this video stopping! In the pub or with my mates we like to discuss and argue and slate the ref and the lines people and the opposition. We love discuss how we were robbed etc People need to leave football well alone. If they want to fiddle (not in the AJ way) some more then turn it back to a mans game.
I wouldnt like that idea. After witnessing a goal and having it instantly confirmed by seeing the referee running and pointing to the centre circle will not result in the same ecstatic delirium for fans If they had a compulsory referral waiting for them. That doubt that any goal will stand will spoil the buzz, surely? The one referral per game for each team would be more receptive but I am of the camp who says 'just leave things as they are'
No comment. Water Polo is a vicious sport. I went to see a girlfriend play it once and spent the rest of the day walking round London with a girl sporting a beautiful black eye. Got a few dirty looks.
It didn't work like that during the recent youth championships. It hardly affected the flow of the game at all, but did correct a couple of mistakes. I thought it worked quite well.
