Saturday OA cup game was my first game in black - the thing I most remember from the first game was I struggled with getting fouls correct when players were going up for headers on long balls or clearances. I also remember pissing off the home team something chronic as I sin binned their centre...
the red in this post was a precursor to this weekend’s Sunday game...
one DOGSO-YC
one RC for keeper pulling down the last man
one RC for handball on the line
four other YCs
multiple players telling me not to send the second RC - sorry mate, mandatory stonewall red here!
gobshites all over the...
My RC finally got its first outing today. I was told on the course that the first time I need to use it I will say “oh ****!” but it was such an obvious second yellow that blue player just turned around and walked 😂
Glad to get that one done. I chose to ignore the same player coming back into...
Sin bins are a great addition. I enjoy having them as a tool. I can’t get why I see so much moaning about them. They have lowered dissent in my experience, which is always a good thing
biggest problem with it at the moment is you could potentially have a situation where you show three yellows and no red - I’d personally have a different colour card for sin bins in future
Same procedure for a lemon as usual, only difference is you dish the card then use both hands and point to the sideline. It’s dissent only remember so it will be an obvious explanation.
It’s 10 mins PLAYING time too, not elapsed time!
I was sceptical at first but I’m now a big fan - they’re a far bigger deterrent then a simple £10 fine. Plus telling players to shut up or they’ll have an extra 10 mins rest is much more fun 😂
