There is age specific football at U7/8 five a side, U9/10 seven, U11 nine etc .. But what there is a liberal application of the laws. Refs in general do not manage children's football like they manage adult games. Bookings below U14 are rare, sending offs are remarkable. I am into my third ten...

But a child's brain is not fully developed at thirteen is it? The child is not an adult and does not have the comprehension of a adult do they? So you would not apply adult consequences to a child's behaviour?

Seven. Would you send a seven year old off for waving two fingers around? I did not mention the multiple attempts at kicking an opponent. The child was sent off for the fingers. Coming from a coaching environment I see many emotional children. If we punished all immature emotional behaviours...

Then vision is restricted. Vision goes beyond primary focus. Binocular vison is not the same as peripheral vision. Peripheral vision isn't wide.

Because the player is a child. And a young child at twelve and thirteen will display emotional immature behaviours. A child's brain at thirteen is not close to fully developed and the regions that govern reasoning develop last. Expect to see immature behaviours in immature humans. Straight red...

The player was in the keepers vision. The player can only not be in the Keepers binocular vision if the Keeper shuts an eye.

I think I would find it extremely difficult to send a child off who was thirteen for a gesture of two fingers directed at an opponent. There is a sequence there to be dealt with, and I would have given the player a yellow, a stern talking to in the prescience of his Manager/Coach. The Managers...

Then the FA are discriminating against people based upon their race. Disadvantage is not exclusive. Today I will be in BS4 Bristol, Knowle West an area noted for social deprivation .. Imagine going to that sports centre down the road for a coaching/refs courses and telling people they will pay...

And could you highlight how people are being disadvantaged by the FA? If this criteria is not met the positive action becomes positive discrimination and this is not legal..

Could you point to the section of the equalities act that defines positive action based upon race please?

Discrimination based upon race is not legal under the 2010 equalities act.

Reckless. Yellow.

I posted this because I thought it was interesting. The QPR player starts in a position and jumps in a position where he clearly is looking at the ball, but inevitably collides with the opponent. For myself it is a penalty but careless play bordering on reckless. A millisecond later and the QPR...

Isn't that a penalty?

Bottom clip. I think this is careless/reckless and a penalty?

The trials became permanent. Sins bins are a success. They are a standard nationwide, except semi pro upwards. We now have a two tier game with differing laws. The FA would have to ask IFAB to create a universal game here???

Not used in all of football under the FA?

Astro boots are for specifically astro surfaces. Astros will wear out on concrete, and they will not provide as much grip as normal trainers. Astros on grass, don't bother you will slip and the boots will clog up. Return the astros, swap for those moulds, those studs are for harder grass...

Thanks James. watching games at western league level well head injuries are not treated the same. Players get the just get on with it from sponge man and refs just carry on with players not leaving the pitch.
