    Almeria Goalkeeper Brutal Kick To Head - No Red Card

    Anyone know if the player made a Lazarus style recovery on the sideline? Or was it genuine agony? Looked bad. Never can tell with your modern footballer. Nailed on red card though.

    Why tolerate it?

    Rugby does have some issues creeping in, but the level of fines for both clubs and players is very high. Abuse of referees by clubs,players or supporters is not tolerated and occur a lot less than football. Local level league clubs even are risking major fines if their supporters abuse a ref-...

    Tracking your distance

    Marco Van Basten - Scrap offside and yellow cards

    Initially I quite liked the idea of no offside. Then I thought about it. For a lone ref, no offsides would make the game near impossible under some circumstances. Box to box punts??? I know ref tennis can happen as the lotg are currently, but strikers rooted inside each other's 6 yard box...

    Thoughts? (Aka 5 red cards thread!)

    If nothing else he is consistent. :) It was always going south right from the first incident in the video. As an aside, what the hell kinda prison (?) league is this? All the players are built like brick outhouses?

    Wisdom

    due to a knee tweak on Friday nights game I got to watch a local cup game Saturday. Talking to some subs for one team at half time they were telling me about their game the week before and a ref (a good guy I might add) I know and how he handled the game. "He did this and that and showed...

    Man Utd vs West Ham - rooney

    The ref Mike Jones let down every referee in the country when after incorrectly awarding a fk against Rooney (it happens, player conned him, no real fault there), he then correctly cautioned the caveman for dissent for his reaction. Sadly, he then did sweet fa when the camera caught Rooney...
