It is normal mechanics for a low dive.

I know of a player who received a five year ban for violent conduct. Is there a maximum length of time a player could be banned?

Have you had challenges with the glare of floodlights while wearing contact lens?

It was an answer to the refs post about the players touch, the one he has yet to take. I think a defender was going to get around him. Its still some distance to goal. Lot to do.

Maybe. And still have a lot to do.

No dogso. Distance to goal, having to delay to control a bouncing ball and a defender rapidly closing the distance to cover.

I have no conviction ... Looking at the clip (and this) again I do see reckless. This was the linesman spotting this. The ref initially signalled goal.

Slowing the clip down I see a careless lunge from the Bristol City player for the ball resulting in contact with the keepers body. Not sure what caliber bullet was used to make contact with the keepers head!!

3.58 Initially I though the ref had made an error, but I think that is a careless foul on the keeper?

It was a point about how vision and the brain works.

Yes. This is not a might. So there is a not. What you have identified is that a child is not an adult. I have twenty five years experience in youth coaching. I have thirty years experience supporting vulnerable children. We should not treat children as adults. Children behave in inappropriate...

Yes I and have mentioned age specific football, and football has age related priorities. Children are not mini adults and should not be treated as such. .

It was a point about visons function. On a football pitch if a player is in the Keepers vision the player does not turn into Casper the ghost, the brain will react because the player is there. And if peripheral vision was wide .. We wouldn't have to turn our heads, you would be seeing...

If an obstacle is in the keepers binocular vision the keeper cannot have full vision. This is not how vision and the brain works. If a obstacle is in your binocular visions path, an effect is that your brain will consider its existence. In normal circumstances the brain filters out what it...

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.
