    Absolutely appalling referee performance last night-the worst I've ever seen ( in many years of watching shite referees). Our defence is the issue, quite clearly. However, I'm also not sure as a unit they would have felt confident with the young guy between the sticks. Can't be easy being thrown in to a game like that but his lack of confidence must have been an influence on the 4 in front of him. 

    He's 28, 29 in April.

    I've not playerd football above a free-for-all level at school so am no expert on behind the scenes but do teams train as defensive units or are the goalkeepers and back line treated as seperate?

    When I've wandered by it seems to be the whole group doing routines. Sometimes the younger lads will stay behind for extra drills.

    You don’t concede three goals at home that soft and win football matches.

    Can’t blame tonight’s defeat on the (admittedly poor) officiating. A dreadful keeper and two inexcusable failures from the centre backs cost us.

    Well you can, in that if we are leading we aren't playing such a highline we don't lose their second goal as the dynamic of the game changes.

    Your first paragraph is spot on. 3 goals lost in the last 3 games 😬

    True. I live in Warrington and am 18 hours into a 48 hour shift at work. I was there in spirit.

    The starting a thread early is every f***ing time

    When there is no actual chat, why does it matter?

    It gives a chance for dome relevant discourse rather than the usual diatribe in here.

    If you don't like it, scroll past.

    I also don't believe you're doing a 48 hour shift. It isn't even legal.

    Not sure if this is the right solution but I do appreciate that there is a problem which it would be helpful to address. Speaking neutrally as a fan of open attacking football it always annoys me when a player beats another player with a bit of trickery, or a player is sprung forward through an enterprising series of quick passes, a defender will often wrestle the player in possession to the ground and stifle the promising move at birth.
     

    Occasionally that defender is the last man and is rightfully red carded. However, 90% of the time the offending player is lauded as “taking one for the team”. Indeed a player can often be criticised for not fouling an opponent early on in a move that leads to an attack. A yellow card does not really help the other team (unless it goes to make up a red). Therefore the defending side has killed the move and got away Scot free. 
     

    There is definitely a case for a more effective remedy to discourage cynical fouls. Not sure if the blue card is the best idea, but willing to give it a try.

     

    What is wrong with using the referee's decision and applying them based on that? They can have a word, issue a yellow, issue a yellow and advise any further foul will result in a dismissal or send the bugger off. Why does making another option help anything?

    Have you considered the potential issue with a player having to warm up again and a higher potential for injuries?

    I read it has been used for dissent issues at Sunday league football in England but does not seem to be the reason for expansion into the senior/ professional game.
