  • only allowing captains to speak to referees


Dunno, I kinda like that idea. I'm not a fan of teams crowding the ref trying to get him to make a decision.
It shouldn't be needed. If players were booked for hassling the ref, they'd stop it soon enough. Refs just need to have the balls to apply the laws that are already there.

Same with this : "a penalty kick is either scored or missed/saved and players cannot follow up to score to stop encroachment into the penalty area". If you want to stop encroachment into the area, then punish players for doing it. If your teammate scores a penalty and you're a yard inside the box, it's no goal and a free kick to the opposition. If a defender's in the box, any missed penalty is retaken. (Same with keepers who come off their line). Anyone guilty of either of those two should get a hefty boot in the baws from their teammates and wouldn't even require the ref to actively manage the players' behaviour. And they can be shown real time on screen in most stadiums so that players have no basis to protest the decision.

Saw a South American ref dealing really well with the crowding thing.

The second players came near him in a crowd, he pulls out his red card, and holds it down at his side, telling them to go away.

Amazing the reaction it gets from them. They all back off instantly.

SPFL obviously using the ZX Spectrum and are not for changing.

Hearts on decision to give them two home games in August when they said they couldn't play them: “The club previously agreed with the SPFL that no home games would be scheduled for Tynecastle prior to September 9th 2017. However the computer model used by the SPFL could not accommodate this scheduling."

Almost had tears in my eyes watching that, Totti is a top bloke and very humble and could have went elsewhere to make as much money as he wanted (although obviously he's not going to be lacking in that respect) but he could have and perhaps should have won far more than he did however that could only have been achieved by moving...he didn't want to he got his reward by playing for the team he loves...perhaps the last of a dying breed?

Read about this during the weekl it led me onto numerous articles about the torture tactics used in NK, quite unbelievable that an entire country is governed in such a way.

The guy in that particular story was done by the authorities for trying to nick a poster just before leaving for home too... 10 years 're-education' he got!!!! The place is effing nuts.

Stéphane Paille has passed away, on his 52nd birthday. Surely not the most famous French international but he was a tremendous striker and a great prospect in the post Platini depression for French football. His lifestyle and personal issues cost him a fantastic career. After he left his youth club Sochaux, he never really settled anywhere, but is still remembered by football fans over 40 for having made one of the most exciting attacking pair with Cantona at Montpellier.

I met Paille when he played a French Cup game against an amateur side I played with, in Brittany. He had sneaked out the team bus after the game to join the celebrations, and his coach spent the night visiting pubs to find him. :lol:

His problems, alcohol and drug being a symptom, tarnished the end of his career. After being jailed for two months on drugs charges, he retired at 30, only to make a last attempt at Hearts quickly ended by failing a drug test. He still managed to made a career in various coaching jobs, once offered a scouting position by Zidane at Real.

I'm really sad for him.

Our very own Boretim as you may know has written a book about that famous day at Love Street and it has just been named in a list of books that must be read this summer on the Eurosport Italy site. Some man is Boretim. :clap: :clap: :clap:
