  • Blue Cards

    From Bruce@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 11 00:16:33 2024
    Roger, do you like these blue cards they are using now?

    What does dissent mean in this context?

    How about cynical?

    I haven't pasid that much attention to it as yet since its basically only on paper here yet.

    I can see why the powers that be in world football would like it but like most of these ideas (like VAR for example) whilst undeniably having some good points they also slowwwwwwwwwwww the game down way too much

    abusing or excessively arguing with the referee, which has become a
    growing problem at amateur level and beyond

    How about cynical?

    otherwise known as a professional foul; for instance when a player
    deliberately and illegally tackles or stops an opponent who is
    advancing on goal

    this blue card will not be used in the English Premier League next
    season, but may be used in F.A. Cup matches (a major knockout
    competition entirely separate from weekly soccer/football League
    matches)

    Okay, that makes sense.

    Okay, I figured one meant intentional, but I don't get how the word cynical = intentional. In high school and college basketball they have an intentional foul which is two foul shots PLUS you keep the ball. The NBA does not have that.

    I like the blue card thing. It's like a penalty in hockey where the guilty party has to go to the penalty box and his team has to play short a man until the penalty is over. In fact, they should send a player off for 5 minutes for a yellow card and 10
    minutes for a blue card.

    It couldn't have been much worse if every fucking West Ham player had been sent off just now
