Port Said Red Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Do we think the FA would introduce that move from the Euro's into our game, and would it be welcomed?

BCFCGav Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 They'll introduce it, enforce it for about a month, then forget it and move on. A la 10 minutes stoppage-time. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until there is something the players don't understand in terms of a decision that has been made and they want clarification from the ref, but before they can question it, you have to jog back, speak to their keeper who happens to be wearing the armband, get the keeper to go to the other end of the pitch to address the ref, get the clarification, communicate that back with his players and then get back to the other end of the pitch so the game can resume. Get the argument that you could make 'well, don't make the keeper the captain then' - but surely that's for the manager/players to decide who is best to lead them on the pitch, not the EFL/FA.

Silvio Dante Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 There’s also the point as to whether, if Joe Williams is to skipper the side, any ref can understand a bloody word he says. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the argument that you could make 'well, don't make the keeper the captain then' - but surely that's for the manager/players to decide who is best to lead them on the pitch, not the EFL/FA. The simple answer is not to make the goalkeeper captain. Many fans agree that the keeper as captain isn’t a good idea due to him stuck at one end of the stadium and not able to lead by example. If the FA were to adopt it then it would filter down the football levels and reach schoolboy level who as we all know are seriously influenced by professional football on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about that - managers have curbed a players poor disciplinary record by giving them the responsibility of captaincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it worked well, and speeded up the game around free kicks etc It's been the rule in rugby forever. The ref will talk to the player whose actions caused the incident, often to explain the decision. But if the team want to talk to the ref, it has to be via the captain. AND the captain talks respectfully to the ref (and vice versa) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, in rugby, if the captain is a back, there's usually a nominated forward to whom the ref can talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 1970 this rule was introduced. In a game at Brum, a free kick was award against City. Dickie Rooks went up to the Ref "I'm the captain; what was this kick awarded for please"? With that the Ref signalled the kick to go ahead and it went where Dickie would have been standing and City lost 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe jordans teeth Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Let’s just have the refs miked up and it would solve all the problems,a player effing and Jeffing or a ref making a decision,in the ground I’m sure all of us would pay a extra £2 to listen to it rather than being confused most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Can’t believe the ‘Captains only’ rule hasn’t already been announced. Maybe they’re delaying it as part of a post-Safegate dual rule change combining the Captains rule with one that involves shooting any player on sight that pointlessly passes the ball backwards or sideways. Then Southgate’s legacy would have been worth the pain of watching all those friendly matches over the last 8 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long ago was that?Women's football may not be of a standard of men's football in some regards but people can still enjoy it.In what way is it not the same game with regards to respecting officials and not blatantly cheating constantly?What is different?
