Woman's Football - it's fcuking shit! Plus they act like blokes

[sandman]

Charlton vs Millwall.

[leww_rfc]

Players who dive on the ball, grabbing it, already assuming they've won the free kick.

- The fourth official, who does absolutely fcuk-all

Really?

They actually do. First they are "sub" in case ref or lino get injured but they also ref the managers and are the point of call to explain decisions etc so the managers/coaches aren't shouting at the 3 concentrating on the game.

Here read this


Fourth official assisting with a substitution.

In usual practice, the fourth official assists the referee in the following ways:
Assisting with administrative functions before, during and after the match;

Assessment of players' equipment;

Ensuring substitutions are conducted in an orderly manner;

Notifying the referee of the details of the substitution, by means of numbered boards or electronic displays (where supplied);

Notifying the teams and spectators, by means of numbered boards or electronic displays where supplied, of the amount of time added on at the end of each half, after having been advised of this by the referee;

Acting as the contact point between the match officiating crew and any non-participants (such as stadium managers, security personnel, broadcast crews, and ball retrievers);

Maintaining decorum in the teams' technical areas and interceding in situations where coaches, bench personnel, or substitutes become agitated;

In practice, the fourth official becomes a key member of the officiating team, who can watch the field and players and advise the Referee on situations that are going on out of his sight. The fourth official keeps an extra set of records, and helps make sure the Referee does not make a serious error such as cautioning the wrong player, or giving two cautions to the same player and forgetting to send off the player.

The fourth official played a significant role in the 2006 World Cup Final when fourth official Luis Medina Cantalejo informed referee Horacio Elizondo of the actions of France's Zinedine Zidane, resulting in Elizondo showing Zidane a red card and sending him from the field. French manager Raymond Domenech accused Cantalejo of using the replay board to initiate the process that led to Zidane's ejection, which would have broken FIFA rules, but FIFA maintained that Cantalejo did not breach any rules and acted properly.

The fourth official serves as a replacement official in the event that one of the other officials (referee or assistant referees) can not continue officiating (usually through injury).

In situations where an assistant referee is unable to continue, the fourth official replaces that assistant referee. In situations where the referee is unable to continue, the fourth official replaces the referee directly, or the senior assistant referee replaces the referee, with the fourth official in turn taking an assistant's position. Competition rules are supposed to clarify which of these options is to occur. If for some reason it is not stated, then typically the official with the most refereeing experience (either the fourth official or the senior assistant referee) will replace the referee.

Great thread. We've basically come to the conclusion that football is fcking shit.

Im going to add clubs going into Administration. Its basically - I tell you what, you've just spent millions of pounds of money you didn't have, cheated everyone else in the process, and now you only want to pay 10p in the pound and ruin the businesses and in some cases charities in the process? Ok, nevermind, we'll give you a pathetic 10 point deduction and forget all about it.

Clubs that are bankrupt should be kicked out of the league. End of story.

[No Fixed Abode]

Huge Derby County flags in the away end to hide the small away support.

[sandman]

Surprised you didn't go with the old "fans dressed as seats" routine. Good to see you're changing up the act a little bit.

[Handsome Man]

I have great difficulties with the timing for the second half starting at 45, when we have already probably got up to 47 and beyond in the first half.

German teams are completely unwatchable in international and European competitions.

The absence of Graeme LeSaux from telly punditry is sorely felt.

Not really a hate, but the Premier League is a bit shit at the moment. We have some very good Belgians, Van Persie isn't too far past his best and Ozil is great, but there aren't many players to get excited over.

Referees getting the blame for red cards is a bit rubbish, and referees being praised for keeping their cards in the pocket is even worse, because they'll only show common sense for the bigger clubs.

We haven't though. We've had 45 + 2 (or whatever)

[Man Friday]

Most fans, including our own.

Imbecilic, boorish, predictable, unoriginal, tiresome, tedious, ignorant. Masters of cliché with herd mentality.

So basically Feck All of any consequence unless an official needs to be replaced. Sounds like a Labour Govt Public Sector non-job.

David Moyes is soon going to be in this list for me. Slowly turning into another fergie, and soon he will be as hypocritical and Contradictory as fergie was

But, that seems to depend on who they are.

regardless its a +1

I think he has always been that way inclined, it's just his new job means journalists hang on his every word as manager of Man Yoo. Probably why Fegie wanted him in as he too cannot lose with grace and just admit that the other team were better on the day. He likes a referee decision to hang his teams deficiencies on as much as Fergie ever did.

[bobby1413]

Non football fans always go on about players dis respecting the ref. I think this is something which is overly exaggerated... however...

It does happen (obviously), and too often.

1) I don't mind protests but not surrounding the ref

2) I HATE players swearing at the ref. You can lip read them going "OH FU*K OFF", etc... in a really aggressive way

3) I can't stand them motioning for a card to be given

It's something that spoils football for me.

I watch a lot of super league. I won't do the old stupid argument of "why can't they be like them", but It's so much easier to watch because they don't all act like spoilt brats.

[Mr Optimist]

Reminds me of another one going off at a slight tangent.....!

Bland tv interviews with players...."stevie g" ....going err and saying "you know" every 10 seconds. Just pleased to get the result, team performance, taking each games as they come blah blah blah.

At Derby, board goes up for 6 minutes

Bloke behind me goes "rubbish"
I point out that Morrison was down for 3 minutes and both teams have had 3 subs. That's at least 5 if not the full 6 minutes.
"Well, why is it always only a minute or so in the first half"

No subs maybe?

Jesus. Fucking. Corbett.
