Re: Blue card & sin bins
To be honest none of that will matter when there aren't any left - and that is what every FA across Europe is worried about at the moment - from what I was told there were basically crisis talks around it last summer based on the data which was being seen.

Re: Blue card & sin bins
I should add - it might actually be worth some journalists digging into the origins of this stuff - and the ramp up in attention to participant behaviour this season in the pro game. To be honest though I doubt they will as frankly 95% of the problems are being generated or exacerbated by a media wh...

Re: Blue card & sin bins
What if a team getting beat has 2 men sent off then 1 in sin bin so only have 8 men on pitch does the game get abandoned ? No. The minimum number of players required on the field is 7 per team. ;) Okay Old Git, what happens if a team has 2 players sent off (down to 9) then 2 in the sin bin (now 7) ...

Re: Blue card & sin bins
Sin bins must have been in football for about 6 or 7 seasons now and became mandatory below Northern Prem level about 5 years ago. Sure it was 2017 for trials and 2019/20 season that they became mandatory? Only remember as that season our pool did Northern Prem (no sin bin) and North West Counties /...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
Precautionary usually means by club officials - often with a match official lined up if needed.
If there is absolutely no concern then there is no reason to get an official in.

Re: Brackley v Darlington
So you don't want expertise in running a football club at a director level you just want a new club secretary?
Due to errors made by our first secretary after reforming (Shildon and the international clearance thing - 10? years ago), and the next one after that (seat gate - I think - 6? years ago)

Re: Asante
If you listen to a podcast that Johnson did online, he goes in to depth on Gaskell signing for us, and it goes against what you are saying on here. What actually happened is somewhat irrelevant. Yes I am definitely suggesting that he used a player from 9 years ago as part of his deflection. The ful...

How long is Asante’s contract? Does anyone know - or think they know? If we had offered Beck what Asante is on he may not have left, £30k between signing and the end of the season has been mentioned.

I'd say top half but guess that is difference between thinking 50 points should be enough and thinking we need 54 to stay up.
Both look equally unlikely unfortunately.
