Alternative to the triple punishment rule

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Football can be horribly unfair.

It happens. Situations such as the one last night has benefited us before and will do so again in the future.

T'is life.

Do you know that football used to be a great game before they started fcuking about with the rules ? Stop trying to change the rules cos they don't agree with something your perception of fairness - we don't do sin bins, we don't do awarding goals instead of pens and we don't do any of the other proposed changes mentioned here so its best we accept that and deal with it

I agree.

I don't even want video technology in football. I do like the controversy of football. Yes, it hurt like a *word censored* when things go against The Arsenal but it gives us all something to moan about, something to talk about and at time, something to deter the fact we've played shite.

Creating alternative rules such as sin bins just sounds bloody stupid. If a team doesn't wanna go down to ten men, don't go in for stupid tackle, if it is mistimed then, well shit happens.

On the point of the goalkeeper always being the last man, yes, that's more often the case, however, if he clearly takes a player out then he deserves to go off. As would a defender or any other outfield players. Creating special rules for a certain type of player is unnecessary.

Yeah it was MUCH MUCH better when the goalie couldnt handle the ball

Its all well and good being King Canutes but FFS the rules were invented before cheating f**kers came along and rolled over as soon as someone breathes on them. FFS the rules were invented before video or even cameras other than pinhole ones came along. In the old days players actually sometimes admitted if the desision was wrong.

Yeah "dont go in for the tackle" WTF you dont expect a fellow pro to roll around like a prat after a fair challenge- its wrecking the game cant you see?

Now if a ball goes out of play all the players put their hands up instantly claiming their ball- its total cr*p.

Sin binning is a good way of temporarily taking a player off the field, its not just rugby that has the scheme, its water polo , ice hockey too- no reason why it shouldnt happen. No reason why diving f**kers arent retrospectively done for faking and get a 3 match ban- its just that the farts at the top are too gutless

[skizz_b]

I see it this way:

Where the goalkeeper is last man and the foul takes place inside the box - yellow card and penalty

Where the goalkeeper is last man and the foul takes place outside the box - red card

Where an outfield player is last man and the foul takes place inside the box - red card and penalty

Where the outfield player is last man and the foul takes place outside the box - red card

EDIT:

Scrap that. Just do not make it an automatic red card offence for the goalkeeper to be sent off if he is the last man. It really is that simple. For outfield players the rule should be maintained.

Goal line tech is as far as it should go. Is it a goal, yes/no. That problem has been solved I dont want to feel like I'm watching a rugby match waiting for a decision about whether someone fouled someone.

So because things arent done now, there should be no concept of trying, or even considering to change them for something that might be better. Thank fuck you werent at the forefront of the industrial revolution.

Fuck change. Change is for winos in the street.

I agree with Rodders. The rule should be changed so that goalkeepers can only be booked, not sent off.

That's it - the rest stays the same. Simple and fair.

Based on the time it took for goal-line technology to be implemented, even if we did one day get a sin bin, it likely won't be until 2024 at the earliest, so this solves things in the interim.

[rodders999]

To be fair the keeper not being allowed to pick up a back pass revolutionised the game. Anyone watch re-runs of Italia '90? Absolute muck

What if the goalkeeper prevents the 'clear goalscoring opportunity' with a two footed drop kick to the forwards head?

Red card for dangerous play

[rodders999]

What I was advocating was a yellow card for the type of incident the other night, keeper comes out, clips the attacker and brings him down. On any other part of the pitch that would be a yellow card at worst. If someone is going to get decapitated that's a different story obviously

A two-footed challenge is a red card, regardless of what position they play.

We're talking here about 'technical' fouls that prevent goal-scoring opportunities.
