Wide_Challenge3880Bto Soccer (Closing)@soccer.forum•Sin bins to be trialled in professional football as part of new IFAB law proposals | Football News | Sky SportsEnglish1·1 year agoThe key thing about sim binning is it SHOULD make it harder for a referee to fuck up.
This is because there’s a huge difference between a yellow card and a red card both in terms of what warrants one and also the consequences. The addition of a sim bin makes this difference smaller

Wide_Challenge3880BtoTennis@matchpoint.zone•Who will go the farthest in a grand slam next year?English1·1 year agoI feel Shelton because I imagine he’ll get at least 4th round.
I’d say Rafa has the biggest chance of winning a slam but he also might not even play in one

Two teams can have aspects of their team compared without equating their overall achievements and quality. To suggest otherwise is nonsensical

Wide_Challenge3880Bto Premier League@soccer.forum•Reason for Arsenal’s late game success?English1·1 year agoThey are the most dominant team in terms of field tilt and how deep the opponent sits back. Source
This means teams will be defending their own box for 80 minutes and will get tired. They are then more likely to switch off and make mistakes the longer the match goes and the more tired they become.
Another factor is that because they have a great record of scoring late on, the players will believe that they can score. The opposite is true that the opposition may believe they will concede late on because of Arsenal’s record. This was certainly the case with Manchester United under Fergie.

Wide_Challenge3880Bto Soccer (Closing)@soccer.forum•Men’s international all time topscorers following the last international breakEnglish1·2 years agoBringing Bobby Charlton who wasn’t a striker into this is just silly.
It all depends if he can keep up his current form this year. If he plays for 5 more years roughly, it’s 10 goals a year which is a big ask but not out of the question.

The standard at the bottom is so low and Everton are actually a decent team this year they should e fine.
Lucky it happened when they’ve got Dyche for a full 38 games and not Lampard

You definitely can.
However, wearing any clothing associated with your team is a huge no.
Depending on your characteristics will depend on your risk of being punched or beaten up if found out. What I mean by this is a football hooligan is less likely to take umbrage if you’re a child, a pensioner, a woman or have a broken arm for example. You’re still at risk but they’d sooner punch a 25 year old guy than an elderly lady.
Finally, you don’t have to go crazy when the home team scores but you probably have to stand up and clap. Likewise you have to feign annoyance or indifference if the away team scores.
