Yes. Of course. A captain being given a second yellow card for other people's misdemeanours is very reasonable.

He's talking about Premiership Rugby academies.

Where did we say that?

It was arguing that if a Penalty is awarded and players continue to mouth off - that the Penalty decision should be reveresed to a freekick.

The stuff with the captain getting carded was elsewhere.

Sorry think I scroll too fast for my own good.

Foster's name change. Which Mod was responsible for that ?

For me, only captains should be allowed to speak to the ref (like what happens in rugby, IIRC) Some refs though clearly have buckled under player pressure, over the years. I'd also go as far as to say players will be encouraged to pressurise the referee by their manager/coach.

The only two that I haven't seen take any rubbish are Colina and that Dutch (I think) referee who is 6'7 and built like a brick shithouse.

The namechange Thought it might be exchampsfan at first.

Umm would you like to re-read that and see if it makes any sense the second time round.

It is ability based in England as well, it is just that it is predominantly played by the higher classes.
Our highest capped forward of all time was a former hod carrier. </BLOCKQUOTE>

It does as I know at least 3 people whose parents have paid their way into Premiership academies, whilst other better players of the same age don't even get trials. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah I know it happens loads in rugby. Who you know matters just so so so much.

Also the F.A should not issue fines as with the current injection of cash, the fines are pointless, maybe a 2 point deduction?

I thought it was Neil Purvis, as someone referred to him as Little Geordie a few days back.
