Looks like they're trying to neutralise all the shithouse time wasters to me.

Preston are not going to be happy

Hadn't realised the scoreboards will keep going after 45/90 minutes so you can see the added time. Not exactly the biggest problem but I'm glad they've finally started doing it.

The efl have made some smashing decisions this year, from the added time, to the scoreboard even the ball balls having a spare ball being required to keep the game flowing and to have as much of 90 mins as football as possible, rather than the standard 45 mins football 45 mins set pieces.

Most the league tbh, us included. Wilson had some classic shithouse moments last season.

Yeah could never understand why they didn't do it when they introduced those big scoreboards, it's only took about 20 years.

I think it's only a 1 game ban for the 1st red, then it doubles. I've just read that for 15 bookings by the 38th game is a 3 game ban so assume every 5 bookings the ban increases by 1

So 5 - 1 (6), 5 - 2 (13), 5 - 3 (21), 5 - 4 (30), 5-5 (40), 5 -6 (46 - we’ll 51 including the ban rolling over)

So I reckon 30 is the most you can get, unless you can get two yellows towards the end maybe for 31.

Love how me just taking the piss has sparked an actual debate and a possible answer to the debate

Playoffs included?

Well done for showing your workings out

 

[Tommo1993]

Part of the new regulations they put out t’other day. They will be punishing time wasting a lot quicker than previously.

I think if you got to 29, then got two yellows in your final game. You’d come back for the second leg, then could get another two. So that’s 33 max including play offs.

Was looking forward to the first game of the season, then remembered Russel Martin's teams play the most boring football in Europe.

I think if a player got 2 yellows in a match after having 28 previously in the season they would surely get more than a 1 game ban

Yeah that’s where it all gets a bit fuzzy. I suspect after a three game ban they’d start wanting 5 and 10 game bans cos you’re taking the puss. I’m fairly certain at that point there’s a level of discretion on behalf of the EFL.

Dull as dishwasher unless you have prime Messi buzzing about

 

[ccfcchris]

Also for all of Southamptons domination they’re only 1-0 up

And for that very reason, I've cashed out my bet.

 

[shmmeee]

Still in the playoffs. Good stuff.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Shef Wednesday have woken up

 

[procdoc]

Not much pace in this Wednesday team

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Southampton- see swansea last season

 

[Evo1883]

Exactly the sort of goal they'd score tbh

 

[procdoc]

Game on

I don't know about a player but these new rules around the technical area might see Adi get near that number

All old men

 

[fernandopartridge]

Think Russell Martin was a strange appointment really. For all his nice football he hasn't achieved anything.

Surprised the owls have scored tbh but don’t matter how shit they’re most teams are a threat from set pieces, just remember reading last season vs us,
1 corner
1 shot
1 goal
Ft 1-0 reading

 

[procdoc]

Wednesday are a big side, will score a few from set pieces

Like Vincent kompany, managed 1 club before Burnley and didn’t achieve anything in Belgium.

 

[ovduk78]

Worst yellow card offenders from last season were Cooper (Millwall), Lindsay (Preston) & Bielik (Birmingham) so maybe we should keep an eye on how well (?) they do. Our worst was Fadz, then Sheaf. Hamer was only booked 7 times.

To be fair to Kompany when he took over at Anderlecht most of their better players had been sold and he was left with a lot of players just out of their academy

Well Martin managed a Swansea team with a decent squad and an MK team with a decent squad at their respective levels and got no better than mid table

Considering how well Southampton started this has gone a bit shit

 

[procdoc]

I don’t see anything to fear about playing Southampton. Had a lot of possession but created fuck all really

 

[Evo1883]

Can't believe I'm going to say this , but our pace should be able to deal with them

think Martin don’t understand the game of football…

in order to win you need to score more than your opponents in the allotted time.

not who can make the most passes

 

[Cov98]

They look susceptible to a counter attack with how high of a line they play

 

[The Great Eastern]

Love to see all the time wasting jumped upon but noticed the Wednesday keeper was taking way over the 6 seconds of possession in the first half. 15 or so seconds is taking the piss
