so if sending a player off will unbalance a game, I presume this is valid for all games as we discuss principles, when would it suit you to send a player off? sounds like never to me.
you seem to forget you have the leisure to both have more time than the ref and also time to reflect in retrospect. you dont think those are two imporant factors? I reckon the ref. could have done better yesterday, yes he could. but at the same time I dont think he did anything wrong. that sums it up to me. what he could have done better and all that is irrelevant to me as long as he didnt commit any outright errors. also, whats this about a first goal being off-side? is this a joke? all players were online and there was no air between them and rules stipulate when in doubt give attackig player advantage.

This is exactly what I mean by having lost the plot. You don't save the game by ruining it. Booking Lehman and giving the goal would have acheived your objective above, and the game would have continued 11 against 11 - just as it is intended to be. From what I saw, the sending off didn't deter the other players anyway. Sending off should be a last resort. Anything else ignores the fact that the people watching are what it is all about. Not FIFA and not the referee. >I do disagree wtih your wording in saying the the REF. unbalanced the game.lehman is responsible for his doings, not the ref. The ref had a choice. He chose to penalise both teams !! How can you argue that sending a player off when you simply don't have to is not unbalancing a game ? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
