Have we got a discipline problem?

Sorry BoF, but I think you missed the *disciple* e.g. religious reference, in post #7....

NSC never fails to surprise me with the tangental thread offshoots, sometimes from the second post

Unfortunately, there seems to be an awful lot of poor referees who will book a player for the first offence when a quick word would be sufficient.
If it's a real bone-cruncher, then fair enough, but IMO the standard of refereeing is so poor that it seems the only way they think they can bring discipline into a game is by throwing yellow cards at everyone from the off.

They seem to be even worse when they're on the telly, with all this "letting them know who's boss" crap.

I can't remember one really awful foul at the Leeds game and yet the ref deemed it necessary to book 9 players, ffs.

What a surprise to see the Pompey Thugs at the top of league, followed by Dirty Leeds....things never change!!
