When the Goalie is sent off

[public school boy]

I think it is wrong that a sent off keeper can be replaced by another recognised Keeper. The replacement keeper should be an outfield player instead as it as it used to be. If a keeper gets injured then he should be replaced by another.

All that would happen is that all clubs would register their players as outfield players.

If a defender is sent off, the manager is most likely to bring on another defender; what's the difference?

You could make a stipulation that a replacement goalie has to come from a player on the field at the time of dismissal and he cannot be substituted by a player from the bench. If he is to be replaced the same original rule applies.!

I think it would be far more of a punishment to not be able to replace the sent off keeper with another but your idea about not being able to replace a player that plays in the same position as the sent off player is a great idea.

I don't see the issue with it, think how you'd feel if PIG was sent off. Decent teams should be able to make the man advantage count anyway

If our Keeper is sent off then the same rule should apply, he should be replaced by an outfield player. With the choice we have at the moment having Brezovan or Casper in our goal would be a massive advantage for the other team!

I have no problem with a straight goalie for goalie replacement but feel the game should continue until a substitution is made as in normal play.

Someone has to go in goal and wear a different kit - would not speed things up - have to take off an outfield player any way.

The only real issue today is that we should have been able to take a quick free kick rather than have to wait 5 mins for a sub keeper to get ready.

All you need to do is stick a Goalkeeper's shirt on the replacement and put him in goal. No need to brink someone off the bench. There were no problems with it in the old days.

It's not broken, i see no need to fix it.

Can't argue fairer than that

I take it none of you are goalkeepers. Must be frustrating sitting on the bench for a game you have 0.25% chance of playing in and still having to get mentally and physically ready for.

Then when the regular goalie gets himself sent-off, imagine having your chance of action denied because the goalie now has to be some sap who isn't even a professional quality keeper.

What a retarded thread. NSC is full of so much drivel these days

 

[Buffalo Seagull]

Stupid idea. Let's say the goalie from one team and an outfield player from another team get into a bit of a fight and the ref sends both of them off. The team who had the goalie sent off would be at a massive disadvantage.

I agree. The sending off incident shouldn't count as a break in play for a substitution.

So they should be. Players might think before they are stupid enough to get sent off.

There are a few managers who don't have a keeper on the bench.
