It's interesting that games at The Glades were on. Hampton, next door, cancelled the kids games which were scheduled for Saturday morning.
-
Most of the local games lower down the pyramid were unaffected and I spent my Saturday afternoon.here. FC Shush v Inkberrow in the Midland Football League divsiion three (step eight – the lowest in the area) was my choice, not least because the home side are a headline writer’s dream
Yeah, right! I'd be interested to know what real ales they had on in the Club House, Dave 'never one to miss a trick' Woodhall?
-
Same here my Under 14's v Glades was also cancelled by league directive
Maybe they were expecting a larger crowd for our game ?

The sin bin is something, I have thought for sometime, that should be brought into football.
-
It is used in Leisure Leagues. Works pretty well.

I think it would be terrible. Bookings are much more subjective than red cards, we would end up even more shafted by referees. Think how many times Grealish gets kicked per game before referees even think about reaching for their pockets, for instance. Plus you would have to have a US-sport style stopped clock or people would just time waste for all of the ten minutes. You get two or three bookings per side and football becomes unwatchable.

Thank you that interesting read.
I like hearing about this sin bin ?! Though I don't believe that's football and it was a men's adult game so I don't know how they can deviates from the rules of football
And also the names of teams have never heard about which always interesting .
What's a interesting idea about the league is that interim thing like they do in boxing.

What is leisure league ?
Is it actually 11 aside and is it not affiliated to a league football .
I think it could be good idea to have sin bins however in the article it sounds like that was the 8th league of football and people cannot make up new rules in game of football if a serious league.
The other team can feel unjust when a player is only sin binned rather than sent off.

In the Central Warks Kids Leagues this weekend, lads games were cancelled by league directive, girls games could still be played. Worth pointing out that they are two separate leagues and the directive from the FA to leagues so far is 'play if you want to'.

Thank you .sounds fun.

As I scrolled down I saw the headings and I'm so virus minded I I misread the 'view our vacancies' as view our vaccines!!

There was an adult game there, which I assume was Leamington Hibs.

The sin bin currently in use at grass roots levels only applies to dissent, not fouls.

Eeh god, I played for them for a season many many moons ago

Thanks, didn't realise that. I still wouldn't be in favour, that rule isn't applied even vaguely consistently. I seem to remember Wayne Rooney would spend the entirety of each game mouthing off at the officials and never get booked for it while he was playing for Man U, while a Villa player would get a yellow card for saying "are you quite sure old chap?"
It would just be another way of shafting Villa... and I don't see how it is workable unless you stop the clock. If my team were down to ten men, I'd just instruct the goalkeeper to go down clutching his head for ten minutes.

If he went to clutch his head Reina would miss.

All grassroots football now cancelled

It's interesting that games at The Glades were on. Hampton, next door, cancelled the kids games which were scheduled for Saturday morning.
The Glades was the West Midlands Fire Service ground.

It's a better ground than Hampton's next door but doesn't get used as much.

The football pitch was always well looked after, Dave, certainly better that the rugby pitch that was behind the club house
If I remember correctly it was the WMFS that had the stand built, at some considerable cost, only to sell the ground not long after.

I don't know about the stand being built but I don't think there's a rugby pitch there now. There's a bit of waste ground leading to Hampton's ground and junior pitches between them.

That's not waste ground
It's where we train (ed)

I meant the bit where you can walk betwen the grounds.
