A (boring) bit of balance

As we read so many horror stories on here and about problem matches - quite understandably, because that's how we all learn and guide each other - just to re dress the balance thought I would just say that my Under 23 line last night was very enjoyable.

Good competitive game, 3 yellows, but well behaved players, benches and even spectators (about 50) made for an enjoyable game of football - well refereed, if you're reading this xxx!

Just thought it would be nice for the more inexperienced on here to realise that good fast, competitive football CAN exist without any officiating controversy whatsoever, with players accepting that a foul is just that, a foul, not an excuse to start WW3!:)

Fell asleep reading that Paul. Who wants to read about that?!?! ;)

Glad you enjoyed it. Its good to hear when people are enjoying their games. Makes a change from the doom and gloom of mass cons, referee abuse and fighting.

Exactly James - some newbies on here must wonder why we do it at times! Mind you I WAS thinking that on the way to the game stuck in the M25 road'works' - no work actually taking place of course. Got home in literally half the time it took to get there!
 
On Sunday, I did a Men's Prem game on a very sloppy pitch. Reckon I stopped the game no more than 6 times (soft FT's, no cards)
Absolutely zero dissent
I've obviously mastered the game ;)
Excellent - that's what we need more boring games like this! :p
 
It's funny how you can sometimes get spells of quiet or busy games... In my first three middles this season, I only had 3 yellows. The next three after that, I had 11 yellows and 5 reds. Then on Saturday, back to just 1 yellow. Hopefully another quiet one tonight 🤞
 
I have just gone through a similar patch with 4 reds in my last two games. 2 SFP, 1 DOGSO and 1 Offinabus.

I'm betting you have zero cards tonight. 😉

I did womens premier league futsal on Saturday and it was great. One yellow, good atmos, great hosts, enough action to keep me on my toes.
