This hasn't got legs.

[BillobShaisley]

6 legs obviously! Try to survive the round robin. Spider goalies.

As for reds or not.

We can talk about what the rules should be or whether it was a red, conflating the 2 arguments just gets messy.

Once a rule is a rule that must be how the game is refereed and we can argue the toss at the end of the season. What I would say is that there was a period of time when everyone just wanted consistency with these decisions. If you leave to much interpretation about what is/isn't reckless then you will never have that consistency. Lowest common denominator is the inevitable consequence of consistency as you need to remove nuance.

In short, careful what you wish for, you just might get it!

Would you use a real ball or a flyaway?

[Buzzo]

I’d watch a PL game with a flyaway

They should do a pre match lucky dip of what sort of ball they get to use.

Flyaway. Original leather brain destroyer. Modern.

Or a mould master (with it's little dimples) on a blaze pitch.

Maybe the mitre size 2's when they're down to the fabric once the pleather has come off, from playground games as a kid.

I'd forgotten about the mighty mould master

Playing with a mould master on a subzero day. You could break your foot kicking it if you got a bad connection.

When it's wet and it smacks you in the thigh, that hurst a lot.

[Buzzo]

I'm trying desperately to find a pic of those goalie gloves you got as a kid in the 80's. Sort of like kids gardening gloves with the plastic pimpled strips glued to the palm and fingers in strips.



****. That makes me sound like an old *******.

Yeah, you would be able to see the actual dimple and panel marks on your thigh.
