See, if we had a PROPER striker

[pjlincs]

A striker such as Olly G who can play in goal when your keeper is blue-carded would be an asset.

Otherwise: Raya gets blue card. Outfield player subbed, Rambo comes on. 10 mins later Raya returns. Either he or Ramsdale then plays outfield or if any subs and windows left, one of them is subbed for an outfield player.

We would end up with three goalkeepers on the pitch.

You're thinking about it too much, pj.

First of all given that blue cards are for cynical play or dissent the chances of a keeper getting one are pretty small. Other than taking a player down when he's through on goal, when was the last time a keeper got a yellow? They're pretty rare.

And I'm sure the rule would be nothing more than if the keeper gets a blue the team has to elect an outfield player to take the 10 min off.

Which part of 'when he's through on goal' did you not understand, PRSB?

Apart from the fact that I didn't write that, good point.

What are you on about, PRSB?

On a serious note, is time wasting not a cynical attempt to stop play?

When a team is really out to run the clock down the goalkeeper is often the worst culprit.

Keepers regularly get yellow cards for time wasting.
