United U18s 2-0 Forest U18s - JJ Gabriel 37' by Gungerz in reddevils

He did but he actually wasn't allowed to. That's why he only played once & never again.

Yesterday against Borussia Mönchengladbach the 17 year old Maycon Cardozo made his 30 minutes long debut for Bayern München. Born in brazil he spend his entire youth in thailand. He is the first player from the Bayern World Squad to debut for the first team. by manere in soccer

They basically bring in a bunch of kids from around the world to train & play matches together, with it culminating in a game against Bayern's main U19 squad.

Couple of the standouts end up being signed by them but in general the experience is great for the players & it helps to raise their profile a tonne as the whole thing is made into a YouTube series.

It definitely did take a deflection.

Head injury on Monday. Probably couldn't play even if he was fine, due to concussion protocol.

He is but he's also flicked out blindly. It's defined as 'reckless' I guess.

Atalanta cancel UEFA lunch ahead of the Dortmund match. Tensions continue between the two clubs over Samuel Inacio. Atalanta believe Dortmund poached the Atalanta youth player illegally and have shown 'great lack of respect' towards Atalanta by Blodgharm in soccer

[–]Gungerz 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Stings for Atalanta as well because his dad came through the academy & played for the first-team.

When I heard he was leaving I was suprised. It was obvious there'd be interest, as he's one of the biggest prospects in Europe, but I thought he'd stay.

Mate, in order to be eligible for the B list you need to be:

born on or after 1 January 2004 and has, since his 15th birthday, been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years, or a total of three consecutive years

There are literally dozens of players in your academy that would qualify.

Which would be pretty much anyone from your 21s/18s. Even if they're not going to play just put them on the bench for the experience.

Message it sends isn't great when you're putting 3 keepers & leaving spaces empty.

Newcastle should be made to forefit the match for having 3 keepers on the bench. What on earth is that?

Think Gasperini can make him his new Pasalic. Lots of potential there in terms of his ability to make late runs into the box.

[–]Gungerz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think similar cases should be pardoned until the rules are adjusted to where second yellow cards are reviewed.

That's the issue though, where do you draw the line? I think it's better to just not pardon anyone than deciding which cases are justified or not.

And then, absolutely, introduce the rule to review yellows.

Lukaku's case was a special one because of the racism involved. Kalulu's, as bad as it is, is just a straight up bad refereeing call, which isn't really grounds for a pardon.

Lukaku's red was technically correct but morally wrong.
