If they awarded 6 points at the end of the season to the team with the most collective green cards it would get seriously interesting!

Sounds like something you'd have in a primary school

If you watch Italian football, you'll know that the ball is kicked out for 'injuries' about 37 times per game as it is. Now they're going to reward players for doing so?! They'll be lucky if the ball is in play for 15 minutes per game.

Don't remember saying anything about how effective they've been as a footballing nation. Strange reply. |

Really? So you say the ball is in play not much in Italian football because of "injuries." Just asking how you think it is that they won in 1982 and 2006 (and before that) because they're such drama queens, right? Ever played football in Italy? Even for fun?

Who would want a green card? Unless it entitled you to a prize such as an all inclusive holiday to Majorca, a 48 inch Sony tv, a midi hifi, Corby trouser press etc. The game could be stopped briefly and a series of numbered squares would be shown on big screen. The assistant referee runs on with a button (cue the Bullseye style theme music) and the player uses said button to stop a cursor on one of the numbers on the screen revaling a prize behind it. Player punches the air when he wins the speedboat, assistant ref runs back off with the button and play continues. All this need not takes any longer than 15 seconds and will provide extra revenue through big screen adverts.

Amusing. But if you want to eradicate diving and cynical stuff from the game, this is a great carrot....but only if they introduce that solid points reward for collective green card fair play.

The ball is kicked out for 'injuries' very frequently. If you watched the modern Italian game you'd be aware of this. I've made no comment on the quality of the game. I wouldn't watch it if I thought it to be substandard in any sense. |

I'd have paid good money to see Vinney Jones in his heyday get a green card

Oh dear, drinkies? Don't worry, I was living in Rome when they won the World Cup in 1982, I had a photo-text from a mate holding the World Cup in 2006 hours after they'd won it, before that I'd spent many a happy week in Rome watching Gazza or talking to Sven Goran Eriksson. English football could learn a lot from Italian football. You'd think that absurd, but well done for watching a bit of Italian football on the telly.

I'd have paid good money to see Vinney Jones in his heyday get a green card Once went round a hospital with Vinny Jones when he was at Leeds. He came across a kid who had been run over by a bus and he looked at the lad and said: "You're supposed to get on the bus. Not under the bus." The kid laughed. Vinny then sat down and played some kind of board game or something with the kid for about half an hour. Top man. Deserved all the Hollywood riches he got. |
