  • Blue cards.
  • Blue cards.
  • Is there anything more infuriating than the unnecessary fiddling with the beautiful game?
  • The poetry that is football is so wonderful because, partly, it is so simple.
  • It doesn't need this constant reinvention.
  • It doesn't need to constantly reimagine itself.
  • We don't need to find ways to improve a game that is already perfect.
  • The reason why it managed to capture the hearts of so many people, the reason why
  • We all love football so much is because it is already perfect.
  • Yes, there are flaws, but perfection is imperfect by its very definition.
  • And sometimes those flaws allow us to have debates, allow us to have conversations, and allow us to imagine the impossible.
  • Now, they're trying to eradicate that.
  • They are trying to bring in something called a blue card.
  • I am so upset by this.
  • I am in Las Vegas.
  • I am in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.
  • Have a look at this view.
  • You won't believe it.
  • Look, it's like I'm staying in a castle.
  • Can you see that?
  • Yeah, that's where I am.
  • And I've just, well I'm just on my way out for breakfast and I've seen this nonsense that is being spoken about with regard to blue cards.
  • Now look, I do understand that there are some challenges that need more.
  • There are some challenges that are worthy of more than a yellow and perhaps less than a red.
  • However, that is up to the referee to come up with a solution.
  • The referee's responsibility is to create the situation that is correct in that circumstance.
  • The example that was used in the meeting.
  • was Chiellini's foul on Bakayo Saka.
  • He would have been given a blue card.
  • Why blue, by the way?
  • Blue makes absolutely no sense.
  • Is it for the visibility in the stadium?
  • Because perhaps an orange card, which would make more sense.
  • An orange card could be mistaken for maybe a red or a yellow.
  • I don't know.
  • I really don't.
  • But Chiellini's challenge would be the definition of a blue card.
  • Surely you just send him off or you give a yellow.
  • We don't need another layer.
  • What about we need another layer in between that then?
  • You know, it's more than a sin bin.
  • It's more than the ten minutes that the blue card would mean.
  • So if you do get a blue card, by the way, what it will mean is that you will be removed from the field of play for ten minutes if you commit a cynical foul or show dissent.
  • Think about our referees.
  • Think about how our referees already behave.
  • Think about the power that we already place in referees and how, in some examples, it has already gone to those referees' heads.
  • Let's face it, we cannot even get the yellow card decisions correct.
  • We cannot even get the red card decisions correct.
  • This season has probably been the worst, the standout, strikeout season for getting things wrong.
  • Think about what happened when Liverpool went to Tottenham.
  • That has to be the biggest, ridiculous example of
  • I don't want to call it cheating because I don't think it's cheating but it is most certainly incompetency.
  • Total and utter ineptitude.
  • They knew that the decision was wrong.
  • They knew that the goal should have stood.
  • Luis Diaz, his goal should have stood.
  • Liverpool should have three more points and they should have also had their unbeaten record for a lot longer.
  • They don't have it because of refereeing incompetence.
  • As if a blue card is going to help.
  • Let's just make sure that the referees are better at their jobs.
  • We don't need to worry about
  • inventing these new, fangled ideas to help them improve.
  • And also, it will cause way more problems than it will solve.
  • Like, there's going to be so many grey areas for referees.
  • It's just another thing that they could get wrong.
  • It's another example for us to be talking in the pub after the game, or online after the game, and we will be debating whether it should have been a blue, or whether it should have been a red, or whether it wasn't quite worthy of a blue, it should have been a yellow.
  • It's just another layer that these referees do not need.
  • It also
  • If you believe that the point of football is entertainment, if you think that entertainment is a prerequisite of football managers and football players, and maybe even the football governing body, this isn't going to help, is it?
  • Because if somebody gets a blue card, what are they going to do?
  • What are their team going to do?
  • They're going to sit back and they're going to defend for their lives for ten minutes.
  • We aren't going to have an expansive game of football for those ten minutes because
  • a team will know that they're down to ten men and it will be rectified in ten minutes.
  • So they clog up the game, they'll time waste, they'll make sure that nothing happens and effectively the team that go down to ten men will just try and neutralise the game for ten minutes.
  • So we lose ten minutes worth of football.
  • Also, I don't understand why we are trying to make football contactless.
  • There is a joy in a heavy challenge.
  • There is a joy in, sometimes, seeing players have disagreements with the referees.
  • I think that everybody's so hypocritical about it.
  • One of the most iconic moments of the Premier League era is when Roy Keane and David Beckham and I think Jad Stam and Gary Neville, when they're charging towards the referee and the referee's backing off.
  • I'm not suggesting that we want to see scenes like that.
  • I'm not even suggesting that those scenes are acceptable.
  • They're not.
  • That image is kind of flagged as being an iconic moment at the Premier League.
  • When they do Premier League years, that's in it.
  • And now we're trying to make it so that you can't disagree with a referee.
  • Dissent will get you removed from the field.
  • That doesn't make any sense to me.
  • Especially when you look at some of these decisions that referees are making.
  • Referees are making totally inexplicably poor decisions.
  • As a footballer, you have the right to query that.
  • So query is another version of dissent, isn't it?
  • If I query something, am I dissenting to your initial appraisal?
  • Perhaps I am.
  • And I get sent off for legitimately having a complaint about your shocking decision.
  • Again, it doesn't make sense.
  • And I'm just being... I feel like I'm worn out with these ridiculous, unnecessary,
  • approaches to try and somehow just change the game of football when it isn't needed.
  • Do you know, I remember Arsene Wenger doing this.
  • Obviously, Arsene Wenger, he's a football thinker, somebody who's done more for the game than most people could ever dream of doing and somebody whose contribution will forever be appreciated.
  • But he's on this quest at the moment.
  • I don't understand it.
  • You know, he's actually on a quest.
  • to eradicate throw ins from the game.
  • He thinks it should be a kick in.
  • Because he believes that if you concede the throw in, effectively you've made the mistake, you should be penalised, you've given a throw in away.
  • But the team that receive, that win the throw in, the team that should be in an advanced position, are actually the team that are down to ten men.
  • Because the throw in, the person has to take it and therefore there's eleven on the pitch versus ten on the pitch.
  • So Arsene Wenger has gone on this crusade to eradicate the throw in.
  • Nobody cares about this answer.
  • Nobody feels hard done by when they win a throw in.
  • Nobody feels like there is something incredibly unjust about winning a throw in.
  • Your approach here isn't chiming with anyone, and it is just another example of, for some reason, this desperate, unnecessary attempt
  • to change the game.
  • The game is perfect.
  • The game is wonderful.
  • The game does not need improving.
  • And the fact that they are now talking about bringing in, and do you know what they keep referring to it as as well, which I find rather offensive?
  • Rugby style measures.
  • We keep looking at rugby players and the way that rugby players go about their game and maybe the way they approach the referee and we hold them in some very high regard and we compare them to footballers.
  • Wouldn't it be good if footballers could be like rugby players?
  • Absolutely not.
  • Absolutely not.
  • Isn't it a shame that rugby players do things so well when footballers don't?
  • It's not true.
  • It's completely not true.
  • Rugby, it's a gentleman's game.
  • It's a barbarian's game played by gentlemen.
  • And football is a gentleman's game played by barbarians.
  • Both of those statements are incredibly false.
  • And this desire, and I think it's Mark Bullingham at the FA, this desire to rugby fire football, it's just unnecessary.
  • They're talking about bringing this in fairly soon as well, by the way.
  • You know, they're on about bringing it in, not in the Premier League, but it could be in cup competitions next season.
  • They're going to bring it into cup competitions next season.
  • And two blue cards will equal a red card.
  • What are they doing?
  • Am I overreacting here?
  • Please help me out.
  • Let me know what you think.
  • I am off to sample some of, see what Las Vegas has to offer, eh?
  • Super Bowl in Vegas, all thanks to AAH Sport.
  • I am over the moon to be here.
  • Let me know your thoughts in the comments below on the blue card in a bit.
