       New directives - so far?

       Generally seem to be sticking to the instructions so far, based
       on highlights only.
       For example, Bobby Madley sent off a player (2YC) for gesturing
       for a caution. Hopefully message will get through quickly!
       Has to be consistent though - Darren England gave a (wrong IMO)
       penalty to Southampton. 5/6 players noticeably run at him to
       protest and no card in sight.

       Only game I watched was AFCB v WHU & they were stuck to by Banks
       & team Had a very positive effect on the game, no rolling about
       looking for free kicks, dissent was confined to a couple of
       little moans, all 22 players got on and played ball without the
       shenanigans & I'm pretty sure they enjoyed themselves out there
       as a result. Long may it continue.

       I’ve only watched EFL and non league games so far and have found
       the referees consistent in cautioning delaying restarts and
       showing imaginary yellow cards. Hopefully if it continues, it
       will reduce the instances.
       Unfortunately the referees have also been consistent in allowing
       shirt pulling and grappling for challenges in the air. I was
       hoping that would be another area that was clamped down upon. I
       appreciate there are some ‘six of one’ instances but defenders
       have got away with a lot in the games I’ve watched.
       Overall though good work by the referees.

       I imagine this won’t be a yellow but it did happen in our game
       yesterday, Forest had a free kick and the ball was with our
       player, our player then kicked the ball back to the Forest
       Keeper to take the free kick there was no yellow and I can’t
       imagine in any other game it would be, but could it happen in
       this scenario as it’s only been kicked back to the opposition
       player to get on with the game and not kicking it away

       It should not happen in that scenario.

       From what I have seen so far, the referees are sticking to the
       plan.
       We have not yet (I think) had a case of a second yellow card for
       time-wasting or waving the imaginary card - that will be an acid
       test.

       Bobbly Madley gave a 2nd yellow card yesterday to Onyedima for
       Rotherham for waving an imaginary card

       What are people's general opinions on the directives and there
       implementation so far? I was at Stoke v Rotherham last weekend
       and John Busby seemed very quick to dish cards out for very
       little when it came to "delaying the restart". One could say he
       lacked feel for the game.
       And from the few games I've watched on TV this weekend, there's
       been examples of PL players not being sanctioned for similar
       offences. In the Championship game I refer to above, both Brown
       and Bramall - the latter a two-yard toe bunt that trickled at
       snails pace - saw yellows for kicking the ball away. Yet I've
       seen Alvarez (Man City) and others do similar, if not worse,
       without a card.
       One further point - what did people make of the challenges by
       Konate on Jackson, then Gallagher on Mac Allister that saw the
       pair upended booked for waving imaginary yellows? Thought
       Gallagher was extremely fortunate not to be cautioned but Taylor
       too busy dealing with the directives rather than dealing with
       the foul.
       So far, plenty of petty cautions with referees inconsistent in
       their sanctions.

       I wish they would just book goalkeepers for excessive
       timewasting instead of adding the time on. The minute they are
       at risk of potentially getting a second yellow which hopefully
       officials won't shy away from, I am sure they would speed up.
       From what I've seen officials have been far happier to show the
       yellow card for other dissent or timewasting such as kicking the
       ball away.

       Scitt seemed to be onto Howe and Tindall as soon as one of them
       moved towards the front of the technical area but the 4th at the
       Arsenal game (not sure who but think was a SG2) didnt seem to
       bother trying to enforce it
