This might not necessarily be the right thread, but is there a good, in-depth article about the rising stars of the Belgian national side?

I'd like to see any sort of attempt to explain why this generation has so many god drat stud players in it

No idea where else to put this article about the West Ham fan Harry Redknapp plucked out of the stands and put on the pitch in a pre-season game against Oxford. It's loving amazing and awe-inspiring and :unsmith:: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/sep/05/harry-redknapp-played-fan-west-ham

I've always wondered that when players crowd the ref, too. Why not just start handing out yellows until they stop? Seems like it would fix the problem.

It goes along the same lines as why referees let players curse at them. Foul and Abusive language is a yellow card offense at the least and yet I constantly see players saying the worst poo poo and getting away with it.

that's a weird article: credits transfers from like 2 years after this incident as happening before Redknapp took over just to fit a 'football was changing, too many foreigners' bit in that comes from nowhere and wasn't remotely true in 1994.

Because in the first few games you'd have the usual crowd going "ohhh it happens every game why do you have to penalize my players" and the media would be completely insufferable.

Good idea though.

Because if a ref did that he'd end up sending off most of a team when they started to argue and no ref is going to abandon a game because the other side has too few players to continue.

I like Howard Webb for this reason, he's more assertive and looks like he's not afraid to tell people to gently caress off. Whereas Mike Riley used to look like he was on the verge of a breakdown every time players got in his face.
