So what do ye think of the black card rule now?

[muppet]

Don't want to rehash this but I think overall it has been good.  A lot of the nasty stuff is gone.

This is another bollocksy statement that gets trotted out by the black card brigade and if repeated enough will become fact.

My sincere apologies Benny, I forgot the law that says if a statement is true it can't be considered a fact because YOU don't agree with it. I'll try to remember that next time to cut down on the confusion levels.

It's not a fact.

Can anyone imagine any other trial, whereby the introduction of a new process was largely ignored, and then results produced from the period it was ignored to declare the trial a success? Ben Goldacre would rip this 'finding' to shreds.

Calling it a success is absurd.

Statistically it's been a great success.

Here is proof that 1 = 0:

x = y.
Then x2 = xy.
Subtract the same thing from both sides:
x2 - y2 = xy - y2.
Dividing by (x-y), obtain
x + y = y. Since x = y, we see that
2 y = y.
Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero.
Subtracting 1 from both sides,
1 = 0.

After 17509 posts your beginning to make sense.

The excellent Spailpín nails the issue here I believe.

Now in fairness I didnt listen too well during simultaneous equations but if x=y then x-y=0 and if you divide by zero you end up with 0=0

Close enough. 

You can't normally divide by zero.

Yes I know. I was just pointing out that you didn't!

Oh right. Thank God you came to rescue me.

Is it only me or does there seem to be more black card being shown now ?

The body checking one seems to be getting highlighted. I thought you had to step across your opponent to take him out in order for it to be black ?

Stevie from Killeavey on the AOS black card:

Has anyone anywhere at any level gotten a black for any of the last 2 offences.

If I was still reffing, I'd be using these all the time, to shut up player's mouthing/ acting the edjit.

Really don't know why refs are using these more (shut down the back whoever said/is thinking that too many refs don't understand the meaning of some of the words in these 2) I'd be using five a hell of a lot and force clubs/guilty players that their remonstrating wasn't aggressive.

4. Threaten or to use abusive or provocative language or gestures to an opponent or a teammate.
5. Remonstrate in an aggressive manner with a Match Official.

I would have preferred if they had added or to a match official in rule 4 dropped the aggressive manner from number 5  so that they read.

4. Threaten or to use abusive or provocative language or gestures to an opponent or a teammate or a Match Official.
5. Remonstrate in with a Match Official.

Basically there's no place from remonstrating on a field of play 99.9999% of the time.

It would certainly improve things.

Last year we were told that the high scoring seen in the League was all down to the Black Card and thus proved its success.

This year we still have the magnificent Black Card, but somehow we have muck. How can this be? Surely the Black Card was the messiah and saved us from cynicism! Maybe we need another card, or a book, or a tick, or a bin, or a committee, or a committee to hear appeals from that committee. Please someone introduce something!

Simple - scoring would be even lower if there weren't a black card.

If high scoring 'proved' its success, then it can't have it cake and eat it with horrible low scoring this year:

With more & more teams adopting the blanket defence scores were bound drop.  Black card can't do anything about that, I would say it would be even lower without the black card

Maybe the black card is part of the reason why more and more teams are adopting the blanket defence?

hmmmm...... do we simply go back to non stop fouling and giving frees so??
