Is it about time the professional foul was a red card offence? There was one in the game yesterday and there’s just been one in the hearts game. It really gets on my nerves that a player can just pull someone down or trip them and it’s only a yellow card. There’s no attempt to play the ball and it usually stops a promising attack. All this taking one for the team doesn’t wash with me, it’s blatant cheating.

Who was it that committed the professional foul yesterday? I have a vague memory of there being one but not sure who it was.

I'd like to see the end of yellow cards and introduce a sin bin. Being down to 10 or even 9 men for ten minutes might stop a lot of the nonsense that goes on.

Are we talking about a professional foul anywhere on the pitch? It wasn't that long ago when it became a compulsory straight red for a professional foul denying a goal scoring opportunity , certainly in England. I remember the foul that stimulated the rule change; Willie Young on a West Ham striker, Arsenal West Ham FA Cup final 1980, one of those straight through on goal, running at the keeper, chasing centre back takes his legs away from behind kind of challenges.

Still think Dave Beaumont should have halved Wayne Foster at the half way line in the Scottish Cup at Easter Road many moons ago leaving him a clean run in on Jim Leighton

I remember it well. Most of the hibs support screaming for Beaumont to take him out (not a GBH tackle just stop him). It was late in the game with not much time to get one back. If I recall correctly we had been on top for most of the game and we were incensed because it was so against the run of play. When a hibs player takes one for the team it is completely different from when it happens to one of our players - it's called green goggles.

A yellow wasn't enough of a punishment at the time although karma didn't half bite him on the arse later on in the game.
There is little enough excitement in games without player committing so called professional fouls.
Taking one for the team in these circumstances cheats the fans.
Red cards also cheat the fans by ruining the game if they happen early in the match.
Sin binned for 20 minutes would be sufficient punishment in most cases.
Obviously severe cases would remain off for the whole game.
One of the best examples i can remember is when Beckham was sent off in the World Cup against Argentina for petulantly flicking a foot up at an opponent whilst lying on the ground. It was deemed violent conduct but no way should something like that mean a player is sent off for the whole match. Totally ruined the match.Last edited by CMurdoch; 04-08-2019 at 11:32 PM.

Although I have always thought the cal ing of fouls as ‘professional fouls’ a misnomer.
Does anyone from Queens Park or any other amateur club commit a professional foul?
It’s almost as if we somehow condone the inevitability of the offence in a higher grade of football.
Cynical foul would be a preferred term, and pretty sure the term ‘professional foul’ does not appear in the rule book.
The football one anyway, it unfortunately does in Oz’s NRL.

Would rather we keep the game the way it is. Making a tackle these days is hard enough.

Some of the tackles should be a red card offence alone. Remember away to st.johnstone mcginn was absolutely clattered as we broke away and the boy only got a yellow because its deemed as a "professional foul"? Its a nonsense law

A break from midfield where the attacking player was right through on the back 4 with players in support is a different matter, but would you trust our refs to know the difference?
