Trevor and Tony agreed that while Potter has managerial ability, he lacks visible passion and his tenure at Chelsea and West Ham was disappointing. Jerome noted that Sweden's World Cup group includes strong teams like Netherlands, Japan, and Tunisia, making their chances of progression unlikely. The discussion also included casual conversation about weather and podcast introductions before transitioning into the main football discussion. Sarge Head Coach NegotiationsThe group discussed negotiations between Crystal Palace and ROC Lens for Pierre Sarge to become the new head coach, with Trevor explaining the distinction between "manager" and "head coach" roles and expressing optimism about the potential appointment. Trevor highlighted Sarge's track record in France and praised Crystal Palace's due diligence in finding a replacement for Glasner, who left in October. The discussion also touched on other potential candidates like Frank Lampard, though Trevor noted that Sarge appeared to be the most serious contender for the role. FIFA Rule Changes and ModricThe group discussed Luca Modric's impressive performance at age 40 for Croatia, with Tony and Jerome praising his skill and leadership while Trevor noted his slight frame might allow him to play into his mid-40s. The conversation then shifted to FIFA's new rule requiring substitutes to leave the pitch within 10 seconds to prevent time-wasting, which all participants agreed was a beneficial change for the sport. Football Rules Discussion MeetingThe group discussed new football rules, focusing on throw-ins and goal kicks. They agreed that the 5-second countdown rule for throw-ins would help reduce time-wasting, though Trevor and Jerome expressed concerns that it might be too short, preferring 10 seconds. The discussion also covered rules about players receiving treatment on the pitch, with participants agreeing these changes would help stop time-wasting tactics, though Trevor noted an exception for goalkeepers might need consideration. The conversation concluded with a brief mention of VAR reviewing second yellow cards and corners.The Football Referee would also available in Visual Format on youtube and tiktok and in audio on all major online podcast market like Spotify, Audible/ Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Podcast Addict, Podchaser, JioSaavn, Spreaker and links on all Social major media platforms.Music: Play Right (singles) by Drem TGI & Let's Do it Again (from the Album "Hold my Hand") by Trevor Gear Appearances In This Season: Emmy Hikins (drem tgi), Trevor Gear and Tony GusaniSources and pictures credit:Sportskeeda.com, google.com, bbc sports, and Wikipedia, Kickoff, sky sports, bt sports / TNT, Athletic, football daily, tall football, football world ent, fox sports Argentina, opta, fabrizio Romano, times sports, telegraph, Palermo official, L’Equipe, @petehall86, Barcelona official fc, Liverpool Echo news, @JoanPoquiEraso, transfer news live twitter, Santi Aouna / Foot Mercato, @yagosabuncuoglu, Cadena SER, Daily Star Sports, sky sports,Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-football-referee--6204198/support.The Football Referee Was Brought To You By Deepstuff Radio Of Deepstuff Records Ltd.
