Touchline Bans

Just read that Paul Ince has a touchline ban for 2 games, which will include the game against us at St Mary's.

 

Got me thinking, do you think these bans have much of an effect on the team during the game? i.e how much influence can/does the manager have from the touchline?

 

None in the slightest IMO. Most prefer to give instruction from the stands in any case.

 

I think if the authorities want to punish managers who abuse touchline officials and referees properly, they should dish out matchday bans where the manager is unable to be involved with the team at all and that includes travelling to the match.

agreed - much like Mourinho had at Chelsea in the CL 1/4 final (i think).

 

a total ban for the day - no contact whatsoever would be much better / more of a punishment

That became farcical with talk of ear piece's and laundry trolleys, how do you enforce such a ban, lock the manager in a cell ? with technology of today many methods of communicating exist, only point deductions would remove it from the game but then of course you have to get the level of 'abuse' into context.

i think these stupid bans and fines are a waste of time. They don't work fact!

 

If you want to punish a team dock points - simples. This way you would stamp all the bickering and cheating etc in one easy swoop.

 

Clubs then can fine an individual player if they wish, thats fine. But I think it would solve so many of these stupid time consuming disriputes etc.

can't think of any recent managers staying in the stands?

Actually, are there that many League One grounds that necessarily afford one a better view from the stand than the dug-out!?

 

That's a point actually and furthermore, in some league one grounds, sitting in the stand is surely not much further away than being in the dugout. Do the match officials have the power to stop the manager shouting from the stand? i doubt it.

Sit him next to Derry, that'll keep him quiet and polite.
