Guest ™Goody™ Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I've just been watching the football league from Saturday and the commentator mentions how the Coventry City manager fines his players if they concede from set pieces. What sort of morale does this give the squad? Would it spur our players on to start marking better etc. Would you be disappointed if DJ was to employ this method or something like this?

Guest Paulos_Medication Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Should players be fined ? Only if they are cloudy. One for all the brewers / winemakers out there. I'm here all week, try the veal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have thought about this recently. Was thinking about strikers who are continually caught offside and how they should be made to pay a fine for it. I seem to remember one manager fining his players for getting cramp.

Guest ™Goody™ Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) should owlstalk fine posters for starting shÃt threads? Oooo Deidre goes up +1 in the ranking system for abusing / making a joke in another thread. Well done. This is taken from the Coventry City website. If DJ wants our players to play a certain way why wouldn't he adapt this approach. It seems to be working at other clubs. Perhaps it would start to make players such as Mattock / Taylor think about what they doing when they are on the pitch. Striker Callum Ball talks about Mark Robins' new approach to discipline... Typically, a professional footballer might not to pleased to learn that a new set of fines has been brought into a football club by a new manager. However, that is not the case with striker Callum Ball who has praised Mark Robins’ new wave of fines in an effort to up discipline and perfect the style of play at the club. Ball was introduced by Robins at half-time to great effect as his chipped pass to David McGoldrick proved a vital assist in the 1-0 win over Bournemouth at the Ricoh Arena. After the game, the super sub explained how the new set of rules and fines brought in by Robins works. The 19-year old said: “When I was at Derby, there were a lot of fines around the club. If you were late or if you left your kit about, you were fined. “But when I came here, I was surprised at the facts there wasn’t any fines or nothing really like that. “However, since the gaffer has come in, there is a lot more discipline. There are a few fines being thrown out there with one of the fines being if your man scores at a set-piece, it’s a £100 fine. “It makes everyone want to work harder. It makes me want to defend corners and free-kicks better but then also attack them better at the other end as well. “I think it is a really good thing. You don’t want to be conceding goals at set-pieces, especially with the run we’re on at the moment.†The striker, who celebrates his 20th Birthday today, joined the club on a season-long loan from Derby County in the summer. He admitted he hasn’t played as much football as he would have liked since joining the club but hopes to keep his place in the side after his performance against the Cherries. Ball added: “I’ve started the first few games but then dropped out of the side. I have got back into the side today and had enough time to influence the game. “It was a good performance. The team played well in the second half after we were a bit sloppy in the first. “The manager told me to come on and work hard, put myself about and be a pest up front. Don’t give them any time on the ball, hassle them and bully them – and I think I did that. “First half the centre halves didn’t get much pressure but me and David worked well together got the goal and hopefully there is more of that to come. “It was a good goal and hopefully now we can crack on and score a few goals together. “It’s been a while, I’ve not started much but today I have come on and tried to prove myself. Hopefully, I can help the side fly up into the play-offs.†http://www.ccfc.co.u...w=full#anchored Edited October 15, 2012 by ™Goody™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Should be fined every time we fail to beat the first man at a set piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdial Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Not good if there are a couple of loan players in the team and they aren't effected, but are at fault for the goal. Surely this should effect everyone, strikers fined for missing a one on one, midfielders for misplacing 3 passes and keeper for dropping a cross. What a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordyowl Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Rather than being fined, players should get a normal wage and then get bonuses for doing their job properly, then the top players can actually earn their millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedmilkman Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I maybe wrong, but i wouldnt have thought you could fine people for things that are debatable. If a poorer club implemented it, then surely they could use this rule to their advantage? I'm not saying you could just make up the fines, but you could certainly exaggerate them and save a few bob. I was of the opinion that some clubs highlighted players making errors with "idiot of the week" or something similar and they'd have to train in womens clothes or whatever. This sorta stuff seems a more squad morale-friendly idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
