I have the feeling that referees have become more strict during the past few months. I've always played reckless with green, blue and even yellow referees; and aggressive with orange and red ones, but never normal or careful. I hardly got any red cards by playing that way. But as I said I've noticed referees have become more strict so I don't risk that much anymore and have started playing normal with orange and red ones.

Regarding the pressure, nobody seems to know for sure whether it affects the chance of getting red cards. Well, I am pretty sure it does. You'll be more likely to get a red card if you play with high pressure even if the ref is lenient. On the other hand you can play reckless with low pressure and won't normally get any red cards.

Regarding the fact that a red card has too much influence in the game and you always lose even if your squad is very strong... well, that is true and it doesn't happen on real football, but I don't think that should change as it makes the game more thrilling and results more unpredictable. There are many other unreal things in this game. For example, it is not real that a player who started the league being rated 60 can end up the league being 100+, even better than Messi, after being trained during just 20 games. It is also unreal that a goal 16 team from a humble country can win the league and sign players like Cristiano, Griezmann... players who would never sign for such a small team. OSM is loosely based in real football but doesn't need to be too real.

@SUPERNOVA-8

My idea with the topic was just to see the opinions and what happens to each one.

With me, in almost 95% of the time, if I have 1 expelled, I lose the game and for many goals. I think that's the biggest issue on the subject.

But there are cases where even with kicked out, the coach wins. It still seems to me somewhat abstract that we are discovering with time!

I could see that Adilmo and that's why I thanked you in my previous post. Due to your topic we have all the opportunity to exchange our personal thoughts and experience about this matter, that probably has been a pain for some of our fellow managers here.

Then my dear Adilmo maybe time has come for you to try new things with your special tactics and stop getting your players expelled, and this topic hopefully will give you fresh ideas.

Like I've mentioned earlier...This football game is not a 100% predictable one . Lady luck plays her part too and that's exactly the reason for me finding it so fascinating ! And I love the fact that I can discover new things all the time and each league is unique and a whole new adventure to me !

A funny picture from the past ...:rofl:

Seven bloody days of suspension for my player !
For any of you that think the old version and old Referees were like angelic ones ! Muahaha!
I learned my lesson alright almost 2 years ago.

Sabit Mamedov · 23 Jan 2017, 21:06

Can anybody tell me, why with red referee when I play normal style, and my opponents aggressive, but red cards are always given to my players?

SUPERNOVA 8 · 25 Jan 2017, 20:00

@Sabit-Mamedov Hello mate.

I had to move your post in here. I believe you might get your answers if you read these posts .

Sabit Mamedov · 25 Jan 2017, 22:02

@SUPERNOVA-8 Hi Sofie. If you had such bad experience with referees you can tell me the reason)

SUPERNOVA 8 · 25 Jan 2017, 22:03

@Sabit-Mamedov Hi Sabit But I have already made a detailed post / explanation of how I feel things are working according to each Referee. It is the 6th post of this same topic on Page 1 mate. And you will also find more posts and opinions from other managers as well.

Should I be happy or mad?

@Majstor-Matt

Hard to get 3 red cards, at least you managed to tie.
I also got 3 red cards two months ago, I lost 1-0.

Majstor Matt · 26 Jan 2017, 22:32

At least your ref was "red".. my was "yellow" and still easy on reds for me But yeah, all in all, Im gald I have managed to get a draw with 8 players in field

SUPERNOVA 8 · 26 Jan 2017, 22:56

@Majstor-Matt Yikes ! Oh for crying out loud ... Matty how on earth did you manage to get 3 reddies mate?
Care to share a few juicy details with us? Cause honestly I'm so curious now. You were playing away on a medium "yellow" Ref . So what kind of tackling did you use and was your pressure too high maybe?

@Majstor-Matt I adore you man ! :rofl: You're an idol for sure Doc :heart_exclamation:

MenagerBL · 27 Jan 2017, 13:03

Only 9 matches... LOL

SUPERNOVA 8 · 27 Jan 2017, 13:04

@MenagerBL Ahahaha. Oh c`mon you guys. You're killing me really! Please share your little secret with us. How much pressure or what kind of tackling did you use to achieve such a terrible suspension?

Tip of the day: Stay away from Special leagues if you play very aggressively most of the time.

I played agressive and the referee was orange (4).
