Millennium change M500

I thought coaching was "banned"

Ignore the really loud whistle blasts from the crowd, or the screams in Russian from the crowd...or Slowiak yelling through a cup

I never got to use a camera gun as a mobile bunker. I've seen people hide behind ref's though. When the ref got lit up, they were very unhappy.

Coaching was never "Banned".

Its called spectator participation

Actually, Ulrich defined coaching as being the coach/manager calling the shots from the pit side, which they banned, they also removed the spectator side 'coaching boxes' inside the crowd barriers, but this may have been before they banned coaching from the pit side!

Yeah but Pete... This was before anyone actually cared!!

I find the word banned pretty emotive. They changed the rules for the better. Right now, I think they have it spot on.

yea keep crowd participation (you are an idiot if you rely on the crowd to give you real info ) and Im VERY pleased sideline coaching is now gone. It means players will use their own initiative again!

Has this been announced?

 

[MattC]

Pretty sure it was mentioned last year Stoney with absolutely no idea on how it was going to be implemented.

Its just a change of wording from "coaching" to "spectator participation".

It makes it easier for them to answer a question when it's asked... " is coaching allowed?"

Answer - No. But if you're a spectator you can shout what you like. (within reason obviously)
