Football is known for its over-regulation, but should Premier League managers be held to such strict standards on the touchline? Karren Brady argues for more leniency.
Touchline Antics
Remember the days of Barry Fry at Birmingham? His touchline antics were a sight to behold, but would he survive in today's tightly regulated "technical area"?
Managers vs. Players
Managers like Mikel Arteta and Roberto de Zerbi have faced yellow cards for their touchline behavior, while players seem to get away with more. Is it time for a change in the rules?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rule of offside in football?
The offside rule is a fundamental aspect of football aimed at preventing players from gaining an unfair advantage. Offside is when a player’s head, body or feet are in the opposite team’s side of the field, closer to their opponent’s goal than the ball, and also the next-to-last player (typically, the last player on the outfield) at the time the ball is passed to them. Offside is not a crime in and of itself. However, it can become a criminal offense if he or she actively interferes in play, gains an unfair advantage, or gets in the way of an opponent.
What is the role of a coach in the success of a football team?
A coach can play a crucial role in the success or failure of a team by developing effective training programs, implementing tactical plans and managing players. In addition to creating training programs, a coach must also devise strategic game strategies and motivate players to give their best. Coaches must also make critical decisions about the player’s selection and position, while managing dynamics within the group to maintain a focused and positive environment. It is their leadership that often guides teams through challenges and drives them towards success.
How can my football technique be improved?
For you to improve your football skills, it is essential that you practice regularly and concentrate on the basics. The importance of regularly performing drills to improve ball control and accuracy in passing and shooting is paramount. Your technique will be greatly improved by spending time on your weaker leg and working to improve your balance and coordination. Furthermore, analyzing professional footballers’ movements, positions, and decisions will provide you with valuable insights.
What is the best way to defend yourself against an offensive team that’s strong?
Defending against a strong offensive team requires a disciplined and strategic approach. Fundamental tactics include forming a strong defensive line, keeping a compact team and using a disciplined marking scheme. Limiting the scoring chances of opposing players by forcing them to the sidelines instead of the middle can be done. Communication between defenders is key, as are quick defensive transitions when possession has been lost. Counter-attacking can be used as a way to exploit any holes that might open when the offensive team commits their players forward.
What is the importance of teamwork and how can you encourage it?
Football is a game where teamwork and cooperation are essential. To foster teamwork, it is important to understand the team’s strategies and how each member fits into them. Communication on and off the field is critical, as is trust among teammates. Team bonding exercises and setting collective goals can increase the sense of team unity and commitment. Respectful and supportive behavior can also foster teamwork by creating a positive culture.
