Kaizer Chiefs showboating vs Platinum Stars

[charlie]

A South African referee gave a player a yellow card, ostensibly for excessive showboating. At least, that is what the analysts in the clip think. Personally, I have no idea why the referee gave the card, as I do not see any infraction of FIFA, CAF or SAFA laws.

Anyway, I am posting the video here so "barbwire" Oloye can let us know what he would have done to the player in the clip.

Its a deserved yellow card.
Sports are also about respect. Respect your opponent, respect the game.
When you start messing around, showboating, dancing and trying to purposefully disgrace your opponent, then you are disrespecting the game as well. If you want to dance, do it once the game is over.

Ref did the right thing.

Is this part of football rules or just your opinion?

If there was a rule against disgracing your opponent, Nigeria (7-1 vs Burkina Faso) and Germany (7-1 vs Brazil) would have been banned two years each for scoring unnecessary goals and disgracing the opponent. And Okocha's career would have been blighted with red cards and long suspensions.

PS: You know, the defending team in the clip I posted is Platinum Stars, same as with the thread-opening clip. It is either the team doesn't believe in defending, or they are the football equivalent of that team created and hired to play the Harlem Globetrotters.

You are totally confusing the discussion. There is a difference between ruthlessness (Germany's 7-1 destruction of Brazil) and disrespect.
When you are showboating on the ball like in the video above without even using/showing any actual skill, that is just disrespectful.

Oh and btw, Jay Jay actually showed skill on the ball. His dribbles had a purpose, and he used his skill and wit to achieve it.
Tell me, what is the skill this mumu is showing with a football? How can you even compare what he is doing to what Jay Jay did day in day out with a football?

the only soccer rule here in the books being broken (I say soccer so magus don't convolute real football with American football) is delay of game just in the same fashion as Ref would yellow-card a Goalie who deliberately delays kicking out the ball in order to run time off the clock. That clause covers/justifies the Ref's in issuing yellow card in this act. I know one would argue that players taking the ball to the corner flag is often overlooked by Refs but Refs are actually guilty when they neglect to intervene just as they would if it was a keeper hording the ball to run time off the clock.

^0:50, 3:15, yellow at most. Thats exactly how a good defender goes in, firm, full-blooded, all or nothing, with both eyes on the ball.

That looked like a practice match!

[Mzekezeke]

You will never understand. The Zimbabweans Samora and Chimurenga almost get it.

It’s our culture, it’s entertainment and we the people of Mzansi love it.

Amakhosi for ever!

My signature is a tribute to greatest football team in the world!

I've been watching & following football for decades...

Reserve this sort of "stupid" showboating for park football on a Sunday afternoon (that's assuming there are no decent amateurs involved)...

At amateur/pro level, any self-respecting opponent has the right to take out your knee-caps for 'nonsense' like that...Its an unspoken rule amongst fellow pros...

That sort of "stupid" showboating disrespects the game...

Curiously, it seems its permitted in the southern region...
In West Africa its not seen as entertainment...don't try that crap even with street soccer...
