He was turning out for Cheadle Heath Nomads a couple of seasons ago, before his move to Warrington. Been linked with quite a few clubs in England since moving north of the border. Should have definitely taken a gamble on him
I thought someone on the committee at Nomads who also supports County worded the Club up but not sure if anything came of that, assume not unless the Club felt we could find better. I listened to a podcast with Michael Clegg earlier on in the year, who had him at Ashton United and later went on to sign him at Rylands. He said at the time he was adamant he had the ability to play really high, but was perhaps the victim of bad advice or agent. He went into explain how after a season at Ashton, he’d tried contacting Sidibeh in the close season and tell him that he’d organised some trials for him at higher clubs, but Sidibeh wouldn’t call him back. As the following season began Sidibeh was spotted working as security in town which led Clegg to question his advice and mindset. Wouldn’t surprise me if stories like thai made some clubs reluctant to deal with him

Why? Everyone in football knows there's a higher bar for a second yellow and, regardless, it has a much great impact impact than the first yellow. We have to draw boundaries somewhere to keep the flow of game. It doesn't seen unreasonable to me to change it so that VAR can review any incident that results in a red card. A yellow card is a yellow card, per the rules. There’s no higher bar for a second yellow. A yellow should be a yellow but how many times do you hear the so called expert commentators say “that’s not worth a 2nd yellow” or “that’s never a yellow so early in the game” and quite often the referee’s seem to take that line too.

Feels about right for him, hopefully he does well. Looks well short for L1.

It's not the sole factor but being last man is a major contributing factor to whether it is the denial of a goalscoring opportunity.

It's not the sole factor but being last man is a major contributing factor to whether it is the denial of a goalscoring opportunity. Sometimes, sometimes not. Depends where you are on the pitch. But if the last man brings a player down, it doesn't equal a red card. The denial of a goalscoring opportunity does. You can deny a goalscoring opportunity when there's two other defenders right next to you.

He's not up to L1 so pointless having him on the bench. He’s not so bad we’d rather play with 10 men though. With doubts over Mingi and Hughes we could be down to four defenders so letting him go out today suggests either those two are fine or someone has arrived.

You can deny a goalscoring opportunity when there's two other defenders right next to you. You are correct on the law as far as a referee is concerned but from a player or coaching point of view, it's good practice to drum into defenders to be acutely aware of when you're last man and the do's and don't of being in that position. It's also good practice to coach the rest of the team to use covering defenders as a strong argument when discussing this law to a referee. That is why so many ex pro's will refer to last man etc when analysing to be fair.
I would say 95% of denial of goalscoring opportunities are to someone who is the last man, they have to very close to the goal for it to be a red if there are covering defenders. And even then, if you're in the box and make a genuine attempt, it's a yellow.

No they’ll refer to it as that because most pundits are shit and engrained in what football was like when they played.

No they’ll refer to it as that because most pundits are shit and engrained in what football was like when they played. Not necessarily in this instance. They'll be told to argue on those two case points (last man and covering defenders).
Going round just shouting "it's not/is a denial of a goalscoring opportunity" will score points for law quoting knowledge but is not a persuasive argument.
