Plenty of stuff to rant about as well as stealing yards at free kicks and throwing the ball in incorrectly.Burton's second goal last weekend reminded me of Real football in the '70s when the choice was often to take a quick free kick while your opponents were still arguing the toss about the decision. Now players have to wait for the ref to go through his shaving cream routine and make sure everyone has time to cover their balls. Does anyone else miss that? Fair play to Burton for making it work.
While I'm on a nostalgic rant another observation is that we never see Foul throws punished anymore. Anything from gaining 10-20 yds (Very common) to feet off the ground or ball not going behind the head etc etc etc.....
Yeah, good point.what happened to obstuction?
Not quite. It would be a goal kick if that happenedMy only memory of indirect/direct free kicks is school football! The only rule of it I can remember is a free kick as a result of someone being offside is indirect. That is to say if someone scored from this, it would have to be retaken, and with the standard of goalkeepers I was playing at - this could happen!!
Goalkeepers wasting time I thought it was six seconds not twenty they could hold the ball for.
Again goalkeepers get rid if this kick it from either side rule make them kick it from the side it went out and give them a time limit any time wasting is a direct free kick in the position of your choice, as booking them is a waste of time as no goalkeeper has been sent off for two cases of time wasting.
Substiutions should take no more than ten seconds none of this running away from the dug out and than shaking everybody's hand on the way there, if you don't get the new bloke on in time the game starts and if he is out of position bad luck.
Off field time keeper as the ref has enough to do already.
again there is no 6 second rule in place for keepers to clear the ball
indirect free kickan indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following four offences:
- controls the ball with his hands for more than six seconds before releasing it from his possession
- touches the ball again with his hands after he has released it from his possession and before it has touched another player
- touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate
- touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate
Again there is no 6 second rule in place for keepers to clear the ball
the going off rule after treatment - when somebody has been truly hacked down by the opposition
The player committing the foul stays on, but the person who is hacked down goes off
i'd like to see bad fouls, the professional type, like madders has had on him every game hes been back, dealt with a straight red
like when a player is on the surge through midfield and a slow player thats just been skinned alive hoofs him down
thats just poor sportsmanship, thats red card surely?
fleck and JOB would have also taken a few reds for that
Oh yes please.Should we start a thread for "The worst ever decision by a ref"?
