  1. The rule is for every dead ball. The taker can't touch the ball twice in succession. Can't pass to yourself or dribble away with it.

     

    I suppose the argument would be that the goal posts could be classed as a foreign body, but meh it's fine as it is.

  2. We are lucky to have him and he is rightfully loved by everyone, but surely we all expected him to do better this season than we are currently doing?

     

    Promotion is all that matters and I would have taken automatic promotion of any kind at the start of the season. But not winning the title along the way is a disappointment. No two ways about that I think.

  3. When it's this blatant, and no action was taken at the time then, yeah, he'll most likely get punished.

     

    But at the higher level, there's nothing being done. Look at Suarez's reaction the other week against PSG. Premierleague even made an official rule amendment a couple summers ago, but no action is ever really taken.

  4. Football should be very simple regarding anything like that. At any professional level, Barcelona, Ross County etc.

     

    No bullshit about this official not seeing the incident or that official seeing it and stopping further action... Ban and that's it.

  5. Anichibe fouled the keeper on both Mackem goals like

    For the first goal it's pretty grotesquely blatant. No one else even really around. What was the ref looking at? [emoji38]

     

    Second one is fine though, unfortunately. Goalie comes through the back of him and should do better.

     

  6. Kid has a good game against Leeds in the Championship and now he's a superstar that we should build our midfield around.

     

    Jesus wept.

     

    What.

    Bipolarism is real.

  7. South Shields had a 2054 attendance for their game today. There's enough of a catchment area, and disenchantment from mackem fans, for them to be a Football League club if the Thompsons are serious with their ownership long term.

     

    That must be the first time they've broken the 2,000 aside from the games against North Shields, no?

     

    I suspect they are serious indeed. True football fans and a history with South Shields with their business based there for a while.

  8. Love how there is more Burton players encroaching than Newcastle [emoji38]

     

     

     

    Encroaching should only come into play if there's a rebound. Why does it even matter if a defender is in the box if the player scores or puts it wide?

     

    ??? It doesn't.

     

    Doesn't it? So defenders are allowed to do it???

     

    Effectively yeah. If the goal is scored, the defenders' actions are rendered meaningless by the rule above. Think I've just misinterpreted your point tbh.

     

    Spot on Dave, the defenders action are indeed rendered meaningless if the goal is scored.

    It's a simple extension of playing advantage.

     

    But we're going off track here.
