Oakie Doke Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 what's your favourite defunct North American club? For me it has to be Team Hawaii, who were founded in 1977, dissolved in 1977 and played their home games at the Aloha Stadium. They then left Hawaii and became the Tulsa Roughnecks, owner of perhaps the most devastatingly intimidating logo known to man. http://soccerstats.us/static/images/team/tulsa-roughnecks.png I really should do some work.

Kanj Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 What's the significance or reason for the name "Rangers" in football clubs? I know the obvious meanings of Rangers, but just curious how it find its way into football clubs... I feel like I know this answer but figured I'd ask....

It's such a small area. Check this out, thought it was fucking genius myself and then the cunt linesman flags to get it ruled out after letting play carry on a good ten seconds. Doesn't need to leave the quadrant btw, becomes active as soon as touched after the whistle. Was interested to see if anyone else knew the rule as I wasn't sure initially.

Exiled in Texas Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The ball is "technically" in play as soon as it is kicked and moves. Alas, in this example, the intended deception of the defending team also included the AR who also didn't register that the player had intentionally played the ball, and ruled that the there was second touch by the dribbling player. A team tried this during a game I was refereeing, and I allowed it (didn't result in anything). But I did give a IFK to the opposition at the next free kick to the "clever" team as the kicker repositioned the ball with their foot and I called it a double touch. They never tried that again. I also guarantee that had the defending team in the video, swooped in and taken the ball up-field after the first slight kick, that the team taking the clever corner would have protested. Can't have it both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I thought when Pires messed up the penalty pass to Henry that time it was because the ball didn't move a full diameter. Henry's reaction suggested that was the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have it both ways. It's difficult to pick up there but you could clearly hear Draper telling the assistant referee that he had taken it and there was no protest at all, he then tells Doran who pauses a while before carrying it towards the box. The assistant didn't flag immediately after the second touch either like, waited until the goal was scored and Inverness were celebrating before signalling the referee. He'd even started jogging back to halfway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney and Giggs did the same trick against Chelsea. Disallowed by the ref too. Edit: Their ball was outside the quadrant and the linesman raised his flag immediately. Not quite the same situation I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
