Fugazi Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Remember those ask the referee articles in The Guardian or something? Where the reader was presented with a situation (e.g. a defender knees it back to the 'keeper, is it a back pass?) and they have to work out the outcome? Is that still a thing? http://viz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Screen-Shot-2016-05-04-at-11.29.07.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just hit me that it would be interesting to watch a game where you're allowed to punch the ball. Obviously part of the game would be very different, but it would remove all the contentious penalty decisions. Anyone else interested in seeing a game like that or believe it could possibly be better than the game we've got now? Just punch it like or can you hold it? Its basically gaelic football if you want to see one where they can hold it Just punching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Would you be able to do it if you're part of the wall on a free kick? Would absolutely ruin set piece specialists to have deal with a wall that's now an extra 2-3 feet in height. It would be an interesting change though if handballing as a punch was no longer a foul.

madras Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 What is a 6 pointer? Never understand the term Ever see it's a knockout ? You can play a Joker in a game and double your points, so if you win 3 points become 6 hence 6 pointer. Last season we played our Joker in the Home game against Norwich which is why we actually went for it after going behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 What is a 6 pointer? Never understand the term It's a cliché but if you are playing a team you are level with or on similar points the theory is if you win you gain 3 points while denying your rival 3 points and hence the term six pointer. Tonight could be considered as one. If Everton win, the gap between us is 7 points and they'll look like a team we can forget about chasing. If we win, the gap is 1 point.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 What happened to the 6 second rule for goalkeepers with the ball? Is it even a rule anymore? Adrian just collected it and had hold of it for 16 seconds and it felt like a pretty normal (now) length of time he had it, even though he's clearly time wasting already In relation to this - Pickford held onto the ball for 14, 16 and 19 seconds on 3 occasions during the second half today. I’m not moaning that he did, was just interested to see just how badly this rule is enforced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Am I right in thinking that the teams relegated from Division 1 in 91/92 were relegated to the same league because of the Premier League starting in 92/93? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If a defender in his own box tries wriggling free from a striker for instance, loses the ball and goes down looking for a free-kick to bail him out, can a referee award a penalty for simulation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Simulation is a misconduct not a foul. So it cannot be a penalty, only an IFK if the referee stops play to address the simulation (Most likely the Simulation would be addressed at the next stoppage in play).

HaydnNUFC Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Would play be halted if a manager/coach/substitute ran onto the pitch and tackled an opposition player but the opposition had an advantage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Would play be halted if a manager/coach/substitute ran onto the pitch and tackled an opposition player but the opposition had an advantage? Regardless of the rule I would assume so because of the chaos that would ensue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I've obviously missed it but what's going on at Chelsea these days? Struggling with transfers, pissing Conte about, going after the likes of Carroll and crouch allegedly. Has Roman lost interest or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
