Wullie Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Leeds from 1st to 17th between 91/2 & 92/3 like you say will be close. Not quite as bad but Blackburn tanked pretty badly the season after they won it iirc. Only down to 7th. Leicester was worse, down to 12th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Why do goalkeepers always shout "AWAY" when your defending a corner? I mean don't we all know that's exactly what we're suppose to do? Happens at every level and just seems utterly pointless ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens at every level and just seems utterly pointless ? When I played in goals, “away” was shorthand for “Get it the fuck away from me and my goal.” And no, keepers don’t trust defenders to know exactly what to do. Some might suggest defenders are the drummers of a football team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I thought it was to push the defence out (seeing as they're all probably very deep from the corner) and play any lurkers offside in case the ball is played back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Same reason they shout "mine" when going to claim the ball, I always assumed. It's not like defenders always know what the keeper behind them is doing. Better to have more communication than none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Yeah shouting mine I can understand as then you know not to go for the ball and get in the keepers way. Just seems like I should shout "SAVE IT " everytime the opposition take a shot ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I think there are different rules in the UK for what you're allowed to shout/say compared to over here. Or at least that's what my English coach told me years ago. Either way, keepers are yelling something when they claim a ball in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf 7th isn't alll that bad- still underperforming for the squad they had - but for some reason my teenage memory had them floating around lower mid-table having a proper shocker.

Merit to this - calling “mine” is a yellow card in Australia, right from Under 7s to, I’m pretty sure, semi-pro level (at least) EDIT Actually, it’s only a free kick until U11s, because little kids don’t get cards here...

Does that rule apply to everyone, even if they're going for the ball themselves? When I did my ref's training (in 1998 so a while back) it was only a yellow card for ungentlemanly conduct if you were stood behind an opponent and said it dishonestly to make them leave it. Packed reffing in a couple years later so not up to date with the nuances in the rules. I'd also add that even in the 90s every coach of every youth team, even those that just seemed to coach the kids to cheat rather than play football, was telling their players to "put a name on it" rather than shouting "mine." Sorry if that's a daft question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if that's a daft question. Yep, no one can call “mine”, at all, ever. If that’s weird, try this one - in U7-U11, a “goal kick” is in fact three short passes at the back before “play on”. Part of the FFA’s attempt to impose a tactical discipline on grassroots football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Yeah we had no restrictions on what we were able to shout a teammates. Don't think the US is an advanced enough footballing nation for us to catch onto confusing opponents like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Is Jack Grealish actually as good as he is rated as. Seen him a few times this season and never seen anything particularly special. What I see is a half decent midfielder playing with poorer players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see is a half decent midfielder playing with poorer players I'm in the same camp here. He does have the flair and composure of a better player but I'm rarely wow'd by anything he does, other than his ability to win freekicks at a canter.

nufcjb Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just would like to ask. Is it a mandatory rule that the goal nets have to use the current rectangular shape with the extension poles behind it? I used to like the goalposts and net combos that were triangular in shape. The last time most stadiums used those kinds were before Euro 96. After the rectangular one were used in that tournament, most stadia stadia switched to that, St James' Park too. Is there a rule that the current one must be used?

I think he gets too hung up on this most fouled player thing and plays for it too often to the detriment of his game. He's much more effective when he's trying to move the ball on quickly then get himself forward between the lines showing for a return pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 When I played in goal I would yell "KEEPER'S!!!" rather than "MINE!" as that way you knew it was me (the keeper) claiming the ball and not one of the defence.
