Deuce Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Can't imagine it'd be all that difficult to knick it off his back if you're the other team. Or you miss and send a boot into the back of his head, in which case he won't do it again. I know it's a stupid hypothetical, but then wouldn't the high boot be penalised? I've honestly wondered about this since my playground days I mean, it's gonna happen and you'll totally be vindicated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Assuming you could get out of your own penalty box with the ball balanced on your shoulder, and then all the way to the opposition penalty box the opposition goalie would then easily be able to pick it off your shoulder with his hands.

Incognito Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 How about you get a bloke to put on a pair of Buster Gonad underpants, get the keeper to put the ball in them, and he can jog into the opposite goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Wasn't there a brazilian player who used to balance the ball on his head and run towards the goal. (Nilmar maybe?) Used to get hacked like fuck after a few attempts mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I don't think there's a rule against it but it'd be disallowed for unsporting conduct or something like that. This is the answer (although the rule is called playing in a dangerous manner) - it places the ball in such s position that it cannot be played legally without risk of injury Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andyburn Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 What's the use of the fifth and sixth officials, extra linesmen, whatever they're called? I dont mean in making decisions, we all know linesmen just wait for the ref then agree, but why are they on the goalline that is adjacent to a linesman? Surely. if they are to serve a purpose, they should be on the opposite side i.e. the side on which the linesman patrols the opposite half, to the right of the goal?

Guest Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Why can't goalkeepers place the ball onto a stooped-over defender's back, sort of near the shoulder blades and balance it up. Then the defender can run up the other end into the goal like a hunchback Forrest Gump? cos it would roll off near their own 18 yard box and cause all sorts of defensive problems. I'm sure you could angle your shoulder blades back to balance it up by your neck If you're 1-0 up at half time and have kick off, is there anything to stop the ball being booted back, 10 men huddle round the ball so no one can get through, and keep it there for 45 minutes?

stlouismag Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The ball just needs to be "within playing distance" to avoid an impeding (obstruction) call, which varies based upon the speed at which the players are moving, so it could conceivably not be impeding if the circle of players was small enough. It would definitely be "unsporting behaviour" in the opinion of this referee regardless, and it'd be a yellow card (or even better, a second yellow) for whichever bastard I liked the least on the team that tried it.

henke Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 How far down the leagues do you have to go, in England, until you start seeing artificial pitches? I was just thinking about how there's at least one in most European top flights now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Do we start a new financial year with our accounts tomorrow? I know the accounts run a year in arrears but are they always dated July 1st to June 30th. Just thinking out loud about how we're going to arrange deals and cash in and out of the club to comply with ffp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andyburn Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I was under the impression that at kickoff, the ball first has to cross the centre line in a forward manner. Just watched Ronaldo kick-off by passing it back... Or am I wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
