Newcastle 2 - 1 Spurs - 18/08/12 - post-match jubilation from page 35


Recommended Posts

 

Canny vid. :lol:

 

Holy shit what a weird creepy man.  The intro and outro are special to say the least.

 

The atmosphere sounded fucking brilliant though, gave me goosebumps, can't wait to make it to SJP for an actual match.

Modric leaving will be the nail in the coffin for this current Spurs side. I'm not saying AVB will fail but I do believe they will get worse before they get better.

 

When a new manager comes in, everything changes. I certainly can't see them in the top four.

Just found out that Taylors header to Krul on Saturday was actually illegal and Spurs should have been given a free kick. Manufacturing a back pass or something along those lines. Well there you go.

 

Eh? So does that mean every header back to the keeper is treat as the same?

 

I just thought as long as it was passed to a keeper via a header it was allowed?

I said at the time that when the backpass rule was first brought in people were trying that in the friendlies before the season started and were told in no uncertain terms you weren't allowed to do it.

There are different circumstances when a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour, eg if a player:

 

...

 

uses a deliberate trick while the ball is in play to pass the ball to his own goalkeeper with his head, chest, knee etc. in order to circumvent the Law

 

Should have been an indirect freekick and a booking. :lol:

That rule is ridiculously vague.

So all heading back to the keeper is illegal? Stupid rule, glad no one enforces it (but probably will now)

 

Allegedly it's fine if the ball is in a 'natural' position, like a normal header or chest. Getting down like Taylor did is apparently unsportsmanlike because ordinarily he'd have kicked a ball on the deck. :laugh:

Thats the rule in question-

 

uses a deliberate trick while the ball is in play to pass the ball to his own goalkeeper with his head, chest, knee, etc. in order to circumvent the Law, irrespective of whether the goalkeeper touches the ball with his hands or not. The offence is committed by the player in attempting to circumvent both the letter and the spirit of the Law 12 and play is restarted with an indirect free kick.

 

although I feel this applies to when a player flicks the ball up into the air and heads it back to the keeper, and even that isn't punished. I think it was the Dutch national team that didn't like the backpass rule when it was introduced so they would kneel on the ball so the keeper could pick it up, and then this clause was added.

If that's the case then the same should have happened to Assou-Ekotto when he chipped it up for himself and then headed it back to Friedel during the 5-0 loss.

 

I can't imagine referees going with that rule unless FIFA start making a big deal of it. Which, I can't see happening unless England, or an English team somehow benefit from it.
