r0cafella Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I always voluntereed to go in goal in what the article calls Wembleys (we called them Taqui-Gol in Spain, I still don't know why) Our rule against goalhanging was that you had to run out of the box if you stole the ball or caught a rebound - otherwise if you scored it wouldn't count. Clean and simple. Penner or goal?/Penalty or goal? - THE most arrogant rule in playground football and a logical trick: the team who scored a contentious (i.e. illegitimate) goal offers the defending team the option of conceding a goal or, ostensibly reasonably, a penalty despite neither being the correct outcome under FIFA's Laws of the Game. A team may play this card whenever a ball goes close to being over the outside of the post (see above). Hated, HATED that. Same rules as I used to play. Although If someone deflected one of my shots they'd get my goal. VI if you wanted to goal in goal that would constitute you as being rubbish where I'm from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I *was* rubbish, a Fat Kid to be exact. I ended up being a decent goalie though, and played as one in Sunday League up until my late 20s! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team may play this card whenever a ball goes close to being over the outside of the post (see above). Hated, HATED that. Can honestly say I've never heard of that rule. At school we used to play 2nd years v 3rd years and 4th years v 5th years. I don't know what the fuck that equates to in the new style year 8 system we appear to have stole from the yanks, and I care even less. The contentious goal rule was very simple, the older team got the benefit of the doubt. The younger team kept their gob shut for fear of getting their heads kicked in.

Interpolic Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Another lad's dad turned up absolutely smashed every now and again and gave us a rousing team talk where we were told to break the other team's legs. We ignored him like but it was always funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
