Quote from: Rossfan on Today at 08:42:26 AMShouldn't Refs be speaking out behind the scenes?

Quote from: maldini on October 10, 2024, 11:07:21 PMI like the tap & go rule with frees

What's the point in the 1 v 1 for the throw ups? How's that going to make games be less negative?

It's going to be hard for your average club refs to police a lot of these.
One team on the attack they will have to turn and count the number of people in the other half while keeping an eye on where a shot is being taken from to see if it's a 2 pointer

Again I question the understanding these people have of 99% of the actual playing membership.

Completely elitist

Quote from: square_ball on October 10, 2024, 09:13:56 AMThe vanishing foam to mark where the free kick should be taken should be a no brainer to introduce. The yards being stole by free kick takers is getting worse. I am not sure why referees aren't penalising this as it is.

Taking a few yards is done by both teams and not punished, so its only a problem for the team that hasn't got a free, as they don't complain when their own free taker does the same thing, unpunished.

But I've said the foam is a good option as its a physical line they see, also the referee's watch could be blue-toothed to the clock at pitch side, so when he stops his watch for subs/injuries then the supporters can see, exactly what time is left, rather than 'injury time' once the clock hits 30 (per half) whistle blown.

Cuts out that crying from supporters and management about added time and so on

Have put my back out myself with a sneeze but that's more age relative!

I like a good loud sneeze, if my daughter doesn't shout down the stairs after I sneeze, did I sneeze at all?

Controlling the weather?

Discuss.

Yes we are controlling the weather by abusing the planet, so while she is a complete f**king loony, governments around the world are currently making the weather the way it is.

People like her would have been burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, the downside to a modern world  ;D

Quote from: Rossfan on October 09, 2024, 01:03:12 PMYou're all for it but then you say most of the rules are silly  and won't be implemented?!,

Nothing about the handpass, throw points or "push" goals.
Does anything in the new proposals stop sideways backwards passing or the other team standing back letting them at it?


Is there currently a rule that you can throw a point? What's wrong with "push" goals?

Think the distinction between throwing a ball and pushing it is clear enough? To throw the ball the player will have taken possession of the ball? and pushing it means he hasn't taken possession of the ball and steers it into the net? a bit like if two midfielders climb to contest the ball at the throw in and one player palms the ball to his midfield partner?

Not sure what you mean about the difference?

Quote from: GTP on October 09, 2024, 08:25:25 AMA number of the club championship matches over the weekend seemed to be affected by a strong wind favouring one team in each half. Under the proposed new rules which t quote the BBC website
"will reward long-range shooting with scores from outside a newly constituted 40-metre arc - bar converted 45s - which go over the bar being worth two points as opposed to one. In addition, goals would be worth four points"
Is there any incentive for a team playing against the wind to come out of the 40 metre arc?

As I see it the best choice is to limit goal chances and force teams to shoot from distance. Even with the possibility of 2 points for the score from outside the arc, would the majority of club teams (at all levels) have a set of regular scorers from this distance.


I've no idea what this change is going to do to improve the quality of the game. I really think they all must have sat in a small air tight room and smoked a few joints and came up with these ideas!

Someone had mention 13 Lives recently, a Ron Howard film with Coin Farrell (and others) I'll not mention the storyline for fear of giving it away  ;)

But very good, bit of a emotional rollercoaster

Quote from: samuel maguire on October 09, 2024, 08:22:06 AMAm i the only only who don't really believe the Menendez brothers? Ive a feeling they've been caught and are both 2 psychopaths and have decided to fabricate a large proportion of this.

Who knows what goes on in peoples house behind close doors

But they did blow their heads off, they were loaded anyways regardless of whether it was for money or that they were both psychopaths, though having two brothers as psychopaths would be high enough odds I'd assume?

They avoided the death penalty, so they can be thankful enough for that, I don't buy they killed them first before they were going to be killed, but there may be some truth about the abuse that went on, whether that gives you a reason to do what they did is another thing

Have you any more history lessons soupy?

At what point do you go back in history to validate the Israeli rule in that area?

Is it just dates that suit?

Quote from: imtommygunn on October 08, 2024, 11:24:56 AMMON usually more capable than this.

She has things to be doing without having to sort out this kind of thing, she been badly let down by the team.

You wouldn't expect her to be over every jot and tittle, would you?


Nope, but had the other side did (do lol) then they'd be saying they must have seen this or that.

Politics is a game, some times you're winning, then others times not so much, who actually, really deep down gives a flying f**k? 

Head down, get to retirement, earn a few bob and enjoy your life..

Quote from: whitey on October 08, 2024, 07:05:46 PMSo we have unanimous condemnation of Israel's response to the October 7th attack, but not one person is willing to share what they think an appropriate response would have been.

Secondly, not one person (well maybe one) has been able to articulate what Hamas hoped to achieve by their actions on October 7th.

And BTW-saying that this "all began long before October 7th" is another way of saying the Israelis had it coming to them and deserve everything they got




Dead on soupy, whatever ya think
