But here, when somebody asks a question I´d say either offer up a reply with no add-on sarcastic comment or just don't reply.Quote from: Main Street on April 02, 2024, 12:42:19 AMQuote from: Rossfan on April 01, 2024, 06:48:51 PMOn a point of order Main St....I was replying to a ref,do you think he would know that?
There is no 14 metre lineQuote from: Milltown Row2 on April 01, 2024, 06:38:28 PMI was not that serious about the 89% but my point stands, anybody here in this thread should be able to ask a question about a rule without some level of mockery directed against them re the ignorance of said questioner, give or take a metre or so.Quote from: Main Street on April 01, 2024, 04:53:31 PMQuote from: Milltown Row2 on April 01, 2024, 04:25:21 PMimtommygunn was asking a question. Are us plebs not allowed to ask questions in the Rules&Regulations discussion thread without being cyber mocked by a (self claimed) 89% expert on the rules?Quote from: imtommygunn on April 01, 2024, 04:21:28 PMIs it not the same premise? I.e. no goal?
To look at the rule differently
An attacker can't carry the ball over the line, no goal
A defender though if he carries the ball over the line it's a goal
So it's nearly the same as the above question.
Which is in the rule book that everyone is an expert on
The reason I gave the percentage is this, surely the ref's know all the rules? the reality is different, at club level you only need get 80%, and most just get over that percentage, and not on the first attempt either mind you.
So when people are on a discussion board discussing this was a foul and why was that given, it gives you some perspective on the over the fence ref's! Most would fail miserably on a rules test but are ready to berate you for 60 minutes!
It's a discussion board yes and my posts are mainly tongue firmly in cheek but as wobbler said, it's annoying when people come across so right in their view that they take offence when corrected!
This filters down to behind the fence, on sideline and on the pitch. You'd expect senior players to know the rules? So if I come across with some mockery, don't take it personally, it's frustration mainly.
