Did i read you can't put attackers in a wall as another rule change this year ?
I’m glad they’ve amended this, it was happening way too often. Week in, week out the ball being launched 100 & odd yards over everyone’s head and nestling in the back of the opposition net. Great to see the powers that be have their fingers on the pulse!!!!!
If they are bringing in rule changes I’d be happy to help. I’ve got loads of good ideas for little tweaks that would improve the game.
This can't be right.
What if the goalie goes forward near the end and throws a long throw into the box that goes in. That won't count either if this stupid rule change is right.
Didn’t think you could score direct from a throw in anyway, hasn’t it got to touch another player? Or has this law altered? It used to be corner kick if you threw it direct into your own goal & a goal kick if you threw it direct into your opposition goal. May have changed recently, can’t keep up with the law meddling.
Where is Gary Sprake when you need him?
I remember a few people on here last year grumbling about the new kick off rule where the ball can go any direction instead of just forward. Why do they have to fiddle etc etc
In reality it made no negative difference to anyone's enjoyment. This will be the same. I assume it's happened on some windswept or slanted pitch and it's just tidying up the rules for the one in a million match. It does no harm at all.
How many times recently has there been a shitstorm about VAR when it turns out it was the VAR that was right all along but the actual rules that were bollocks
The thing is the offside rule was brought in to stop goal hanging, so why does it need to be judged on such a small measurement? Change the rule to make it air between the players again.
I don't think VAR is needed in football but at least when it's for black and white decisions it will make the right call. When it's for the ball being kicked at someone's arm it is a joke.
Pretty sure that in the NFL it is supposed to be used only to overturn demonstrably and clearly wrong decisions on the pitch. It is fair to say that it is used far more than that and they do use it to split hairs, but I think the original purpose has some validity. If it stuck to that, then I'd be fine with it. Maybe give the ref just one look at the screen - if it is obviously wrong then change it, if it is ambiguous then the on-field decision stays. I.e. it would be used to deal with hand of god things which are obvious; but not the 1966 did-it-cross-the-line stuff where you just stick to the original call.
If its influence cannot be limited to correcting palpable errors, then just bin it because it is shite as it is.
