Shirt Pulling

Re: Shirt Pulling

This has been going on for years and I have never understood why it is not classed as obstruction.

That’s another bugbear of mine, the defender who’s ’shepherding’ the ball out for a goal kick, sticking his fat arse into the forward, has no intention of playing the ball. It’s obstruction.

Re: Shirt Pulling

The whole situation with corners is a farce & a lottery. Personally I would bring the referee’s assistant more into play and position them on the opposite side to the referee on the edge of the 6 yard box and allow them to recover by crossing the pitch. The holding, tugging, blocking etc. makes a mockery of the game.

Re: Shirt Pulling

Is it accepted by refs as ok now? There’s times in all games now, not just ours, where it’s clearly visible to all, yet the game just carries on. The more it goes unpunished, the more it continues. I’m sure that in the past a blatant pulling of the opponent’s shirt in the penalty area would result in a spot kick. There’s times when it’s so obvious that you can see the player’s bare back, no free kick though, frustrating & annoying.

hate to be pedantic but you spelt pelanty wrong.

Re: Shirt Pulling

It would be interesting to see the effect if a team had shirts that ripped at the slightest contact. It would make it obvious as to who was having his shirt pulled.

Or had that exploding blue dye sewn into them like they put in cash cases!

:hehe: Players should have a buzzer attached to them like that board game 'Operation' every time they're fouled the buzzer goes off. All players would have their own unique sound. Etete could have the Air Raid Siren.

Re: Shirt Pulling

That said I thought both Darling and Meite should have been sent off: Meite for his stupidity in giving the ref a decision to make and Darling for seeking to grab the City player's throat. Neither player came out of it with any credit.

Totally agree. Both were behaving without much dignity. I didn't like to see Meite clap the ref a few minutes later, either.
