Or is the Raymond Burr tv disability worrying them?
Brilliant strike.
I reckon he meant it too, sure one or two will disagree though.

Good job it bounced. What would the ref have given if it didnt?
A 6 obviously!!Quote:

Saw this nearly happen when reffing straight after the October 87 Great Storm. A GK took the kick, the ball went up into the air and the wind took it back and just over the bar. Same applies from a throw in if it goes straight in the net without touching the ground or a player.Quote:

It doesn’t have to bounce.
Law 15 covers the throw in, if it goes directly into the opponents goals, a goal kick is awarded. If it goes directly into the thrower’s goals, a corner kick is awarded.Quote:

I get that but, once back home, it would have been nice to revert to their original moniker.Quote:

It must be a fairly recent change that a goal is awarded direct from a goal kick but a goal it is as the law now states and Newport’s ‘keeper has proved.Quote:

You're right - they weren't allowed to play in Wales by yhe FAW when they wouldn't join the League of Wales and they decided to play in exile on a number of grounds in the Cotswolds, starting with Moreton in the Marsh.Quote:

I imagine it never had the opportunity to took root for long enough but were the city ever referred to as the ‘riversiders’ at any point in our history?
Is this a long standing forum joke because there's no way you can believe he meant it hahaQuote:

I'll see if rule changes over the years may have given a different interpretation. A mate of mine's brother used to be a ref. His last match was....City v QPR, years back. I'll enquire. In the meantime, I'm looking for an example of a keeper who has scored directly from a goal kick, without the ball touching the ground.Quote:

We were known as The Citizens I always thought, and the Echo reporter who covered us in the 1920s pen name was Citizen.Quote:

Saying that if it ever happened to us a different name than Bluebirds would be unthinkable!
