What's exciting about watching two people head a ball from a goal kick on the half way line. But now the press starts with two players waiting outside the box to close down all the teams they know do this. And then you get to watch as the defenders play triangle passes with the goalkeeper to try and get out of it. And when they do they with get a well done from the crowd ( or a cheer from the tannoy now.) And when they dont it leads to a chance on goal. I dont mind the rule. Then football is dead ! fair enough .. too many daft changes for me. football was great ... now it’s crap. There’s got to be a reason. I’m talking about top tier football too of course.

Ellis Rimmer Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I prefer a rougher, more physical game than the one we see today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players only with an ň and a ç in thier middle name may also act as a second goal keeper, but only whilst wearing both a kilt and pirate earing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkskaphil Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I hadn’t really noticed anyone kicking up a fuss about this rule change before. The one I think is the worst is the one regarding handball in the run-up to a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakefieldinleed1 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Leeds fan in peace. one of the reason it was brought in, was teams were starting to cheat with the old rule. they could waste time by deliberately passing it to someone In the box, ref would have to make them retake it. in other words waste time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like passing it back to Barry for him to hoof it out to the right wing every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke of a rule .. made by the new connoisseurs of perfect football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not pass along the goal line for ten minutes. completely ruining the game ... possession possession possession. .. what’s happening ?? stupid idea !! Sorry. Plays into the hands of teams with the most money who can pass from one end to the other. I’m not wrong How did you get to minus 57, perhaps you posted a thread that nobody agreed with ?

It used to be that the goal should be disallowed if it was deemed to be on purpose, the new rule is that it has to be disallowed even it is completely accidental and has no effect on the passage of play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCOWl Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Not a rule as such but a moan while others are at it, got to clamp down on shirt pulling in the box. There is a rule that it's a foul but that seems to go out of the window at every set piece when the ball is delivered in to the box. Start giving penalties... shed loads of them... We'll see some entertainment until the managers instil it in to their team to stop doing it... Sorry, moan over but I'm an old fashioned centre half and I hate to see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realised that it is not actually fifa holding us back it is our own national footballing bodies such as the fa and the pl. I always thought the changes to football where fifas to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
