monkeykieran Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 What most annoys me are two things: 1. Defenders bringing down or holding attackers in the box and always getting away with it 2. Linesmen and Refs NEVER giving advantage to the attacking team on offline decisions, and not actaully using the "clear ground" official rule to ffside. Without these two breaches of the official rules which go on in every game there would be more goals, and that would make footy more exciting.

Without these two breaches of the official rules which go on in every game there would be more goals, and that would make footy more exciting. if you mean the thing about daylight being between attacker & last defender then i'm 99% sure that doesn't apply any more, it was a very brief rule. however i dont have my rule book at work with me so maybe someone who has one at hand/has a better memory than me could confirm or deny my thoughts...? whilst we're on the offside rule, it really does my head in! lets just have the old fashioned rule where if you're offside, then your offside, none of this being 'active' rubbish. In the words of the great brian clough (i think) 'if you're not interfering with play, what are you doing on the pitch?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that was an instruction/suggestion about how to apply it rather than a new rule. It is sort of a grey area, like if your trailing foot is level with the big toe of the defender's front foot is that onside? But you just know, don't you? They are either ahead or they aren't.

Yeah the rules haven't changed, as suggested it's a recommendation on how to apply it My problem is that I think they should apply it in the sense that it was receommended, but they don't. And yes definately agree on the "active" part of the offiside rule, it's bloody stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It annoys me that referrees very rarely go back and give yellows or reds for bad fouls if they have let the advantage go for any length of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeykieran Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 One other thing... Players (especially at the top level) who feign injury to break up the flow of a team or time waste. Hate it. Easy to get away with without punishment either. Time-wasting in general - hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes definately agree on the "active" part of the offiside rule, it's bloody stupid Don't laugh but I though the rule had changed now where it is the lower body part (ie feet) that are offside !!!!!! Sure i heard it mentioned on MOTD last week ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure i heard it mentioned on MOTD last week ?? As I understand it, it is the forward point of any part of your body that can play the ball. So your arms and hands can't be but all alse can be.

Scapegoat Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Exactly - how bloody annoying - kill everyone and let's stand up! Hillsborough / Talyor report debate creeping into this conversation. I think everyone agreed after this something needed to be done - but was it seating or the removal of the cattle pen style fencing at the front that has made it safer? I personally think that the removal of the fencing was what has made a repeat incident very unlikely as the crowd could now just step over the hoardings and avoid the crush. No barriers at the front, good quality terracing with limited people would in my opinion be just as safe and a lot cheaper. But I am now older and lazier and have got used to plonking my arse down on a bit of plastic for the best part of 90 minutes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everybody_loves_richard Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Two thinks that wind me up, and I know they really shouldn't... 1. When a shot goes high or wide and the opposition fans jeer, the commentator always talks about "ironic cheers". They are not ironic cheers, they are sarcastic cheers. 2. Also on the subject of commentators, anyone ever noticed how many call Wayne Rooney "Rayne Wooney"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
