Guest sheridans_world Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I dont think its been mentioned but a guy hit the cross bar today at half-time. Granted the ball bounced first but it hit. Now when I have seen this competition (even on Soccer AM) I believe that even if the ball bounces and then hits the cross bar, it still counts. What do you lot think??

Now when I have seen this competition (even on Soccer AM) I believe that even if the ball bounces and then hits the cross bar, it still counts. What do you lot think?? The rules, as created by Soccer AM when they introduced the game, were that the ball could bounce and hit the bar and it would count... which means that lucky sod gets 2 10year season tickets!!

adamoafc Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I thought I had... no they dont count ones that bounce happened a few weeks ago and they didnt count it Max said it had to hit first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sheridans_world Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I still think it should count!! Well done whoever it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsChris Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i think he should be allowed the win. Its not like people have been hitting the bar with a bounce all the time, its still bloody hard! i couldnt beleive it when franny said he had to hit it first time, very harsh...

Max Damage Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Franny probably took pity on him saving him from 10 years of that crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The prize for missing is a 25 year season ticket!! Seriously, I think they should pay up on this one. If not, at least let the poor sod have a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futchers briefs Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 What a load of bollocks.....You either hit the bar (without bouncing!!) or you bog off back to your seat.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The big news to be announced this week or next week, depending on whether you know what day it is, may be that a panel of players, who regularly toiuch the bar instead of scoring, has decided that the unlucky contestant should be invited to go on the next players' night out as a consolation prize.

Delfer Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Soccer AM counted it once in the early days of it starting, then changed it to no bounce allowed. Not easy though, not many pro's do it even with kit and boots on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics and England Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Presumably there are some written rules that contestants are given before takng part. I spot a potential legal case here. As with all football related legal cases, I blame Sheffield United Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Presumably there are some written rules that contestants are given before takng part. I spot a potential legal case here. As with all football related legal cases, I blame Sheffield United Ah, but I blame West Ham. It was their strectching the rules by claiming the season ticket on a bounce in the first place. Always moaning about how hard doen by they are, that lot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Does anyone think all the contestants are missing on purpose so they DON'T get a season ticket for 10 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Miserable sods. The main problem is to kick it hard enough, probably needs as much energy to get it to bounce back up as get it direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
