New rule being trialled. Corner given if goalie holds ball for more than 8 seconds?

[Earth Worm Jim]

Good idea?

 

[ssblue]

Used to be 4 seconds. Edit - 6 seconds.

Was never enforced though.

 

[Cyberniv]

Good idea, but would it benefit us?

 

[ssblue]

Can't see any keeper being worried about giving us a corner.

Would only waste more time.

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

I remember the old four step rule.

 

[Killer Bob]

Good idea , not open to interpretation

 

[FT72]

Just book him the first time, and it won't happen again.

 

[SubGenius]

Terrific news.

The more corners the merrier for us.

 

[Zico]

Our referees will struggle. They’d struggle to tie their laces.

Counting to 8 is probably beyond their capability.

 

[Hipster Dashie]

Take it Arsene Weger came up with this idea. Will suit Arsenal.

 

[JHRD1872]

How about they just enforce the rule that's already in place ?

 

[helicopter-sunday]

Good idea, but would it benefit us?

With our corners, it will actually benefit the opposition

 

[Googsly 8]

Used to be 4 seconds.

CERTAIN teams will be exempt from this up here . In England Arsenal would be scoring 8or9 goals per game lol

 

[Iain04]

Is the rules not already there for the holding the ball too long?

 

[insanicdrunk]

I remember the old four step rule.

Keepers taking exaggerated backward steps if they were too close to the 18yd line.

Re this trial, why not enforce the 6 second rule already there? Extend it to 8 if you want, but still no need for new laws.

If his team mates needed a wee rest I reckon he would go for it.

another rule that would only be enforced when it suits

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Used to be 4 seconds.

Celtic qualified for The UCK off of the back of yhe only referee I have ever witnessed enforcing the old rule.

I think the match was played in Russia.

 

[Anony Mouse]

Waiting for first keeper to be caught with this in scotland, especially with refs mickey mouse watches.
And on subject of keepers. Why is the rule for keepers not implemented about when kicking ball out, when over 18 yd line.

 

[insanicdrunk]

Yip, bugs me that they don’t enforce it then talk about this shit.

If the play is stopped with the ball on the park there are ways for the game to restart, pen, fk or drop ball, why introduce a different way by awarding a corner? Why not a throw in line with the “offence”?

 

[Baxterno6]

Why do so called supporters on here uses every post on here to have a go at Rangers as the old saying goes if you dont like it.

 

[Macky]

Used to be 4 seconds.

It’s 6 seconds and it still exists, just never ever gets enforced.

 

[Kit_]

Corners barely feel like an advantage these days don’t see the point.

 

[bLuE PirAtE]

As an aside McCrorie looked outside the area every time he was kicking the ball long.

 

[GazzaG]

Our referees will struggle. They’d struggle to tie their laces.

Counting to 8 is probably beyond their capability.

They can count to 8 when we have free kicks.
The problem is that they don't continue on to 10.

 

[Danty]

One easy change they could make - stop letting goalkeepers take goal kicks from the opposite side of the box.

If they waste time from a goal kick - give the other team a corner.

 

[Mons Calpe]

Holding on to ball isn't the real issue. Keepers fannying about at GK is my bug bear. They should have 10 secs from getting the ball to set it up and play it out. Failure to do so then opposition get possession on the D.
Score board should start counting down so refs can 'interpret' the time.

 

[Anony Mouse]

Thats why i commented abo e you and keepers o er line. Noticed it a few times last night. I was always led to believe that assistant (linesman in old terms) was positioned at 18 yd line when keeper kicked ball out. So why hasn't he noticed.

 

[F5_BTE]

Joe Lewis will be delighted he retired.

 

[douzpwa]

Good idea, but would it benefit us?

No but it would only be enforced on us and a var check if down to the bear minimum of the 7th second?

 

[Attilio Lombardo]

Sounds like a good idea.

 

[ArrEffSee]

Doesn't make any sense? How about enforcing the current rule and booking the keeper for time wasting or maybe an indirect free kick from where he's holding it.
A corner seems random.

If the balls at the GK's feet it's in the hands of the opposition to press quickly as a unit and put their team under pressure

Clancey, Walsh and Robertson are great at counting to 8 when they are pacing out a wall at one of our free kicks.

 

[blueman14]

It’s 6 seconds and it still exists, just never ever gets enforced.

Only time I seen a keeper done for it was Klos when we were away in Europe against some team.

 

[superallythe2nd]

%^*& corners. Make it a penalty.

Same with fannying about at goal-kicks. If the ball is not back in play within 15 seconds = penalty. No reason this can't be done at the top level when multi-ball systems are in place.

This letting a keeper continually waste time before a token booking late on is pish. Needs to be an instant deterrent.

 

[thornhill bear]

Used to be 4 seconds.

Was never enforced though.

always thought it was 6

 

[Davie_Mitchell]

Can goalies ask VAR to intervene? If it’s 7.999999 seconds, they get a drop ball in their favour. It’s that level of farce with offside, so why not.

 

[Vinted]

Used to be 4 seconds.

Was never enforced though.

Are you sure it wasn't 6? That is what I remember, and 4 is very little time. They are also going to try a kick--in instead of a throw-in. They also should stop the keepers being able to place the ball on any side of the goal as it is being misused.

 

[scottie626]

1 sec 2 sec 3 sec 3 1/2 sec 4 sec 5 sec 5 1/2 sec 6 sec 7 sec 7 1/2 sec hurry up 8 sec = 12 seconds

It was 6

 

[DavieCooper on the wing]

Nothing happens just now,refs hardly ever book keepers now for holding the ball for 6 seconds.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Spartan Moscow '07

 

[Souness’s Mouser]

Corners barely feel like an advantage these days don’t see the point.

The opposition give up possession.

The keeper can’t waste at least 30 seconds with every goal kick as happens just now

whilst our set pieces have been woeful this season, would you rather have a corner or a goalkeeper launching the ball into our half?

You’re right though, no point really is there?

 

[The Blue Lamp]

Fkin hell, we'd better start improving at corners then, as we'd be being awarded one every time the opposition GK has the ball if such a rule was enforced.

 

[Cyberniv]

Our referees will struggle. They’d struggle to tie their laces.

Counting to 8 is probably beyond their capability.

As is 10 yards.

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Allan McGregor would have hated this rule

Loved it when we needed to waste time and he would collect the ball and theatrically tumble to the ground.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

I would take all the timekeeping away from the referee. They can't enforce anything to do with time. Seen the end of the Liverpool game today and I can't believe they were so accurate he could blow for time up as Newcastle were about to score.

 

[possilbear2]

Can scottish Refs count to 8

 

[Mons Calpe]

Waiting for a goal kick to be taken?
