FC United v Blyth Spartans in the FA cup.Fair to say the Blyth keeper was in no rush to get the game going
As back up? Because I don’t see him improving their time wasting ability.Motherwell are being strongly linked with him.
Seeing garbage like that more and more, just play the game you wetwipe.
Or notLike it or not it's a part of the game.
That stadium is better than most SPFL efforts. Or, am I missing something?
A goal kick can be taken from anywhere inside the Goal Area (6 yard box).I've never understood why keepers are allowed to take it to the opposite side of the 6 yard box for goal kicks?
I vaguely remember keepers having to take it from the side it went out did I make that up?I've never understood why keepers are allowed to take it to the opposite side of the 6 yard box for goal kicks?
No that was the rule for many years. It was obviously open to abuse as well as a keeper might choose the wrong side of the goals and more time wasted when the ref made him swap sides. And they always did.I vaguely remember keepers having to take it from the side it went out did I make that up?
Thought that was the case. Wondered why it changed it seems like it should be the obvious rule.No that was the rule for many years. It was obviously open to abuse as well as a keeper might choose the wrong side of the goals and more time wasted when the ref made him swap sides. And they always did.
The reason why we’ll have an hours playing time fairly soon, instead of the current nonsense.Seeing garbage like that more and more, just play the game you wetwipe.
What Kelly was doing last week was the worst I’ve seen.When the opposition does it we call it cheating and time wasting.
When we do it , it's called great time management.
He was ‘jogging’ to quickly to take the goal kick.Mcgregor would be proud.
mcgregors finest is running to get the ball at billboards but kicking it ‘by accident’ as if he’s tripped into it and it goes over the boards.
it’s like an actual game to him haha
There's ways and means of running the clock down tactically on the park, that being said the more clowns like that keeper get away with it the more it'll happen.The reason why we’ll have an hours playing time fairly soon, instead of the current nonsense.
If it’s on the park and the ball is in play, how can time be wasted?There's ways and means of running the clock down tactically on the park, that being said the more clowns like that keeper get away with it the more it'll happen.
I'm meaning running the clock down tactically, in the corners, ball possession etc, I understand what you are saying and agree with you, Shagger is well capable of stealing a few seconds here and there when needed but not to the extent of Kelly last week or the OP.. only way to stop it is to stop the clock when ball goes out of play, thats never going to happen. Refs need to be stronger now that its happening week in week out.If it’s on the park and the ball is in play, how can time be wasted?
Providing the referee is doing his bit
100% agree. I’m not paying 30 quid a game or whatever it is to watch some wee provincial jobbing goalie walk slowly along his 6 yard box before taking a goal kick.It could be stopped overnight if referees take appropriate action. That Motherwell keeper last week; does it once warn him, does a second time book him, does it again and he’s off. If referees applied this approach it would soon stop. It might be part of the game as things stand but football is supposed to be entertaining and there should be no place for cheating.
I read a piece in the last fortnight that says FIFA have a proposal already on their desk.I'm meaning running the clock down tactically, in the corners, ball possession etc, I understand what you are saying and agree with you, Shagger is well capable of stealing a few seconds here and there when needed but not to the extent of Kelly last week or the OP.. only way to stop it is to stop the clock when ball goes out of play, thats never going to happen.

Blyth is a pretty big deal over there with the Geordies. My sister lives there and my brother in law never misses a game

Just inroduce ball in play. It wouldn’t be part of the game anymore.Like it or not it's a part of the game.
