Re: Changes In Football thread

And the delay would then be 5 mins as the nominated keeper changes jerseys, gets gloves on etc. And then another 5 minutes to change back, 60 seconds later. Just make them put on a bib and a pair of gloves that they keep behind the goal. Well yes, I'd go for that, with zero seconds delay to the gam...

Re: Changes In Football thread

It is also expected that the IFAB board will rule that injured players who go down for treatment must leave the field for 60 seconds unless they were hurt by a foul that led to a yellow or red card. It will not apply to goalkeepers. There seems to have been a bigger increase in keeper's feigning in...

Re: Weekend Football

Well I won’t be bothering with the 2nd half of that shiteshow. Has been pretty shite, terrible conditions. The pitch looks really slow, which is the only excuse for the poor passing Great counterattack goal from Sesko, all about the pass from Cunha. also, It's about time they banned the pressure on...

Re: Weekend Football

VAR trying their best to screw Liverpool over again. No way should Macca’s ricochet have been disallowed. PGMOL can breathe a relief they managed get another. I know my eyes aren't great but I thought the ball just hit Macca's back and I'm not sure that the point of the elbow would have produced en...

Re: Bolton fall out

Richardson has certainly got SOMETHING going and we should be happy about that after everything that has gone before. Doesn't mean I have to like it. As I said in post-match comments, not one player appears confident receiving the ball or in possession, except Marriott when he is steaming towards go...

Re: Weekend Football

And again, Arsenal got exactly what they deserved. The whole mindset as set by Arteta is just not good enough. Why take a short corner in added time rather than playing one of their killer balls into the 6 yard area….? Because it will use up a few more seconds against the team with 9 points. That’s ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (h)

In recent matches I’ve had the misfortune to see, not one player has looked comfortable in possession apart from Marriott when he’s heading towards goal. We hardly ever try to beat an opponent, and on the rare occasion we do we are so inept we either fall over the ball or get so easily dispossessed ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (h)

I can’t remember a worse Reading team to watch.

Marriott’s finishing skills apart we are just horrible.

No effort to play anything that resembles football.

Re: Weekend Football

Football is weird sometimes. Eberechi Eze would likely be going to the World Cup if he'd stayed at Palace. Was in great form, a key player. Joins Arsenal, scores a derby hat-trick, and then...nothing. First league start in two months last night and he was hooked at half time. Every time he has got ...

She was on talksport yesterday discussing the points she raised.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wigan Athletic (a)

You should have seen the BBC bug. Someone will relate what happened, for all matches. It was impossible to find our score,, and we were playing 55 mins of added time at the end of the first half. When I checked in on the PL scores I was expecting to read about a catalogue of concussions, ACLs and b...

Spurs do have a lot of injuries but they look pretty gutless right now.

Re: ArsenaLOL

I was wondering the other day about whether they could introduce a rule where goalkeepers could handle the ball in both boxes, not just their own. oppo keeper obv couldn't throw it directly into the goal though. Corner would come in and you'd have both keeper in there trying to catch it. Visions of...

Re: ArsenaLOL

windermereROYAL Actually I`d like to see a new rule introduced for corner kicks where no player is allowed inside the 6 yard box until the corner is taken, the goalkeepers are in a no win situation, they have nowhere to go.
Not sure it`ll happen but it should.


Agreed.

But still have 46 goals, 2nd behind city on 49 who`s highest scorer has 20. They have a lot of goals but watching goals from corners is not that alluring to make you want to watch them.
