Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted June 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2017 If they're that concerned about time wasting they could, maybe, let the referees actually enforce the rule before the 85th minute? 30 minute halfs is a stupid idea, and would have cost us one of the most effortlessly gangsta moments in football history.

I'm obviously against all the proposed changes, but luckily this time I think all right-minded football fans would agree with that. This new VAR system at the Confederations Cup has given us two phantom offsides so far. I hope it's never brought into club football, but fear it's only a matter of time.

Van Dammer Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The 30 minute idea feels like a reaction to VAR in that it will make it seem less of a farce that the game has been stopped for so long to look at the video if the clock is stopped. Id be amazed if VAR makes it to club level though, seeing as its pretty much bombed in its pilot phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted June 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2017 Talk of 'no rebounds' has me wondering why no one has moved to implement another popular football rule we often had to abide by as kids. No POWER BLASTERS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the "take a free kick to yourself", "take a free kick from a rolling ball" and "goal kick doesn't have to leave the penalty area". I think they're attempts to speed the game up and I'd like to see that. The team fouled is penalised so often trying to take quick free kicks. I like the idea that you can just get up and take it to yourself and carry on. Not sure what the rest are trying to acheive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members John Matrix Posted June 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2017 Far more like it!, to a degree I was fortunate growing up on a council estate in the 80's, burnt out garages with no door were in plentiful supply - post/crossbar ambiguity was a rare beast in those parts.

westlondonmist Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Celtic have drawn either Linfield or SP La Fiorita (San Marino) in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League. A decent draw I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted June 19, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2017 If it's Linfield, the scheduling looks like it would have Linfield play Celtic, in Belfast, on July 12th (the biggest day in the marching calendar, massive Orangeman march every year, as I understand it). I gather it's normally a pretty tense day as it is, so I assume if that happens Uefa will have the sense to reschedule the tie, as that is a proper powerkeg situation if that game happens that day.

YES!!! One of the ones on the estate led to the underground car park, so the barrier had this little smaller bar dangling it off with chains, that meant it doubled as a basketball net of sorts as we tried to put our mini Chicago Bulls ball through the middle of the two. Otherwise it was goals and wickets painted on walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
