Briefcase Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Not sure if anyone is watching the first Match Of The Day (Premier League) but watching Hanson & Lineker talk about the pass back rule changing and how teams will need to adapt feels so strange. Lineker in particular predicting keepers kicking the ball into the stands will happen more and defenders maybe one day being comfortable. Flash forward to today and you have the likes of Peps teams playing from the back and sweeper keepers. Also I miss Barry Davis on commentary.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thought Wolves looked the business tonight. Going away in the Championship and playing what is almost 3-2-5 should suicide but they had the class to do it. Nuno has got them set up great. Neves is as good as you'll ever see in this division. We're decent but those Allam cunts have fucked about again all summer and we just don't have the squad to compliment the 7 or 8 really good players we've got. Depth of Wolves squad way better than ours. And Abel Hernandez looked badly injured. Fucking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this last night and it was a nice piece of nostalgia. How Giggs never got a penalty was mind-blowing and how Eric Cantona did not get sent off for that basement drop-kick I do not know. Some pretty shocking ties by the pundits as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motson mentioning the backpass rule a hundred times, only 3 subs(!!!), and the youthfulness of Lineker. Also, anyone that's watched this or knows, how come a free kick was given in the area for a high foot and not a penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard Motson mention that half time had only just been extended from 10 to 15 minutes that year as well. A high foot comes under Rule 12.2 (playing a dangerous manner) which results in an indirect free kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 But a high foot inside the box would be a penalty these days right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dude Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Nowadays it'd probably go down as a reckless, careless or excessive challenge, yeah, but it's all down to interpretation really. I'm not sure how much the wording of the rules has changed in the past 25 years, just the guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted August 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 When was the last time an indirect free kick was given in a notable match? Feel like I haven't seen one in years, which is no bad thing, as they're shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're given in every match with players caught offside (so basically all of them), but if you mean indirect free kicks given for any other reason, then nothing springs to mind for me either.

Mr_Danger Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Jonny Evans is alright. Play about 10 games for them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
