Changes to the Current Football Rules

[maltaseagull]

Watching Man U V PNE.
Di Maria got tackled and both commentators said good challenge. If there was any contact it was his ankle but he rolled over and over clutching his knee.

Cheat = 5 match ban. That would stop this crepe!

Same games as above.

Rooney clearly offside but see as not interfiering because he didnt touch it. Complete tosh.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

I have to be honest and say that I'm not fully au fait with the interfering with play aspect of offside. Is the rule that you are only interfering if you touch it? If that's the case, surely you'd see attackers running across the line of the keepers view all the time to gain an advantage. Rooney was definitely involved in play.

Nobody as yet come up with the answer of when the offside rule was changed from a defender touching the ball automatically played an attacker onside

At the game against Leeds a chap came up to me with a print out showing that the rule whereby a player was played onside if an opponent touched the ball last was changed in 1978.

I remember it was called 'being played on'. Bring it back I say - it would stop teams farting around at the back and passing it back to the GK all the time.

Nobody seemed to have heard or remembered it but I was fairly sure.

If anybody is interested it can be read on The History of Offside by Julian Carosi on www.corshamref.org.uk

Never mind! I clearly remember it in the sixties (the played on rule, not the website!)

That being the case how did Paul manage to download and print it last week. It is too obscure a subject for him to have done it previously and saved it, just in case.

Simulation in the penalty box, automatic pen at the other end. Diving would stop!

 

[BensGrandad]

That would cause too many arguments as there are many now was he tripped or did he dive. Thd clever ones are those like Callum Wilson of AFCB who trips himself to win penalties.

 

[rudolf hucker]

I find the time wasting a real pain so.

Don't stop the game for substitutions. Let the 3rd official organise it while the game goes on

40 minute halfs but the clock stops when the ball is out of play

No idea. I just clicked on the link.
