Had the ref blown his whistle before Elding rushed into Greer, I doubt it.

Blew to indicated the free kick could be taken....

strong and stable with me, or...
Whistle indicates the official is ready for you to take the free kick, the ball is not in play until the ball is struck.

No, it means the ball is back in play. Players must still follow free kick rules but the ball is essentially NOT dead when the whistle blows, so any infringements after whistle should be free kick where incident took place.

is this definatly the case......if so why then do players get booked for encroaching on a free kick after the whistle has gone....once the whistle goes this should be allowed then. Or is this just Steve Claridge's anti Brighton view on Football league show.
FIFA 2010/11
Law 13 - Free kicks
Free Kick Outside the Penalty Area
- all opponents are at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the ball until it is in play
- the ball is in play when it is kicked and moves
- the free kick is taken from the place where the infringement occurred
The whistle has f*** all to do with it.
Hope that clears it up.

Absolutely.
Never a penalty,and the ref should be struck off.
But it's gone now,and will forever be 2--2 in the record book.
And is Greer the new Hawk?

So does this mean Claridge's 'game is active' thing doesnt exist after he tried to embarrass Gus on the FL show?

No that's a load of shit. If the game is in action before a ball is kicked, someone on the other team for a free kick can just take the ball!

It appears so......he is a
Dan this is a Brighton legend you're talking about
Seriously though, that prick probably had money on the draw and is quite happy with the result
Not in action, but active.
Whistle blows: Game active. Ball kicked: game in play.
Thats what he was saying; whether it really exists Im not sure but theres a subtle difference between the game being active and the ball being in play.

isnt this down to the ref? Sometimes they allow quick free kicks other times they stop play and you have to wait for the whistle as was the case yesterday.

He blew the whistle because of the Greer incident, not to start play again.
Ball was dead. No pen.

Never mind all this " game was active" bollocks, the ball was not in play[/ when the infringement occurred, therefore NO penalty

Did he deck him - I didn't see it? As they say in cricket - just look in the scorebook!
