[Albion] Multi-ball rule changes

[dejavuatbtn]

What happens if that ball gets booted really high into the stands, or out the stadium entirely?

Get into your coracle and paddle out to retrieve it. Games will finish at 6 in the evening.

About time, stops the use of a towel to dry the ball for a long throw, removes all the delaying tactics by the ball boys. Also means that the assaults by the likes of Eden Hazard will no longer happen.

Now all the PL need to do, is work out how to stop teams like Brentford taking 3 minutes before they take along throw. This is achieved by declining the ball that is nearer the player who is take the throw, walking to a cone to collect a different ball, checking that's its dry, then walking back to where the throw is to be taken, waving at players, then finally taking the throw, all without getting a yellow card for time wasting.

He may try to, but the rules don't allow that. That said, if Villa had John Brooks in charge of their match, they'd be allowed to retrieve a ball from behind the opposite goal.

• When the ball goes out of play and is not quickly retrievable, players must go to the nearest cone to collect a replacement ball themselves to restart play

They need to change the location of the cones behind the goal. They are now in-line with the edge of the penalty area, so that enables a goalie to take an age to get a ball - and then walk with it to the other side of the goal area. Just put two more in at each end, the Premier League can afford it.

this makes me a little sad, i love the shithousery from ball boys. a bit of humour and home advantage leaves the game.

This calls for an honourable mention for Keith Cuss!

 

[Anger]

Where's the option to have an adult ball boy fail to return a ball to the opposition near the end of the game and back-head it into the stand when your team is winning?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Are managers still allowed to get involved or do they get carded?

It should be like cricket. Someone brings out a bag of balls, then the referee inspects them and picks out the one most similar to the lost ball.

A sharp nail in Martinez’s glove which can double up for a small head wounder as well.

I don't like it. I like the fact that home teams could force an advantage for themselves by utilising the ball boys. I wouldn't want to level the playing field for home / away teams too much, it's a great part of football.

It used to be, but the likes of Villa and Fulham have ruined it for everyone.

The supporters are short changed by all the time wasting, if the ball gets back in play sooner I’m all for it.

In fact, the next step should be that the ball has to be active within 30 seconds (or less), of going out of play.

As long as it is permissible to kick the little fucker over the ad hoardings into row C.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Doh! I'm a moron

*edit* taking the positives, I might not have read the finer points of the thread - or indeed any points of the thread - but at least it proves I was paying attention on Saturday

An admission of fallibility? Don't do it, mate. Slippery slope. In a few weeks you'll be thanking me for introducing you to some interesting new music. Even though you absolutely hate it Pull yourself together before it's too late

My thoughts (Gay Meadow) were exactly the same when I read that post

Hold the refs head down in a bucket of water before kick for as long as it takes for them to *signify that they understand the rules of the f***ing game and how to f***ing referee. The ****s.

*"blbllnb I'm bklbl f***ing blbblb drowning" is not sufficiently significant.

I think we’ll find out from Enciso shooting soon

Who provides the balls nowadays? Is it still the home team with one ball and a bag of others - with the main ball being sponsored?

And which ball does the hat-trick scorer take home??

 

[Cheshire Cat]

There should be at least two balls in play simultaneously at all times.

That should liven it up a bit.
