Ban him for 3 games and let ManCity progress. Come on F.A., for the love of all that is true and fair in English football, you must do this.

Ashtonwurzel Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Can't see any other reason why Walker would lift his foot and let the ball travel through into the final 3rd like he did. And what on earth was Stones doing ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43121847 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ha I used to do something similar at 5 a side. I’d shout ‘yeah, over here!’ when their keeper was looking for someone to roll it out to. Hardly ever worked but every now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miah Dennehy Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 A high profile player did this in the 70s. I can't for the life of me remember who it was, but there was a bit of a fuss at the time even though the ref heard him and he didn't get away with it.

Redbo Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 A friend of mine was playing this Sunday, the opposition was clean through on goal, the defender decided the best thing to do was to scream quite loudly. Ref gave a penalty. I employ a similar tactic at 5-a-side by channeling my inner John Fashanu and yell ‘awooga’ as people are shooting. It either works well or our 5-a-side team can’t shoot.

In American sports it is often seen as fine to attempt to put off an opponent in this way. Yelling "drop it" as some attempts to make a catch in baseball for instance. Whilst coaching in High Schools over there I actually had to instruct my players not to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grigg was yards away from Walker lifting his foot over the ball. Walker did it just to put the Wigan player off closest to him (who may of been offside anyway but showed no interest in going for the ball). Walker simply lacked concentration & allowed the ball to get away from him too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defender he did it to was quite young and inexperienced, I think that was the reason for the fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Really well taken goal by Grigg. He still had a lot to do once he got the ball but he showed great composure. Not sure what Walker was doing, though - not just when he let the ball through but also when chasing back. I thought he would have had the pace to catch up with Grigg, but he seemed to try to catch up with him by veering outside so wasn’t goalside when Grigg took the shot. The other covering defender was slow in getting back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Miah, I remember Bobby Charlton getting booked for this. I'll add, I think, just in case I'm wrong. I'll check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Charlton was booked in a game at Old Trafford against Newcastle United in the early Seventies. His offence was to disagree with the referee about the distance of a Newcastle defensive line from the ball as he was about to take a free-kick. The referee booked Charlton before moving the line back to the 10 yards required by the rules of the game. Indeed, Charlton was booked for asking the referee to ensure that other players played to the rules. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar tactic in our 7-a-side, when I play in goal. As the opponent is winding up for a shot, I shout 'Make a name for yourself' or 'Be the hero!'. Surprising how often it works!
