At the time I wondered why one of the players was climbing over the hoarding. Such a lovely thing to do, seen some photos of Bobby with the young lad too.

You should not fall for that event. It's just another clever way of time wasting and delaying the restart of the match. Players are only allowed to leave the pitch during a match with the permission of the referee. Taking a corner, goal kick or throw in is not leaving the pitch. 1 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more important than football, this absolutely made the kids day. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBB Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I’d read about the abuse this lad had received previously. Loved the celebration and thought it was a brilliant gesture from the club and players. Great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a hell of a lot of pre planning by Fulham to fool everyone and waste a few seconds. It's all about the details you know. Seriously though, I agree with the OP, what a great gesture.

Taking a corner, goal kick or throw in is not leaving the pitch. And they say all the fun and enjoyment's gone out of the game..... And if you must quote the Laws of Football at least take the trouble to get them right. Players leave the field of play for all sorts of reasons without the referee's permission yet are not considered to have committed an offence. Ever seen players asking the ref to leave the pitch at half-time or full-time, or a player writhing in agony with a broken leg on the stretcher asking if he may exit, or any player leaving the park when substituted? Taking a corner, goal kick or throw in IS leaving the pitch, though are considered normal playing motions, as would be running back in from the sideline if forced out, none of which are offences. A player exiting the pitch via the goal line and without permission may no longer physically be on the pitch but is considered to remain ON the pitch at the goal line. Law 12 explicitly states players DO NOT commit an offence for leaving the pitch to celebrate a goal and prescribes those offences that may occur under such circumstance. On Saturday no Fulham player committed an offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong (I hope not!), but, based on @cidered abroad background and posting history, I suspect his post was made somewhat tongue in cheek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mentioned it on the game day thread, as I was surprised how little had been made of it. I would hope we would do a similar thing if it was one of our fans.

If the Fulham team wanted to acknowledge the boy, they could have arranged it to be during their warm up or immediately after the game ended. Not during the game. Clubs and players now use every method of breaking up the rhythm of the game especially when they are leading.

One should also remember that a team is at it's most vulnerable of conceding, immediately after they score. Take a couple of minutes to go to the lad with our players itching to get going again without delay. Followed by a slow walk back to positions and the last one to do that is always a striker who wanders across the centre circle - 20 yards of further delay.

Southport Red Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Agree it was a lovely touch to celebrate with the lad, saw the interview on BBC Breakfast with him, his Mum and Time Ream. The boy couldn't control his emotions and sobbed when Time Ream appeared, it was very moving. Re the celebrations for their goal, I thought Bobby Reid looked rather too happy, certainly a lot happier than Nakhi was a week earlier. Perhaps our fond feelings for him are not reciprocated?

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 There was a lovely interview with young Rhys and his mum on the Radio 4 Today programme. He sounded so happy and proud it made me feel good just listening to it. He also said the bullies will not beat him. How sick must you be to abuse a disabled child online? It beggars belief what must be going on in these lowlives` minds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DId the celebration take significantly longer than Kasey's? I don't really remember thinking the Fulham players celebrated for any longer than usual. Teams very regularly spend 30 secs or so going mental in front of their fans - I think it's nearly always down to being happy they've scored a goal. Think you're seeing supposed gamemenship where there isn't any, to be honest Teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the rest need to accommodate their younger demographic (like the ones giving that kid a load of abuse) who would apparently be reluctant to sign up online with a registered name and address that would come back to them and their parents therefore this type of abuse must be allowed to prosper................... That was the excuse that the middle class white woman representing them gave for allowing online racism to continue unabated anyway. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 My take on it was that I haven't left the Gate with such a buzz after a home game for bloody ages (notwithstanding Covid) and Fulham's goal celebration was just a small part (absolutely massive for the lad himself obviously) of a hugely entertaining afternoon that we have not seen nearly enough of in recent years.
