RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Another looney tunes idea. We should mount a coup informing these morons that we gave you tha laws of the game so stop messing with them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 If its the same as what Wenger originally proposed to trialed then its not actually as clear cut as the thread title. The idea was to stop time wasting by giving the option of a kick in instead of a throw if taken within 5-10 seconds. It wasn't actually to get rid of throw-ins altogether, just incentivise getting the game moving quicker. If kick is blocked by the opposition it becomes and actual free-kick. I'm not sure its an area that needs to be changed or that I like the idea (would a team trying to time waste actually care?), but throw-ins are kind of the modern equivalent of passing back to the keeper, and that change did improve things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 It’s funny really, all of these rule changes are to stop the players cheating, can’t we get to the root of the cause without changing the rules of the game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Should be under-arm “roll-ins” like my cubs 5-a-side tourney when I was 7. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too sure it did really. Usually when the ball was passed back to the keeper he picked it up and then booted it down field keeping the game moving. Now despite the ball being within playing distance they try to block a player from getting to it from about 30 yards out until its slow rolled over the touchline or goal line. At one time that would have been a clear indirect free kick for obstruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 For long ball teams it would be even easier to launch the ball in the opponents box from pretty much anywhere outside your own third. Is John Fashanu still available for transfer? Please leave football's laws alone. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don`t know, I remember the Liverpool back four passing it around and back to Clemence for what seemed like hours when they were one up particularly in Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was played back to the Keeper who waited until he was challenged - then he picked it up and looked at options and then booted up field. It also saw the rise of the sweeper keeper and whole new tactical styles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNachos Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Seriously frustrating, taking a core rule and element of football out the equation is mad. The throw-in has been a historic part of the game and you only need to look at the liverpool throw-in coach to know it's a complex part of football to those who actually watch the game, as oppose to the 'american soccer fan' who'll tune in to the world cup semi's and tweet about how they should turn it to kick-ins. It's for that extra pay-per-view in America rather than the working class season ticket holder and it's ruining football. What a spineless group of mugs run a game loved by so many.

I'm no hockey fan, but think I'm right in saying that the bully off to start the game and rolling the ball in when it went out of play were equally historic parts of that game. However, both have been confined to history. Those of my age will remember the proper tackle as an equally historic part of the game, but that is now re-classified as a foul and more than often attracts a yellow, and sometimes a red, card!

1960maaan Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 It just feels like those people on committees , feeling like they have to justify their wage by making change for change sake. They could spend their time better by clamping down on keepers spending an age on a goal kick, that will only be lumped down the middle anyway. And if they were so intent in speeding the game up (even more), was allowing the defenders in the area to accept a short goal kick ? How many times have you seen the keeper debating whether to use the short pass, only to decide it's not worth it and start the process of getting ready for a long kick all over again. This kick in was suggested years ago, I'm sure. Should be confined to the bin along with World Cups every 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
