Raithie Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Wait, did I just read we come across as having some sort of superiority complex/given right to get decisions going our way because our fans scream for said decisions? Don't all teams fans scream for decisions that'll go in their favour, dubious or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Football may occasionally involve collisions, but if you played a perfect game of football, no two players would touch. Ballroom dancing is a contact sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Football may occasionally involve collisions, but if you played a perfect game of football, no two players would touch. Ballroom dancing is a contact sport. Depends on your perfect game of football. Hard tackles were a fairly enjoyable part of games. These tackles are not as common as they used to be, which is possibly to the benefit of players, but is to the detriment of the spectacle. Tackling, shoulder challenges, grabbing shirts, jostling in the box at corners and free-kicks all constitute 'contact'. Football is still a contact sport. Is ballroom dancing even a sport? I'd have that filed under hobbies or pastimes. ...oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not sure about either of the penalty appeals to be honest. I think the one on the edge of the box, it's a foul for a tug on the arm- but wasn't convinced it was in the box at the time and that's still the case. The swan dive didn't help his cause. The Meggatt one I suppose if the referee is watching the incident for the entire duration then it's a possibility, but while play is raging on that's not really feasible at all. Jostling goes on inside the box all the time off the ball and Greig still goes down easy. I think the boy doing alloa commentary sums it up correctly- Meggatt rode his luck a bit.

It's officially a semi-contact sport. You're not supposed to touch but it's unavoidable at times. Saying "It's a contact sport!" is reserved for absolute goobers with no knowledge of what they speak.

Scary Bear Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I like the fact that Jim Goodwin is the face of this thread, as we debate whether football is a contact sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 What about a shoulder charge I would say that involved contact and it is a legal challenge under the rules. Also, what about the time forwards were allowed to barge goalkeepers over the goal line and were awarded a goal for their endeavor. Football always has been and always will be a contact sport.

It isn't.From memory, the laws don't mention a shoulder charge, but 'charging an opponent' either carelessly, recklessly or with excessive force is a foul.
