LIVIFOREVER Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Dunno what Miller was gibbering on about Nouble buying us fouls, naw Kenny, he was just getting fouled all the time, that's why they kept getting cards for fouling him. Holt buys fouls, getting his body in to be bumped over, Pittman did it yesterday too, Marvin Bartley was an expert at it, but Nouble, he tries to take the ball and go, then gets fouled, there's nae buying them involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Graham’s Lovely Hair Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Just got round to watching Saturday’s show. Who’s the commentator on the Hibs game? He pronounces Cabraja as if he’s Spanish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I was watching this last night, I noticed Jordan White retrieving the ball from the back of the Hearts goal. This often results in a confrontation. Surely the attacker should always be punished as it is the defending team who should have possession of the ball. Has there ever been any analysis suggesting that an attacker running back with the ball speeds the game up? (There was no real confrontation in this incident it just reminded me of a pet hate). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see any issue with it, stops any inevitable time wasting from the defending team if you're chasing a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapping in the back of the net then the referee breaking things up then speaking to the offenders then booking probably two of them seldom speeds things up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plukey Gordon has history of trying to grab the ball then falling to the ground if a player tries to get the ball. Hes done it his whole career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about when Dean Shiels decided to rugby tackle him to get the ball which was still in the net? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always think this is a daft thing to do. Fair enough if the ball bounces out of the goal, pick it up and run it back to the centre circle if you want. But by engaging with the opposition you just open the door to them manufacturing a wee scuffle to waste time and there's always the chance of getting a card. The ref's going to restart the game anyway. It almost certainly makes absolutely no fucking difference anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the actions of the defenders that is causing the game to be delayed here though. I agree with the above poster that it is probably not particularly useful to fetch the ball out of the net, but I don't think you can reasonably punish a player for retrieving the ball from the net and trying to take it towards the centre circle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 A lot of it is performative anyway, isn’t it? If you’re 2-0 down and score fans and manager don’t want you running off celebrating, there’s an optic that comes with grabbing the ball and heading for the centre circle. Im not sure time saving is the primary motivation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely performative for both parties and its yet another thing that bugs me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Liam McLeod said in the first half that if it hits the referee it's a drop ball.

Good to know that you don't actually need to keep up to date with the laws to get a job with the BBC. What was the purpose of the rule change anyway? It used to be deemed that referee was part of the game, if the ball accidentally hit him you just had to suck it up and play on, it would be one of these things that all teams benefitted/suffered due to at some point. Seemed fair enough to me even if a bit infuriating when your team on the wrong side of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I felt like that was implied. The old rule was no drop balls at all when it hit the ref, so the only change has been to implement uncontested ones in several situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
