You know too well it's gonna be worse. We have an increase in 19:45 games which isn't needed at all. Disruption will continue to increase until something and someone makes a stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But such things, such as anti-Sky banners have been seen at a handful of matches and complaints by some clubs to the FA about such reschedules - but it appears to have backfired and ignored, unfortunately. Think the best way is something like online campaign petitions? If a big amount of people vote against Sky etc changing gsne days/times is reached to a certrain number, the campaign would be apprived to be debated at parliament etc..

But usually when people try to "make a stand", they just get ignored/laughed at or whatever. It won't stop until our schedule is like Spain, games back to back with no one playing simultaneously and every game on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is football at the highest levels is becoming a game for tourists rather than for supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sylofox Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 This man c Mahrez argument is a little silly. Did he play enough games to deserve the medals? So what man c player played every prem game. Every FA and League Cup match. Also every game to the CL semi? I'm not ever going to look because other than the keeper no outfield player will have. Be very surprised if even the keeper did.

Papasmurf Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 No attacking players allowed in the wall to avoid disturbances.The drop ball is no longer competitive. It'll be a non contact sport in a couple of years. Interesting to see if the officials will police the one foot on the line at a penalty as they certainly don't care if the keeper is 2 yards off the line at the moment.

The biggest joke is the penalties. Keeper has to keep one foot on the line OK. The keeper can not touch both posts while waiting as not fair play OK. But nothing about a stuttered run up by the taker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit unclear, but I think the article's subheading for that is factually wrong. The unnecessary drop balls that currently happen (i.e. ball gets punted back to the keeper) are being removed from the game. As I read it, that doesn't mean that competitive drop-balls are being removed as well - they can still happen, it's just rare that one gets given nowadays.

Turn a blind eye to Encroachment as well. Almost every penalty sees players running into the box before the ball is kicked. One rule that I would like to see derived from other sports though is the "penalty goal". If a shot is on target and the defender stops it with his hand, it should be given a straight goal. Promotes fair play as the penalty could always be saved/missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
