Philly Fox Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 What happens if it's raining ? Don't think I've seen it used in the wet? If it's petrol-based they can just set it alight ;-)
Captain... Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 What happens if it's raining ? Don't think I've seen it used in the wet? There were no problems with it in this match: It's been used successfully in Brazil for a few seasons now and they have a lot more extreme weather than we do, so any issues would have been discovered, except maybe in snow.
StanSP Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 What happens if it's raining ? Don't think I've seen it used in the wet? They have. Especially in Recife where it was raining a hell of a lot.

Heard Lawro (?) say that there's orange spray for that? Then the other commentator said 'you're joking right?'. Lawro then said 'nah I'm being serious!'.

Ah but this is England and we don't get the 'right' rain, sun or snow. We go into meltdown whenever we experience 'unusual' weather despite other countries dealing with it.
TrentFox Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 Yes, absolutely. I don't even know how one could argue against it. Give it five minutes on here and someone will spend three days telling you how you could argue against it
lcfcsnow Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 Whilst it has it's benefits I do feel it slows the play down a lot, sometimes a free kick can take upto 2 minutes to eventually take, disrupts the play too much. I don't think we need a line for the ball, just where the players stand and only where a free kick is in a shooting position.
sylofox Posted 6 July 2014 Author Posted 6 July 2014 Ok own up who fvcked up the 100% and why? lol Mods could you please ban him and remove his vote lol

I don't think we need a line for the ball, just where the players stand and only where a free kick is in a shooting position. It doesn't slow it down a lot at all. Referee walks to 10 yards from the ball. Gets the spray on. Every player and official on the pitch now knows where everyone can and can't stand beyond. As for needing it for the ball. It IS needed because it stops the player moving the ball forward a few yards . And referees have only used it in the final third of pitches from what I can remember. Don't think a referee is that stupid to do it near the halfway line .

Can't say I have seen it used outside the last third which tend to be the only time you build a wall. And why not for the ball if Rooney threw the ball on 3yds next season and scored would you not be pissed I fvcking well would. You can't take a penalty from 9yds so why be allowed forward on the free kick.
sylofox Posted 6 July 2014 Author Posted 6 July 2014 Suprised really our refs are not pushing for it as it makes there job easy. No fights or back chat the line is drawn for all to see. Step over that line you get a card no if's or but's and managers can't moan after.
Stadt Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 Remember Whittingham's free kick in the 1st leg of the play offs? The spray would have meant he'd probably have missed.
Jace Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 Might get out of hand at Sunday League I can imagine several people attempting to write and draw all sorts of obscenities on the pitch with these cans
sylofox Posted 6 July 2014 Author Posted 6 July 2014 Might get out of hand at Sunday League I can imagine several people attempting to write and draw all sorts of obscenities on the pitch with these cans There just always has to be one. On the point of snow would not be hard to put colour in it. Was going to say when the fvck do we play in snow anyway. Then Ipswich sprung to mind. Then I had the thought had we been using it the the subs could have ran round to keep warm. Spraying orange foam so everyone knew where the lines were. Would have saved stopping the game to clear the lines. So yet one more reason to use it lol
Father Ted Posted 6 July 2014 Posted 6 July 2014 Remember Whittingham's free kick in the 1st leg of the play offs? The spray would have meant he'd probably have missed. Yes! Was going to write this, if the spray was around before, we'd have been in a play off final that year and who knows where we'd be now! Fvcking Whittingham
Captain... Posted 7 July 2014 Posted 7 July 2014 Find the argument it takes more time to be bizarre, I would say it has made it noticeably quicker, none of this messing about moving the ball, the wall creeping forwards, the striker arguing with the ref over the wall, the ref pushing them back. Significant improvement in my opinion, and pretty much everyone else's, ridiculous that it isn't being adopted by all leagues, and that it took a world cup for us to even have this debate.

Our refs will need 6 months training before they can use them. They still can't get hand ball right. You can just see it in a training session "No it is not a sex aid to shove up the linesmans arse at HT. Or for shaving or squirting on your gateaux" And thats after 5 1/2 months training lol
Guest Col city fan Posted 7 July 2014 Posted 7 July 2014 My older dogs looked puzzled and my puppy ate some of it. So not sure.

SeattleShane Posted 8 July 2014 Posted 8 July 2014 Been around for a few years in the MLS and it rains a lot in Seattle.
Number 6 Posted 9 July 2014 Posted 9 July 2014 When I heard that this was happening I thought it sounded stupid but after seeing it in action I think it's fantastic. Only thing that bugs me is the lazy semi circle for the ball placement: Surely the advantage is in moving the ball backwards a bit, not forwards?
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 9 July 2014 Posted 9 July 2014 Our refs will need 6 months training before they can use them. They still can't get hand ball right. New idea: put vandal paint on player's arms. Ball will be marked after a hand ball, so it will always be called correctly
Fox Ulike Posted 9 July 2014 Posted 9 July 2014 Yes, absolutely. I don't even know how one could argue against it. Woooahhh. Hold your horses. For me, it's just messy with all that jizz on the pitch and I worry about the referees backs with them constantly bending down to spray it out. Plus it just means that players start encroaching from the sides. Plus it's inaccurate since the referee always draws a straight-line when what he should be spraying out is of course a curve. I'm in favour of a microchip in the ball which beams a 10 yard laser beam of red light in a 360 degree arc around the ball.
