If I apply a bit of Mathematics to that statement .......I work out that the optimum distance is 52 .6 yards away at all times ...I'm pretty spot on during most games :D:D
Agreed.... though the only downside to this will be when a player does get taken out you have to on the scene pretty rapid as the fouled is likely to need a skin graft and will be ready to react .
The surface also really hurts my knees ? as do most surfaces
You have got me very wrong my friend .....I am very open to change and very adaptable to different situations during a game of football .......BUT
If the alternative is blowing for full time when a player is one on one with the keeper :cry: I shall stick to doing it my way
No hard feelings...
No ......you are the man with the watch and you are keeping time ...... every defending team in a close game near the end will be screaming " that's a long 2 mins ref " you hear it every week !! but to blow the whistle when a team is attacking is verging on Criminal in my eyes
its a pretty...
So.......blowing up when a striker is running in on goal isn't making it all about you ???
Also stoppage time is not an exact science !!! if you call" last 5 " and someone is in on goal at 5 01 your gonna blow the final whistle ? don't believe it for a second (see what I done there ) :D
The...
LOTG........LOTG........LOTG.......we cannot constantly hide behind a book and quote facts that are all seemingly open to interpretation !! Understanding of the game of football .....the players , individual situations that arise during games and applying common sense are vitally important...
That's the point I'm making !!! Not prepared to add one second at let the player shoot ........Totally Wrong ......who says your timekeeping was so exact ?
Common sense must kick in at some point
:eek::eek: Cant believe you did that !!!
You are obviously 100% sure that you added on every second a player wasted a bit of time during the game and also every discretionary second when the ball went miles behind the goal and the keeper strolled to get it back ?
Did you start your watch...
Its got nothing to do with looking good @Padfoot its about doing the game justice and showing common sense by ending it in a neutral area .... "The 4th official has indicated there will be a...... MINIMUM.....of 3 minutes stoppage time " that very statement covers the referee to allow a...
The Problem is @CapnBloodbeard all stoppage time as it stands is at the discretion of the referee therefor he surely has to show a bit of it ....when a team is heading for goal as the watch beeps ?
The only way round it is to maybe have an official time keeper ? but then the problem becomes...
If a team is attacking beyond the halfway line , at the end of stoppage time they will get the extra 5 seconds from me to either lose possession, have a shot or whatever happens ?
If anyone asks I will call "last attack" or something to that effect
Otherwise if you are intent on allowing no...
If we flip the coin on this one .....the LAW is broken many times in every game when players put their name on a ball when are 0bviously not going to win the challenge (usually on headers ) and keepers who come running out of goal shouting the very word !!
They are only putting the attacking...
