Today lads, we'll be playing a high pressing game.

There must be so many possibilities for failure here? And debate!

I love that the AR is higher up the pitch than the referee !!

 

[Kieran W]

And the opposition are just lining up as normal

Interesting because I thought there was only 9 lined up across the halfway line. If so, the AR's position is incorrect.
Assuming he's correct, there must be 10 lined up.

In my younger days, I was playing up front against a team who tried to do this. They were losing by quite a lot and thought they would go for it.

I managed to tackle the man receiving the ball, kicked it through for myself and scored.

Was a funny goal to score.

Awful refereeing, he's clearly stood in an offside position!

Madness.

Very disappointed to see that four of them actually went immediately back to defence

Good question. I don't know at what stage of the match this restart occurred but Sampdoria (red) lost 3-0 to Lazio (light blue).

There are 3 players in centre circle taking the kick off !

It was the first kick off

and ..................

Opposing team must be 10 yds from the restart of play (one of whom is obviously not)- nothing written about the restarting team.

I think he just said that to the one who couldn't find the 10th player...
