The oafc0000 'Is this the right room for an argument?' Thread


Recommended Posts

This is you're problem oafc0000. Every user on here has opinions but you come across that whatever you say is a fact and is not up for discussion. I can not remember a thread on here when you have gone back on your initial thoughts, you are always right!

 

You might have a stronger hand to play with this comment if you had a thread where I was wrong ? which I didn't say, ok fair enough... You might struggle to find one where I was wrong...

 

I can't help it if I am almost always right...

Just to try to clear up a point on the feet leaving the ground:

 

 

A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

• kicks or attempts to kick an opponent

• trips or attempts to trip an opponent

• jumps at an opponent

• charges an opponent

• strikes or attempts to strike an opponent

• pushes an opponent

• tackles an opponent

 

One could argue that the feet leaving the ground is included in the offence of jumping at an opponent, so a free kick may be the correct decision. However...

 

 

A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the following seven offences:

• serious foul play

• violent conduct

• spitting at an opponent or any other person

• denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty area)

• denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick

• using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures

• receiving a second caution in the same match

 

There is no mention of feet coming off the ground in the red card offences.

 

It's up for debate whether you include Brown's challenge in the 'serious foul play' category, but this feet leaving the ground thing is the same as pundits telling us repeatedly that the laws state a player can't raise his arms, without bothering to actually refer to the laws to check.

 

All fans, pundits and even managers could do worse than sparing a few minutes to actually take a few minutes to flick through the laws of the game they purport to know so much about. There are only seventeen.
