What can this possibly be about? Sure. In youth games players are always tripping and falling on top of one another. Players on the ground still keep swinging their legs and creating dangerous situations, for that age group, so, at that level, it is almost immediate to whistle and call an indirect free kick against the player on the ground, on safety concerns. From the clueless side lines this creates the impression that the player was penalized for playing "on the ground" and it perpetuates up the youth soccer age groups. It's quite funny how it is very prevalent all over the San Francisco Bay Area. >> "But I got the ball first" the one in adult games. > This one needs no explanation. Tell that to all the adult amateur players around here, and we're talking people from all over the world... >> "They have to ask for 10 yards first", when I brought the YC out. > Who "has to ask" - the other team? Yes, the defense is convinced that they can stand 1 yard from the ball until the other team asks for 10. -- HASM

Another pet peeve of mine: the creeping wall: - Ref sets the wall at 10 yards, often having to use utmost persuasion to do so. - As soon as the ref walks off, the wall starts creeping back forward. Very few refs have the stones to halt the taking of the free kick and do what they have to do: caution the outermost player in the wall. Mart -- "We will need a longer wall when the revolution comes." --- AJS, quoting an uncertain source.

Then it becomes real easy. In Brazil it has been used for years. It is very effective. Abra�o, Luiz Mello

Actually that was one of the things we were supposed to "enforce" a few years back, but then the guys in the EPL don't do it, and when we do it in the local fields it only causes problems. I'd like to see a rule similar to rugby (I'll email Brian H one of these days). When the wall encroaches, instead of or in addition of cautioning people, the wall would move back 5 yards per infraction. With a second kick with the wall at 15 then 20, things would stop rather quickly. -- HASM |
