    Really disappointed in the players' lack of belief alongside a lack of adaptability from the coaching staff last night. Means other teams feel they can have a go and we struggle to react.

     

    We've been poor as a group in 2020 but our inability to react to other teams' tactics & our own missing/off-form players means we've looked impotent for most of our fixtures this year. If we don't address this major fault it's going to cost us more points. Lots of work ahead!

    The coaching staff seem confident that their version of the 443 is the only way   but it would be nice to see us playing two out and out strikers with say our best att6hzlf back behind them

    Why do our youngsters always look so physically under-developed?

     

    Some of these young English lads that I see coming through are built like a Brick Shithouse.

     

    It's no reflection of talent or technique, but it is a big part of the game; and perhaps one of the things that keeps them from making the step up to the first team earlier. 

    Aye it looks like our lads could do with a good feed of stew and doughballs

    Somebody took the trouble to forward this to me, so I am taking the trouble to post it here.

    You're welcome.

     

    Updates to Laws of the Game 2019-20

    Handball – Law 12

    Changes

     

    Deliberate handball remains an offence.

    The following ‘handball’ situations, even if accidental, will be a free kick:

     

    The ball goes into the goal after touching an attacking player’s hand/arm.

    A player gains control/possession of the ball after it has touches their hand/arm and then scores, or creates a goal-scoring opportunity.

    The ball touches a player’s hand/arm which has made their body unnaturally bigger.

    The ball touches a player’s hand/arm when it is above their shoulder (unless the player has deliberately played the ball which then touches their hand/arm).

     

    The following will not usually be a free kick, unless they are one of the above situations:

     

    The ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/near.

    The ball touches a player’s hand/arm which is close to their body and has not made their body unnaturally bigger.

    If a player is falling and the ball touches their hand/arm when it is between their body and the ground to support the body (but not extended to make the body bigger)

    If the goalkeeper attempts to ‘clear’ (release into play) a throw-in or deliberate kick from a team-mate but the ‘clearance’ fails, the goalkeeper can then handle the ball

     

    Explanation
    Greater clarity is needed for handball, especially on those occasions when ‘non deliberate’ handball is an offence. The re-wording follows a number of principles:

    Football does not accept a goal being scored by a hand/arm (even if accidental).

    Football expects a player to be penalised for handball if they gain possession/control of the ball from their hand/arm and gain a major advantage e.g. score or create a goal-scoring opportunity.

    It is natural for a player to put their arm between their body and the ground for support when falling.

    Having the hand/arm above shoulder height is rarely a ‘natural’ position and a player is ‘taking a risk’ by having the hand/arm in that position, including when sliding.

    If the ball comes off the player’s body, or off another player (of either team) who is close by, onto the hands/arms it is often impossible to avoid contact with the ball.

    When the goalkeeper clearly kicks or tries to kick the ball into play, this shows no intention to handle the ball so, if the ‘clearance’ attempt is unsuccessful, the goalkeeper can then handle the ball without committing an offence.

     

    Ergo: The ref dun good. 

     

    All great teams did one thing they kept it simple so why not refereeing if the ball hits a hand penalty if hand hits bal penalty no excuses I was protecting my face , my balls or reaching out to God no excuses keep it simple

    I thought Gribz might have been on to give us a steer on what to avoid but with a truncated programme there are fewer chances to be wrong.
