Scott7 6,002 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 And another thing while I'm ranting. Defenders shouldn't be allowed to shepherd the ball over the byeline for a goal kick with their arms stretched out. Under the rules as they used to be, an attacking player was entitled to charge through an opponent facing his own goal. Saw Billy Simson do it. And Waddell. And Kichenbrand. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't care how the tims get beat but from a general point of view arm flapping and jersey pulling is comparatively new - last ten/fifteen years. And, yes, football is a contact sport but there was never a harder man than Harry Davis and you never saw him dancing about like a prima ballerina. A player can use his strength to get to the ball ahead of his opponent but standing in front of your man with your back to the flight of the ball is obstruction. It's a man's game, not a jessies' one. Having said all that it couldn't have happened to a better man than Hooper. If you had stood in front of the goalie like Hooper does back then, you would've ended up in the back of the net with the goalie laughing at you. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
