Just few minutes ago some random dude from Boro did a Xhaka while being already on a yellow. Guess what? No card shown at all.
All right, now the red makes sense. I'm pretty happy with that rule, as we've been at the receiving end of those fouls ourselves. And I'm glad that the red which makes the rule widely known didn't cost us.They just cleared up the red on TV. This is a NEW RULE this season. Ox said on TV he was totally unaware of it.
If you foul someone with no intention of getting the ball (aka tactical foul/dark arts etc...) its a red.
He didn't dive in like Xhaka.Just few minutes ago some random dude from Boro did a Xhaka while being already on a yellow. Guess what? No card shown at all.
Yeah, he threw him to the ground but I was referring to using excessive force and lack of intention of getting the ball which was quoted above as a reason for Xhaka's red.He didn't dive in like Xhaka.
Except fat's a lot more difficult to breakdown.Isn't a calorie a calorie? The problem being that fat has 9x the calorie density of carbohydrates which is why they're so bad when it comes to weight gain?
I love biology but didn't want to pursue it at university. I planned to be a doctor for a while then realised it wasn't for me.
Going by @freeglennhelder2 s post if someone pulls a shirt it's a red card as there is no intention of getting the ball. I find that too strange to be true. Games would be abandoned week in week out. Shirt pulling in the box, red card, a trip red card, there are endless amounts of fouls committed in a game where there is no intention of getting the ball.
Im sure Ox said that they were told of the rule change at the beginning of the season.Chris Kamara said it this morning on "Goals On Sunday" on SKY. OX was a guest and looked completely bemused and said he hadn't been briefed on any such rule. I've done a quick google and cant see anything on it at all.
I thought that only applied in the box:Going by @freeglennhelder2 s post if someone pulls a shirt it's a red card as there is no intention of getting the ball. I find that too strange to be true.

Highbury and Islington is an overground station. I think he was referring to Arsenal and Holloway Road.? Arsenal + Finsbury Park + Highbury & Islington = 3
Yeah exactly.Calorie is a unit for energy. I'm done now before I get banned!
So, I guess no one ever taught you not to use the word your defining in the definition. - Slevin Kevara in Lucky number slevin!
They got rid of the double jeopardy ruling this season. So if you're last man and foul in the box it's a yellow* and a penalty. If it's outside the box it's a straight red and freekick.I thought that only applied in the box:

I think in about 2006 there was a big controversy at the start of the season on MOTD and football phone-ins etc. about a new interpretation of the offside rule introduced by the FA that meant the linesman was to only call offside if he could "see air" between the attacker and last defender.
A highlight for me was when Mick McCarthy offered the oddly sage contribution to the debate when he asked "How can you see air"?
Eventually, after a couple of weeks of the "see-air-athon" some journalist lifted the phone to the FA to ask them for a quote and was told there had been no such see-air rule change, or reinterpretation of offside.
Literally the football experts had spent a month debating a figment of their collective imaginations.
I think they tipped Arsenal to finish sixth that season too.
We seem a bit lop-sided on our passing network.xGplot & Pass map.
Exactly, we've received the benefits of the rule changes when we got the penalty for Giroud's shirt being tug. Why bemoan a rule change which goes against us for a change, especially since it didn't really cost us.Rules are rules. I for one appreciate victory this way. I don't want any opposition fans having anything to say about luck when it comes to our triumphs. Hope to see more discipline from Granit. Not his best game for us. Still enjoy him.
