Rules question and I didn't know where to put it…

I was watching Ipswich and Wolves and just now this happened.

Back-pass to Ipswich goalie who whiffed with his foot. He turned around and dove back to save the goal knocking it away with his hand.

Wolves got a free kick inside the 6 yard box instead of a penalty. Why is that not treated like every other handball inside the box resulting in a penalty? I'm not a soccer lifer, so that one is new on me.


Short version? The guys who wear the oven mits are gifted with special powers.

Long version? Inside the penalty area a GK cannot commit handling or dogso handling. Any illegal touch (back pass or a direct throw) is by law an indirect kick.

In addition to the above, my guess is that the rule was established that way because, at one point (in the 80s), it was not against the rules for a goalie to handle an intentional back pass. Rather than go from that to a penalty kick, they went to the indirect kick...and just never moved from that.

If this Manchester derby gets anymore exciting, a funeral might break out. Talk about a listless snooze fest.

Huh these odds in this Talksport article say 2/1 odds Wrexham. (And if it's on Talksport it must be true they are very reliable, them and The Sun).

Well it helped not having your GK sent off for DOGSO.

English referees are so so so bad.

Relax! It's not like he used his hands outside the penalty area to stop a shot bound towards goal.

As a Brentford supporter, what a gut punch. Will still be there tomorrow to see them kick Fulham's arse!

Objectively you are absolutely correct. But subjectively I'm inclined to look the other way for um, various reasons.

Quote:
"The biggest achievement we can have, the biggest success we can have is not winning the trophy," Glasner began. "It's that we could give thousands of our supporters a moment for their lives. We can give them great times. Maybe they have problems at home, we give them hours and days they can forget all of this, and just be happy.

"This is the biggest achievement sportsmen can do. We did it for many, many people."

This, to repeat a phrase commonly used on the day, is what it's all about. It is not, if you wanted to extend that further, for state-owned clubs or investment funds to just accumulate trophies and parade them for political or financial capital.

And that is why there is an importance to this win beyond the euphoria that Palace enjoyed.

If it was anyone but City, I might care. But they've cheated their way into so many trophies over the past decade I really don't give a sheit. F--k 'em, little bit of karma for the rest of us.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

If Napoli lose and Inter draw their final matches respectively, then there will be a 1 match title decider.

Spurs are always going to be Spursy.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

PL should block this move. Going to ruin the entertainment value of the league.

The goal is to finish 3-6th in the league and not ever actually win anything.

So ridiculous. Fire someone who just won you your first trophy in forever to go after a coach who finished 9th or 10th?

Imagine being an Aggie and a Spurs fan. Awful.

Spurs was one spot away from being relegated. Winning a trophy versus Manchester United ain't gonna make that turd smell any better.
