HAL 13/14 Rd 26 - Other Fixtures

[westjet]

Wonder if this game will finally convince the FFA to do something about the constant abuse the referees have been getting recently. Dont care how bad they perform or if they make the wrong call the constant surrounding of referees by screaming players is a disgrace and a bad look and getting worse every week.

[Premy]

IF big if, if we beat Tards and Smurfs win the last round will be very interesting and only add weight everyone playing at the same time in the last round.

[Jeterpool]

Slaterism "just gives it some violence". FMD.

Also re: the ref I'd love them to call a freaking foul throw from time to time.

[Jeterpool]

Gombau and his celebrations are massive lulz

[WolfMan]

Love Gombau and his passion. Brilliant scenes

[lquiquer]

And again our destiny is taking out of our own hands..... Last play of the game ffs... !!!!!

Still in our hands just have to score 14 goals and concede 0

Bullshit that griff got suspended yet you see constant mouthing off and swearing at them every game. Typical anti-griff agenda which is always based in jealousy both by refs and forum posters

[militiamon]

And can he call a penalty after letting play go on? The linesman wasn't flagging him. It didn't seem to be a penalty until after the ball went out, then Behich got up and complained and then Williams decided to go and talk to the linesman.

It would appear to be a good call:

Direct free kick

A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
trips or attempts to trip an opponent
jumps at an opponent
charges an opponent
strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
pushes an opponent
tackles an opponent

A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offences:

holds an opponent
spits at an opponent
handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)

A direct free kick is taken from the place where the offence occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick).

Penalty kick

A penalty kick is awarded if any of the above ten offences is committed by a player inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of the ball, provided it is in play.

So as long as the ball was in play at the time of the incident (which it was yeah?) then it was the right call.

[militiamon]

Also second the call made by la baz about the anti-Griff conspiracy. Disgracefully obvious, and I'm not even kidding.

Finally, Gombau, da bestest.

[parksey]

how much of a **** is behich?

[Jeterpool]

I agree.

Thanks for that

I actually think Ben Williams has handled the hole situation perfectly. What can Elrich expect for a headbutt, then the Adelaide players blow up cause their team mate got a red card he deserved nothing else Ben Williams could have done better IMO

They main thing he Ben Williams could do better is not be Ben Williams. Same kind of thing as the best way bridges could be better.
Around here when an opinion is formed, it certainly sticks!

Out of curiosity what is the ruling if an act of violence occurs in the penalty box say when the ball is out of play??
ie Defender starts punching attacker but the ball has just gone out for a throw in and play hasn't yet restarted as the ball is being retrieved from the crowd when the defender cuts sick with a left right combo???

[MFKS]

Bang On the money.

Hypocritical double standards to send Griff off and then put up with that last night from Williams.

If Middleby had any idea after giving Griff a new contract he should be asking the FFA for a please ****ing explain and calling for retrospective suspensions to the Adelaide players in light of the action taken by the same clown against Griff

Player guilty of Violent conduct would get sent off then play would restart from the throw in.

if its smurfs wsw or gypos a warning would be given, any else free kick against

[MFKS]

if its smurfs wsw or gypos or involving a team playing the Jets a warning would be given, any else free kick against

Fixed for accuracy

[Thomas477]

What Premy said. Same thing as pushing before a corner, as long as the ball's not in play, the ref can't do anything bard hand out cards and warnings.
