The Celine Dion Jukebox/Rough Pub Challenge is a good sport that I just this minute invented.
The bottomline is the WWE doesn't involve sport.Quote:

What on earth does that have to do with the new sport I just invented?Quote:

Yeah, thanks for figuring that out for me.
Yup, mad talk.Quote:

I don't know, if I concentrate maybe I could make a good fist of it
Cool maybe folk will stop calling it a sport then. :ermm:Quote:

I suppose the first could be classified as Hobo Baiting, which last time i checked was a sport :unsure:
I think I just ruptured something from laughing.:lol:Quote:

I have a hard time calling the throw in's just because I try to be fair , and you know what happens some fat mom gets her ass in the way of your sight line .The parents all stand too close to the line getting in my way . I'm huffing and puffing running the line . :)
I look to the ref ,he looks to me ............ fuck it next game one of the other dads can do it .
Edit : Don't tell me to ask the coach to get them to back off , his wife is the one with the big ass .
Just call the throws how you see them, people will always get things wrong, infact if you watch football on TV you'll see that because of all the cameras and stuff they can often prove the linesman is wrong.
For offside it's easy, who is nearest the goal when the ball is played? If it's the defenders then it's onside and legal. If it's the attacker it's offside.

Onside: as the guy is in line with or behind the defenders and they are nearer to the goal.

When the defenders thing there has been an offside they'll put there hands up and look at you, don't call offside just because of that, alot of times strikers time there runs perfectly so they are in line with the defenders.
Yes, it's your job to call offside decisions. It is ultimately up to the referee whether she gives it or not, but in the majority of cases if you call it she will give it.Quote:

Basically always know if you have someone who is potentially off-side (in an off-side position) then when the ball is played forward raise the flag. However if the ball is played towards someone else and your man is a good way away then you need to consider whether they are effecting play, also if they are actively moving back into an on-side position then you must also consider not giving it.
It's really quite simple.
Thanks guys , I think I just needed some moral support , I think I'll work the line on the other side . That way I can coach too , probably better anyway to have the opposition side complaining than my own.
In fairness most of the parents know little of the rules anyway. Our coaches are good they have taught our team to play the offside rule since u7 . Cost us a few games but better to be prepaired I guess .
Just remember, whatever you do is wrong.
If you give off-side, the attacking side know you are wrong. If you don't give it then the defending side know you are wrong.
However that also means you are always right, which is nice.
Ya JP , and the close calls I'll leave alone ,makes for an exciting game . :)
Favour the attack, that's what the pros are supposed to do, but they never do.Quote:

If you give a bad off-side all you do is take a chance away, if you let it run and they score, then you gave away a goal (in the defence's head).
541T happens, just enjoy yourself.
The linesmen (who are just substitutes or spectators) aren't required to rule offsides in our league. I would be surprised if Peat had to officiate in that manner for a game in which his son was playing. Actually, I'd think the ref a bit of an idiot if this was the case.
Parental bias, and all that.

But we don't always get a referee either so both coaches take turns at the half . Not a great situation but you do you what you have to so the kids can play . I'v always gave the close throw ins to the othe team just so it seems fair . But that sucks too oh well what can do .
Not having a go at you, matey :DQuote:

Oh I know Manker , the few times I had to coach the team ( coaches work too ) I put all the kids that never get to play forward up front ................ I'm 2 -0 :) I'm a fucking genuis ? lol
Offside decisions are a piece of piss.. All you have to do is keep track of at least six moving objects.. a doddle! :unsure:
I was all worred for not, the ref called them . Not very well I might add but he's the boss. :D
There's an Irish guy - former Gaelic football player - that has recently joined an English soccer club. The club is in the Championship or League 1/2. Apparently this guy has been cracking in the goals recently.
I heard him mentioned by Mark Clemet on BBC 5 Live about three weeks ago but I can't remember the guy's name, or who he plays for.
Does anyone know?
Cheers
There's a young Irish lad playing for Reading who only joined them in the summer - Kevin Doyle. He's been scoring a few.Quote:

Possibly the chap maker is speaking of.

Thanks for that lads, Kevin Doyle's the player I was thinking of.
