Traf Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I think that's a bit harsh. I thought it was a good goal from them on Saturday, aided and abetted by the ref who had our wall 12 yards from the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, for the free kick, the ball was placed 2 yards further back. If that's where the ref spotted it then the wall was, certainly, too far back. The various lines show that, vlearly. I'm just wondering if Shrewsbury moved the ball back once our line position was plugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted October 4, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2021 Is there any reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to allow teams to move the ball back Actually, the throw that led to the pen, the taker stepped at least 5 yards nearer his own goal before he took it Why not, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point where it looked like the ref was striding out from the wall to where the free kick should be placed. Am sure he did. reflostplot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offence is where the club is penalised from. That's where the kick should be. But, taking your opinion to it's logical conclusion the defending team wall is required to be no closer than 10 yards from the kick, so they should then have the right to shuffle forward.

That's my thoughts too. If being a bit further away improves the chances on getting the ball up and down, which would be a benefit of moving the ball, then it would be a treble punishment for the infringement in the first place.

Remember when indiscipline by the defending team resulted in the ball being placed ten yards closer to the goal? Players knew the optimum distance for the free-kick taker and would argue with the ref so the ball went forward and the taker couldn’t get the ball up and down in time. Another shit rule change. I’m fairly sure the kicker wasn’t given the option to take the ten yard or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already seen 3 this season. Was there a fourth somewhere I'm forgetting? Sheehan scored one against MK Dons, then they scored one against us. Now Shrewsbury have scored one, didn't even look that good on the replay if you watch the Inside Matchday video at 9 minutes 10 seconds. Definitely not top corner and I'm not slagging Dixon off, maybe L1 level keepers just aren't at that level to save freekicks like that, but feel like that would have been saved in a higher division. I remember thinking last season that not only did nobody score a free kick, for either side, but I don't recall one troubling the keeper much, like you say if they'd been great free kicks the keepers probably wouldn't have got near them. I'm sure Crawford scored one the season before but I could be dreaming that, probably wishful thinking. Going back 4 years Morais scored a cracker at Millwall. Slim pickings!

Both lacked pace, but from dead ball situations, as good as anything we've had outside of the glory Prem years. Tony Kelly also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
