This habit of when a team has a corner of placing the ball with just a millimetre over hanging the white line .....are todays Premiership players and all professional players incapable of kicking the ball that extra 3 inches that would be required if they actually placed the ball inside the quadrant .
I would love for Town to announce that as a team we will always place the ball inside the quadrant because our players can kick it that far ......would set a good example to the kids

Agreed. I think this would solve literally all of our problems.

At the expense of a new striker?

Dont get me going with these things. Why are players allowed to take throw ins that went out by the corner flag (att and def) up to 15 yrds away. What happened to bookings for players stopping free kicks being taken quickly someone always runs to where the ball is waits 5 secs then slowly walk away backwards

Agree with you on both posts. Honesty and integrity have gradually eroded in order to gain the most imperceptible advantage.

And the squealing like a baby with the slightest of touch to get the refs attention if Bobby c was still playing they would know what a tackle was.

According to the rules of the game, the ball is in the quadrant, so don't really understand your rant. It's stupid and an imperceivable advantage, but it doesn't slow down the game and isn't cheating.

Talking of little things that annoy you.
Why do football commentators use the word "same", as in "they both went for the same ball.
There is only one bloody ball, why not just say "they both went for the ball"
What does the word "same" add to that?

The word ball doesn't just refer to the sack of air that gets kicked around. It is also a term used for a pass ie "what a ball that was", so in that case, they're both going after the same pass that is with the only ball on the pitch
