Quick Question Thread


Recommended Posts

I don't think there is a Quick Question Thread in the Gen Football Forum, nor an Ask the Referee style one so I'll ask this here.

Question for any qualified referees. Last night I was preparing to take a goal kick, scuffed the turf slightly and placed the ball. The ref came racing across to me and said that I was "interfering with the topography of the pitch" and had to replace the divot otherwise I could be booked.

I've never heard of this before. Is it a new rule?

It is a bookable offence for a goalkeeper to mark his area, ie make marks so he knows where the posts are.

It doesn't sound like you were doing that on purpose but maybe thats what the ref thought.

Oh yes I was doing it on purpose. I always try to create a wee divot to place the ball on for goal kicks. But apparently that's as big an offence as biting, swearing and breaking someone's legs!

What I meant was you weren't making the marks on purpose to aid you with your bearings within the box. That is the bookable offence

Anybody know of any good pubs in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote that will likely be showing the cup final next month? You can guess what I forgot to think about :(

I'd be sacking the holiday. Your team are in the Scottish cup final, with a realistic chance of winning. Once in a lifetime scenario. Lanzarote certainly isn't going anywhere.

I'd already booked a holiday to Ibiza, when queens got into the UEFA cup qualifying. Fucked off the holiday to go to Copenhagen, not one regret. I'm also booked to go to Ibiza for the opening parties this year, which coincides with the playoff final. In the unlikely event queens get there, Ibiza will once again be getting sacked.

First holiday with the girlfriend so it's a bit more difficult. If I had the money then it would definitely be getting re-arranged though.

Ultimate test of whether or not she's a "keeper".

If she is understanding enough to let you cancel a holiday for a Falkirk cup final then you should be getting yourself to H Samuel sharpish and investing in a ring.

He probably wouldn't get the chance. Because even if she said that's fine, you know she'd be talking to her mates and they'd all be round the coven saying "He cancelled for a game of football?! Get rid of him Ingrid!"

I don't know her name latapythelegend, but I can picture you with an Ingrid :)

:P

My dishwasher is acting the c**t, it seems to wash everything fine and gets the food off, but when I take the dihes out they're all covered in this sort of gritty residue and I have to wash it all again by hand. Anyone know what's causing this?

Have you cleaned the filter and maybe run a dishwasher washing thingy through a cycle?

Gets the food off? Do you not rinse your plate before putting it in the dishwasher? It's probably clogged with old food and that's why it's covered in residue tbh.

If Falkirk win and you're not there you'll regret missing potentially one of the best days of your life. You have a girlfriend who needs telt
