AL-FFC Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 13 hours ago, Ian Mcleod said: We have a squad of 24 I don't really know where you've got 27 from. One of them is a youth 3rd choice keeper. And another Fergus Owens who is injured for the entire season. Check your club website you have 27 players in your squad according to it. or have you not paid the website company for updating it ..lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs have actually been briefed before the start of this season to clamp down on ball shielding with no attempt to control or play the ball being made. Guaranteed that's the only time you see that applied at all this season though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find the article I read that mentioned this but having read the actual rule again there should have been no issue with what Alfie was doing anyway as the ball was entirely within touching distance. Said from the first free kick he awarded on Saturday the referee wanted all the attention with his over the top dramatics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. The interpretation of that rule, to me, is wild as any attempt by a player to shield the ball from another *should* be penalised since the "body" - torso only or are legs included?* - is the main means of shielding last time I looked. * Removing your "body" from your legs is quite hard to do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Should the 1915 to 1917 run count? As wartime teams were notoriously unstable and full of ringers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them are also already out on loan 1 at Annan and 2 at Darvel which they also haven't stated on the website. They also haven't updated Daire O'Connor on it who signed a few weeks ago now. Transfermarkt is much more reliable than our website which probably says everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I be waiting patiently every game when defenders constantly block off our wingers so the ball can run out for goal kicks every week. I'd best not hold my breath though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
