Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 On 01/08/2016 at 17:09, HibeeJibee said: Depending what season you're talking, if it was a shoot-out that might be correct: if the ball has come away from the goal, it couldn't go back in off the goalkeeper (or the referee / assistants though that would take some kick).A kick is successful if, having been touched once by the kicker, the ball crosses the goal line between the goal posts and under the crossbar, without touching any player, official, or outside agent other than the defending goalkeeper. The ball may touch the goalkeeper, goal posts, or crossbar any number of times before going into the goal as long as the referee believes the ball's motion is the result of the initial kick. This was clarified after an incident in the 1986 World Cup shoot-out between Brazil and France. Bruno Bellone's kick rebounded out off the post, hit goalkeeper Carlos's back, and subsequently bounced into the goal. Referee Ioan Igna gave the goal to France, and Brazil captain Edinho was booked for protesting that the kick should have been considered a miss as soon as it rebounded off the post. In 1987, the International Football Association Board clarified Law 14, covering penalty kicks, to support Igna's decision. Wait. You said that, in shootouts, the ball cannot come off the post, hit the goalie and then go in. Bu that's what the ref allowed in that shootout, and in the last sentence, the IFAB agreed he was right! That's a contradiction, unless your initial statement refers to the current situation, which must have seen a reversal of the 1987 decision? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimboyjones1976 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The Sixes was a brilliant tournament and one that, during its time at Falkirk, drew some serious competition from the top teams. It should be back in some way but with the way things are nowadays I would doubt it would be anywhere near as exciting as it was. No chance the top teams would risk their players in it. It was looked upon as a serious tournament in its own right. Bring it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Wait. You said that, in shootouts, the ball cannot come off the post, hit the goalie and then go in. Bu that's what the ref allowed in that shootout, and in the last sentence, the IFAB agreed he was right! That's a contradiction, unless your initial statement refers to the current situation, which must have seen a reversal of the 1987 decision? Actually intrigued with this now. Have to say if I was watching a shoot out I'd assume a kick that hit the bar/post, the keeper then went in would be a goal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine managers would be too keen on it now in the days of cotton wool footballers. To answer a 2 and a half year old question - yes! Davie Cooper got a fucking *carpet burn* that kept him out for a few games - IIRC, he missed a game at Parkhead because of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming you mean St. Johnstone - because both they and Motherwell finished on two points and 5-5 goal record. Well - wouldn't you know it - the tie-breaker in such instances was the side which had scored earliest in their opening match would progress. Motherwell scored within the first minute of their match with St Mirren - whilst St Johnstone didn't open their account until two minutes plus v Rangers. Maybe we could use this system in the Euro groups? https://ian38018.blogspot.com/2021/03/1984-tennents-sixes.html 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I like to think of Ian poring over old newspaper articles all these years until finally, earlier this evening, he managed to solve the great enigma of why Motherwell progressed at the expense of St Johnstone in the Tenents Sixes, and felt he had to share it right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
