TheBigO Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 5 minutes ago, Debut 4 said: When I played under 21s (many many moons ago now😁) we had some good refs(a couple ended up SPL ones) and some who were acting like it was a school game. In one game, we just took kick off and it was played back to my mate who was playing centre half. He took himself wide right and was looking to play it down the wing over the top. He shanked it out the park and said, “ffs” to himself. The ref booked him……barely a minute into the game. Aha!! At amateur, we had a ref who was an undertaker by trade (like he buried folk, it wasn't Mark Callaway). He sent me off for swearing nicely to him! Cup game, -20c at most, 1-1 in injury time, their guy scores an offside goal which was also handball, our whole team went mental at him, our goalie actually chased the ref all the way to the halfway line! So obvious he just didn't want extra time!!! Ref just waved them all away. I was playing left wing so was standing next to him as we're about to take kick off. Hadn't taken part in the chasing or anything, quietly said to him, "ref, you've ruined a good ****ing game here mate." Off!!!!!! I actually started grassing my own players - what aboot him!!!!!??? And him!!!!! He went mental at ye!!! Only ever got two reds and the next one was two weeks later, same ref!!! haha. (totally deserved, nearly took his leg off and was last man! Mind you, he got up and swung a punch so also got a red, job done!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon in the centre with the ball and a player on either corner of the six yard box. I still don't understand this tactic. It's been used now for at least a year - maybe more. For me three things usually end up happening - and this applies to the likes of Citeh, Liverpool etc 1. The ball is played short, the defenders piffle about passing to each other, get closed down, pass back to the keeper who launches the ball downfield (why not just let the keeper pass the ball downfield instead?) 2. The ball is played short, the defenders get dispossessed leading to a chance on goal or rarely actually conceding a goal. 3. On a rare occasion, the ball does get passed short, but then quickly also passed up field generating an attacking play. I saw us trying to do this at the away game v St Johnstone and all we did was put ourselves under needless pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Livingston highlights, Anderson had several shots (5 I think) on target with two goals. A right foot shot, nutmegged the keeper, A left foot shot around the keepers right hand side. Praised for his countless runs, and running around movement off the ball. BBC didn't rate him as highly it seems https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59751232. Edit. I just noticed 23 Chukwuemeka got their highest rating for playing 23 minutes onas a sub. must be some player. on loan from villa. Anyway the point of my original post was we got four players in team of the week. The most of any club for that week. I was abit surprised Haring got in there. I must have been distracted, not focused on the game. I think it's based on the best players from each position.

Don't know if this got answered but the idea is you make the opposition start further down the pitch to get closer to your defenders, and then you can pass out and have your men in space. I've never seen it work for us or any team playing us bar Rangers doing it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually Hearts that dominated team of the week. No rangers players at all. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
