Why dont we get De Gea to wear an extra baggy top. When he plays a one - two... three-four off the head of Phil Jones and the opponents begin to Mark Jones and De Gea - DDG should then place the ball up his top as if to simulate male pregnancy. He can then keep the ball there for the remaining 30 mins of the match or if he fancies a go at goal, he could run upfield. Job done.
Why hasn't anyone used this tactic yet?
- Thread starter fontaine
- Start date
I finally did this playing with my friends. They were shook, didn't know how to stop it.
How long did you keep it up for? And did you win 1-0?
It's still equally unfair as it was when you first started the thread. Just give it up.
To close out a game, get the ball in play and all the players to do this around it
The other team would have no chance of winning the ball back without fouling. Take the free kick and repeat

It's obstruction, mate.
What if every player has their foot on the ball?
It´s not a bad idea in the last minutes. Goalie sends all players forward for a resumably long kick. Then one of his own players runs back quickly umarked and does the header thing. Probably takes an additional 30 seconds off the clock.
Didn't Greece use similar tactics in the Euros?
What if every player has their foot on the ball?
Because all the other team would have to do to negate it is start marking the defender tightly - then he'd likely mess it up - or itd be a risk of messing it up or intercepting it and it would be in a very dangerous area to do it. So that's why.
Since 4th is safe, why not? Would be interesting to see the MOTD meltdown.Really?
We should try it against Hull!
ffsThe thread turned out to be bad because of the rule they found out, NOT beause of your guys counter arguments. "Oh, just someone to mark the defender!" What? My 7 FT TALL DEFENDER? Remember, footballers are usually like 5'10. It would look like this (Also, GK are tall and have loong arms)
I've been laughing like a lunatic for a good few minutes now. this thread is goldenSaw this happen once in 5 a sides and the ref walked up and chinned the keeper. He didnt do it again.
Good luck trying that in the Bernabeu. Oh wait, if only Rafa knew about it...And you do that for the rest of the game?
I hope you all realise that before passing the ball back to the keeper was outlawed Liverpool won 18 league titles and 4 European Cups. Please stop encouraging this type of thing.
I'm not surprised because either the ref was on your side or he doesn't know the rules.

I'm sorry to correct you but that's an old version. Version 2.0 of the FIFA laws of the game states following:
• uses a deliberate trick while the ball is in play to pass the ball to his own goalkeeper with his head, chest, knee, etc. in order to circumvent the Law, irrespective of whether the goalkeeper touches the ball with his hands or not. The offence is committed by the player in attempting to circumvent both the letter and the spirit of Law 12 and play is restarted with an indirect free kick unless the offender can provide a drawing publicly posted on an internet forum to prove it is physically possible.
I put his odds of being invited back at 1 in 7.
You could throw the ball anywhere on the pitch and it would hit Ronaldo's head.
He wasn't kicked though, was he? I thought he just faded back into obscurity?
and then everyone applauded and each person gave him £100. The refs name? Albert Einstein
It was more likely to be Alberto Esteves
No, there’s a line through his name for me.
Ha weird, there isn't for me. But now that you've said it I haven't seen the line through username thing in ages, so my browser probably just isn't showing it.
Shame, he was entertaining at times.
I dont see a line or "banned" either
That’s probably because he had a tagline. But trust me, he’s banned.
My proudest accomplishment right there.Just found out this thread... gold!!
Along with the prophet comment.
It will only result in a new rule.
The keeper can't grab hold of the ball when it's headed back to him
