on the kick-off/choosing ends question BH responded: > > Yer obviously older than your ISP then. Win toss choose which end you > > attack, been that way for at least 7 years > > ... hardly surprising that as many ISP's are still but mawling infants in age terms while are juveniles and teeners. if there are any adults around (i'm not sure) they they surely be counted on your fingers ...
and MH came in with: > Was there a specific rule change for that then? Seems a bit odd to bother > changing a rule like that. > > I did my ACL about 4 years ago now, so haven't played since then, but > played twice a weekend for years before then. > agree that it used to be a choice 'tween ends or ko for that's what i learnt when i first qualified as a ref. when it was changed i remember not, nor the reasons why, but changed it was and of course there was a law change (otherewise it wouldn't be applied would it) which, de facto, makes it 'specific'. just one of the many rules people get wrong, like thinking you can't score a goal directly from kick-off. for clarification: Law 8 - The Start & Restart of Play Preliminaries A coin is tossed and the team which wins the toss decides which goal it will attack in the first half of the match. The other team takes the kick-off to start the match. The team which wins the toss takes the kick-off to start the second half of the match. In the second half of the match the teams change ends and attack the opposite goals. Kick-off A kick-off is a way of starting or restarting play: * at the start of the match * after a goal has been scored * at the start of the second half of the match * at the start of each period of extra time, where applicable A goal may be scored directly from the kick-off. guy (not only a beermeister) _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
