Rules Question

[Skillz]

Sorry if this is seen as a stupid question but

 

What is the point of the semicircle arch on each of the 18 yard boxes?

 

Thanks in advance

[Guest Sabre]

I always thought it was to prevent encroachment on penalties.

 

On a similar note, I'm not sure if you can collect the ball from a goalkick from within the semicircle?

That's what i was thinking, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the reply. If anyone can confirm this is right and the one and only reason it would be appreciated.

[John am Rhein]

I'm pretty sure it IS for preventing encroachment on penalties.

 

And I'm pretty sure you CAN collect the ball from a goal kick within the 'D'

[Guy_Incognito]

It's to make sure that everyone's 10 yards from the penalty spot when it's taken. It's only a semicircle cos you're not allowed in the penalty box when a penalty's getting taken anyway

can substituted players be brought back on in any circumstances, yes?no? just asking...

Only if his first name beings with M, and his last name begins with B.

[allez les rouges]

aparently if when you are attacking your opponents, in their box, and you commit a very serious foul, a penalty can be awarded against you!! could you imagine that if a cup final!

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

It is, as the penalty area has straight lines part of it is within 10 yards of the spot. The arc indicates 10 yards from the ball.

 

It is ok from a goal-kick as it's not a part of the penalty area

[Herbie von Smalls]

Only if his first name beings with M, and his last name begins with B.

Actually in some leagues they can.

What? The NFL and NBA?

If the offense is not in your penalty area a penalty can never be awarded against you. You can kick someone's legs of, gang rape him, feed him old fruit outside the box - all hell will be raised but never a penalty kick.

In Swedish 6th division and I assume downwards you may make as many substitutions as you like. Number of subs is always maximum 5 players but they and the other 11 can be switched freely.

what? Not according to the rules of the game you can't. A substituted player will play no further part...

Laws, not rules

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

true-enough

You are Rob Styles and I claim my 5 match suspension.

Mentioning that name is a bookable offense for bringing the game into disrepute

In the lower divisions in Norway you can, not sure how low you have to go though, I`ve only played down to division 3, but I think its from 6th division or something like that, looks like its the same in Sweden according to Obey Hysen.

 

The different federations are allowed to have their own domestic rules if they apply for it, I remember in the late 80`s before I got my debut in the senior team, we tried out having penalty shoot outs after draws in Norway, where the winner of the penalty shoot out got two points instead of just one.

 

This was a time where the teams in Norway struggled with attendance, and the penalty shoot outs was brought in to try to make things more interesting if it was boring 0-0 draws to keep the audience in the stadium.

 

It only lasted for one season though because it was not the best idea, so I never got to play under the rule since it was only the senior teams that tried it out, thats why I dont remember the exact year.

The lower leagues in Norway would be a natural home for the boy Baros too.

[_00_deathscar]

How did that come about anyway, the whole "Bring Baros back on" thing?

I think it was a match thread and we were getting pissed off as we were losing. Mike just came out and said, "Why the f*** didn't we just bring Baros back on?!"
