i've seen lots of shenanigans in lots of district matches and i've never seen anything like this either. i pity both those fools. about the coaching box, i wonder if the rule is even explicit enough to define whether one foot on the line is enough, if you need to be completely within the box... i doubt anyone felt the need for any such precision before these two clowns showed up. do they even have coaching boxes in NA? i remember when milliken played here the referee was unable to make their coaching staff understand that players warming up on the sidelines needed to wear bibs. i still think the irish girl should have waltzed a full TWENTY meters up the field just to see what the ref would do under the circumstances... and try to get krusty and sideshow bob to go postal. but even if she wasn't clever she made a helluva throw. if she intended to do better than that she didn't want much.
No we don't have rectangular technical areas, we have circles, because we're the village idiots, right. We stand in them wearing our Olympic Bronze medals. I've seen 14 year old officials chase parent coaches back in the technical area at u9 matches.
well i've seen a parent grab a linesman's flag and start hitting him on the head with it. but shorts? never.
If that was a player doing that, its a cautionable offense...yellow card for delaying the restart and/or unsportsmanlike conduct. Its not about the fact that he remains in the technical area...he's still delaying the restart. However, coaches cannot be shown cards; only players and substitutes can be shown a card. The rule of thumb for officials dealing with coaches is "Ask, Tell, Dismiss." I'd guess the 4th official there was at the "tell" stage.
well, mr. smartypants... knowing what you're talking about instead of just making up suppositions like the rest of us is not really playing fair, is it? are you sure you know what internetz discussion is all about?
Which brings up one of my pet peeves - on throw-in's basically every player on every team on the face of the earth moves well up from where they know the ball went out. It's one of the most annoying things when you're playing. Doesn't matter if you're from a latin country known for gamesmanship or a country known for honour-based competition - the ball goes into touch, and the player pump-fakes five times while moving 15 yards up the pitch. Men, women, children. The little voice on the shoulder saying "yeah, yeah, keep moving up" is pummeling the snot out of the voice saying "now you know the ball went out back there"...
i'm really surprise karina isn't hired to work the sidelines more. she's a natural. alex scott looking mighty nice, i'd say.
I think that Karina does it frequently, actually... I agree with you, she's very efficient. Alex is absolutely lovely.... And Camille is Camille, always so cheerful and funny
