The money and time isn't worth it for me but I do still enjoy the adrenaline rush of the Sunday league ethnic games lol I need a new hobby
AYSO G19 game. New GK comes in halfway through second half catches the ball and casually walks out of the PA with it with all her teammates yelling to stop. 19U!
Very difficult to see anything from this distance. What I can say is not one player reacted in a manner where they thought there should be one. The best I can tell, the attacker was frustrated with not getting a good shot off. Again, the camera is just too far away to see if there was any sort of relevant contact.
Thanks, while I agree that there was some contact...it was minimal in my book and in my estimation, embellished. Coach was screaming at me from across the pitch, he got a yellow for his efforts. Only good thing, I was about as close to that play as you could be...I win on the optics alone!!!
Also not sure about the foul. Good positioning though, maybe you could have made a no-foul signal with your arms (like the safe sign for baseball umpires) to sell it to the stadium? I have not done many duels (I don't do high school yet, my daughter is still playing), but are you both doing it on the opposite side?
Camera position does make it difficult to see. There was some contact, but with an official right there, I wouldn't change it. I probably would have said something like "Nothing" or "No foul" just to let the whole stadium know what was going on.
It's in the second half, so per NFHS the refs switch from left-backs to right-backs. Around here we don't do that, but I believe around Philly they do. @Barciur can confirm.
Thanks, I got into a pretty good position, though I might have been blocked because it's entirely possible on the video that the defender got a small piece of the ball before there was any contact.
Sigh. Second week in a row with a G19 GK HB outside the PA. This time coming from a kick off by the other team with a pass back blasted forward, and the GK calmly walks out of the PA to pick it up. As I’m jogging towards the play ready to caution for SPA, I realize the attacker wants to go quickly, so I wait, shot, goal. Pat myself on the back for not giving the caution and delaying the kick. (But it later dawns on me that it might have been DOGSO rather than SPA. Wish I had a replay to watch . . .)
Two weeks ago in the first game of an O30 mens doubleheader, I gave a DOGSO red for a keeper handling to stop an attack about two yards outside his penalty area. Seven minutes into the second game, I'm AR2 as the goalkeeper in my half comes out and handles the ball about six inches away from where the previous game's DOGSO took place. The referee (my AR2 in the prior game) and I just stared at each other in disbelief for a second. We determined that the penalty area surely must be too small if it happened twice less than an hour (of real time) apart!
