Hope they used an atomic clock to define the closing of the window.....otherwise I suspect they'll lose.
So, if not 14 seconds what do you suggest? If you allow 10 minutes leeway would you allow 14 seconds on top of that? When refereeing would you let the match run on beyond time so that one team might score?Its not one form, its a series of forms, they had them all, apart from the last one..... Surely there is leeway here as the process surely started and was 99% complete. Yes, there has to be a cut off but 14 seconds... come on!!!!
That made me laugh out loud, thanks A Freethinker.yes I caught him after the ball only 14 seconds late ref
Ok lads....ignore the rule books policies and procedures drop the LOTG during matches and do what you like when you like! The guy isn't able to ply his trade because they didn't fulfil the obligations within the set timescale..I just ran the red light officer, yes I was 14 seconds late but it's only 14 seconds.....yes I caught him after the ball only 14 seconds late ref, let's just ignore the very well known procedures sure they won't care it's only a few seconds....oh wait...lesson learnt! Next time get it before the deadline as the deadline is the deadline for a reason!
6.01 seconds actuallyI take it you're giving free kicks every week for goalkeepers not releasing the ball once 7 seconds has elapsed?
If they were auditioning for 'The Child Catcher' part in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang......You lot should all apply. Not a bone of charity amongst the lot of ye!!!.....
Whether we agree with it or not rules are rules, and if FIFA make an exception in this case then they will have set a precedent where they will have to make other exceptions
