Hackett's at it again - You Are The Ref 312

[McTavish]

Today's blunder
Scenario: Penalty shootout involving a team down to eight players - two team mates start fighting. What to do?
Hackett: Send both off and abandon.
LOTG:The referee must not abandon the match if a team is reduced to fewer than seven players during the taking of kicks from the penalty mark.

I rest my case m'lud.

Lol - opps Hackett. Wrong again. Read the blooming laws before printing them for the General population at least.

Where's @haywain ?

It would be quicker to count the ones he got right rather than the ones he got wrong!

 

[Jacko]

Hackett is right.

In theory you only need a player from each team to complete a penalty shoot out.

 

[SM]

He was very wrong, hence he updated his answer after this discussion took place.

 

[Jacko]

God I need to start reading properly =/

 

[Jacko]

Hackett has a ghost writer anyway...

 

[haywain]

Boo!

Who is this Kevin Hackett, anyway

Yup, I emailed the Observer to complain about the accuracy of the strip (a bit sad, I know) and it got changed! Now I just need him to correct the first one...it's never a re-take.
