Wow

What a great document!

Gotta print it in color, read it and keep it on my shelf.

 

[Bjerknes]

Bah, I already know the game like the back of my hand.

 

[Elnur_E65]

I do too, but a lot of people around me don't. That's why I wanna have it on my shelf, so I can stick it up their as* when they argue with me about the rules of football!

Funny how a certain degree of humour can be found in official documents. I haven't read through every single rule, but the wording of some of them caught my eye :geek:

Delaying the restart of play
Referees must caution players who delay the restart of play by tactics such as:
- taking a free kick from the wrong position with the sole intention of forcing the referee to order a retake
- appearing to take a throw-in but suddenly leaving it to one of his team-mates to throw-in
- delaying leaving the field when being substituted

Those are pretty clever ideas

Celebration of a goal
While it is permissible for a player to demonstrate his joy when a goal has been scored, the celebration must not be excessive.

The practice of choreographed celebrations is not to be encouraged when it results in excessive timewasting and referees are instructed to intervene in such cases.

A player must be cautioned when:
- he climbs on to a perimeter fence to celebrate a goal being scored

:LOL: I just like the wording of these three

Liquid refreshments
Players are entitled to take liquid refreshments during a stoppage in the match but only on the touch line. It is not permitted to throw plastic water bags or any other water containers onto the field.

I didn't know they had a rule regarding this

- when a severe injury has occurred e.g. swallowed tongue

Wow. I never knew that the soccer field could vary so much in size. I mean, its a pretty big difference if you play on 45 m width or a 90 m width field

Do anyone know the dimensions of Highburry and Delle Alpi... Just for a comparission.

 

[Len]

Interesting...

 

[gray]

Sorry I'm not too sure Art, try googling it

is it just me, or does the Nou Camp seem wider than other pitches?

 

[Art^]

Highburry 91,44x66,75 m

Delle Alpi 105x68 m

Nou Camp 107x72 m (currently 105x68 according to UEFA)


Its from the clubs official sites.

good work Sherlock :thumb:

 

[Art^]

ahhh now i know.... Arsenal is in yards while Delle alpi is in metres

 

[gray]

:LOL: are you sure it's not feet?

I actually thought it the Highbury pitch was smaller too

 

[Art^]

It is smaller, now i calculated it to metres

 

[gray]

ahh no wonder Arsenal look like they play so fast and flowing

 

[Art^]

And thats why i think that Arsenal wont have any european succes this year. They are very compact at home, but when they play away games, they struggle.

I wonder how strong Milans or Juves defense would be in Highburry
