Hayes and Yeading are into the league cup final after beating Salisbury 4-0

Basingstoke sharpening their scoring boots for Saturday's big game.

 

One thing the game won't be is dull!

They're win the league cup but get relegated, the way they are going !

[GlenSTFC]

Strange result as although Salisbury are a league below, they're doing well and scoring a lot, whereas H&Y are the opposite. I thought it'll be a draw or an away win!

[SloughFlyer]

Glen - we went to this one and Sailsbury we missing about 7/8 players. The looked fairly decent going forwards but struggled like mad to stop an under strength H+Y side in defence. 1st half it was 1-0 and a close game. The Sailsbury side went 3 at the back from the start of the 2nd half and that was the end of that as H+Y took them apart.

[GlenSTFC]

7/8 injured or rested I wonder? Bet there wasn't much of a crowd either?

[SloughFlyer]

7/8,injured from what their press guy and a bloke we got talking to said. Apparently they started with 2 midfielders in defence and it showed.

 

Crowd was actually surprisingly good. We rocked up at 7.30 expecting there too be less than 100 there and the car park was full and there were cars up the road on both sides of the entrance. Fairly shocked and probably 200+ there for a decent evenings entertainment.

the attendance according to the league website was 139

[Reading Rebel]

In last nights game between Leamington and Chesham the ref gave a free kick for a back pass when the ball came off a Chesham players thigh.

 

I wasn't 100% sure on the back pass rule so looking it up it seems it's not deemed a back pass if it comes off a players thigh, knee or shin. 

 

Another couple of strange rules which I'd either forgotten or they have passed me by is that a free kick would be given if a player uses a 'trick' to pass the ball back to the keeper i.e.

 

'A player flicks the ball up and then heads the ball back to the keeper' or 

 

'A player heads the ball along the ground to the keeper when he could normally have kicked the ball' 

 

Both are considered 'unsporting behaviour' and it's irrelevant whether the keeper picks the ball up or not.

That actually happened recently to Inter's Perisic:

Blimey, good spot Tom!

 

Obviously a rule that not many especially players are aware of.

[staines_rebel_Jr]

some of us do though

[Sloughboy]

I wasn't surprised by Salisbury game too! Was sure they would beat H&Y, they have played a few midweeks in that so thought they would have taken seriously. Bennett and Wright played and are top scorers in league and so they obviously played a strong side.

 

Will be a shame if Hayes go down for us I think! (Unless we are not in this league of course)

[Reading Rebel]

some of us do though

 

 

That goes without saying SRJ      

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Yup I remember when they brought that law in classed as "manufacturing a back pass" and is a yellow card offence for attempting it even if the keeper doesn't pick it up...
