FAO GAvin - How a ref should ignore encroachment

[Horace]

There's almost always a defender encroaching - clearly is in this one. Good job the ref correctly ignored him as Cooperman slots home the game changing spot kick.

 

[Horace]

.. but bet he wouldn't have ordered a retake if Coops had missed!!!

[Lato]

Great picture...are there any more? As the penalty was scored the ref correctly ignored encroachment by the defenders.

[Horace]

Here they are, Lato.

Thanks Horace...I just checked out your website and found them anyway. Nice one of the Manor fans..

[Horace]

Indeed Lato - and you had the biggest contingent of fans for any visiting club this season so far!

[Lato]

Unfortunately we lost a third of the above at half time...they had had enough.

Which Police Station did they take that photo in? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It does have a look of "The Usual Suspects" about it.

I have seen it Horace, but the encroachemnt in the pic is by THEIR player not yours, so not the same situation. If your player had of missed a re take would have had to be taken, whereas if it aws your own player and he missed a retake would not.

Two questions:-

 

Noting position of his hand, does brother of BroxBoroBlue have some strange superstition when penalties are taken or some other problem??

 

If he is standing within the penalty arc is he not encraoching as well??

Dont know what the hell he is doing, but i wondered why he was signing at such a high notes on sat night at the Karaoke.

[ONE]

i think his singing (or lack of it) was down to the amount of alcohol he consumed !

Scotty loves it, win or lose hit the booze..

[Alfie Noakes]

The Super Cooper song was pretty good.

Joel's singing was up to its usual low standard as well....

[BBFC11]

As I don't want to be accused of starting new threads just for the sake of them this is the closest I could find on here to a Referee's thread. Was anyone aware that there is a Forum especially for Referee's and their Assistants to banter in amongst themselves:
