good luck there ralph

our fans still get incensed if the oppo player doesn't put the entire ball totally inside the corner quadrant, if a smidge is over the line it's like someone has stolen all their kids and shot their pet dog.

      - Well it’s a new rule for them (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 10:09:28

    - it wasn't minor (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Dec 2, 08:37:51

        Good point from ESPN journo after the game (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 08:58:59
        
        Encroaching is not worth it but not sure I agree they can’t impact. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 2, 09:10:03
        
        If they impact then it’s a retake (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 09:12:19
        
        Not if they haven’t encroached. They can still legally run in and beat the attacking (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 2, 09:13:33
        
        No he says don’t encroach! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 09:17:07

        Point is really that without VAR it wouldn’t have been notice or given and (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 2, 09:12:03
        
        It has improved the laws being applied (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 09:15:05
        
        Well they may need to look at them. One of the perhaps unforeseen impacts of (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 2, 09:21:35
        
        Hopefully defenders just wait now (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 09:46:54
        
        I don’t think Max’s encroachment was as bad as you’re making out (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 2, 08:59:30
        
        kruls developing antics will be outlawed next season (NCFC) - Tombs, Dec 2, 09:07:25

        yep agree with that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Dec 2, 09:05:18
        
        thus it naturally loads the game in favour of better (richer) teams (NCFC) - Tombs, Dec 2, 08:59:25
        
        Or it favours the weaker teams (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 2, 09:10:17
