coin toss (7 Viewers)

[sylus]

why do we still do that before a game, i mean it doesn't make any sense now, abit outdated, why not let the home sides choose which end they attack first

Because it would give an unfair advantage to the home side, for example when the sun is low in the second half sometimes it can be shining directly into a goalkeepers eyes. Wind can also be a factor taken into consideration as can the location of the away fans behind one of the goals.
At times small margins can make big differences.

And the award for the most pointless thread of all time…

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Can’t say I’ve ever given it a thought

Coin Toss works for me but maybe it needs varying a bit
The home team could have the choice of method. Guess which hand the coin is in, carrot in a box, Rock Paper Scissors etc etc

I completely agree, the coin toss is outdated now, it should be replaced by a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Should have a biscuit race

Next question: Why are corner flags necessary? What’s the point?

Connect 4 best of 3, each leg contested by a different player.
Close up footage shown on the scoreboard.

I'd imagine we'd be looking at Dabo as lead 'connector' followed by Gyokeres and Hyam as last man if it went to the decider.

Or that weird half circle on the penalty area

 

[rob9872]

Just come off the phone to Tony and he asked if I could post on this for him as he was out. He said 'fucking Tory twats still making us toss a coin'

Michael Byng doesn't understand why they aren't using half crowns.

I liked the thread where it was debated where the north begins and whether the Midlands is part of it or not

There wasn't one!

the conclusion was. who gives a toss.

Why do players always put the ball outside the quadrant when taking a corner? If it’s because there isn’t enough room then make it a foot bigger and say the ball has to be inside the quadrant line.

I find it really annoying!

Toss the bitcoin ?

Choose a different theme every week (to add to the excitement) The away team captain has to guess if it's a cake or not, with it being displayed on the big screen. The fans can join in, screaming 'cake' or 'not cake' . What a way to get the crowd worked up before kick off.

Opens up a whole new market for the bookies as well.

Referee David McNamara suspended for 'rock, paper, scissors' - BBC Sport

A referee has been suspended for three weeks for deciding a Women's Super League kick-off with a game of rocks, paper, scissors instead of a coin toss.

Or why don’t both teams kick the same way and switch ends at half time?

Like a big game of Wembley, you mean?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

They should decide who kicks off by playing 90 minutes of football between the two sides. The winner of that game, decides which end they kick off from.

They like to show themselves to be daring rebels, getting one over the authorities trying to tell them what to do. Bellends.

Just like this guy:

I was called "a knob" for stating the known fact that Lincoln, Stoke and Nottingham are in the Midlands whilst Crewe is in the north.

Although it's not the most pressing issue, I sort of agree, though I'd give the away side the chance to choose ends and home side who kicks off. It's make stadium designers think harder about the orientation, like with ours where the sun shines in the face of one of the goalies.

Next weeks non-pressing subject - should the penalty area be a different shape?

Just because it helps us out with pitch marking. Make it the entire area within the 22 yard line…. All the way across. Games would be finishing 12-11
