is it in the laws of the game that

you have to actually kick off?

 

Can't see why there would be... can you?

 

We should do that for every remaining game this season, at least we'd keep a clean sheet for one half of the game...

 

mate, are you clinically insane?

a match is 45mins per half + stoppages!

 

just kick the ball out of the ground until they run out of balls , which they have already, if you get my drift

 

i was actually thinking that if there is indeed no law saying u have to kick off if drawing at half time and need a point to stay up just don't kick off the 2nd half if that situation arose might be better than watching the rubbish we watching now bit likr monty python greece vs germany philosophers game

 

If you didn't kick the ball you would be carded for wasting time.

 

i can tell hes thinking about it from the photo

 

how do u now has anyone ever seen this happen no one knows the law on this

 

I think you will find Archimedes kicked off and they broke away to score a great headed goal by Socrates.
Who I still maintain was offside.

 

this ^

 

i am a barrister dealing in sports law,, for the answer,,,,,, ,,,,,, look at rule 6 on page 3

 

The referee blows his whistle to start the game.
Any time wasting between that first and last whistle can lead to a card.

 

Great thread, got me chuckling. .
