Rule Change

[BigDunc'sFod]

Pickford picks up ball
Waits 7 secs
Lobs it to Tarkowski
Who heads it back - not a back pass
Bingo
Another 8 secs
Rinse and repeat

Surely he can just bounce it?

To be fair, Pickford is probaby the worst at doing it.

Is he, or are we just watching him more often? All the keepers do it and it's already a 6 sec violation rule, not one ref has bothered with it while keepers wait for a bit for the team(s) to settle. If anything, Pickford kicks it out fairly quickly as this has been part of our plan for the last few years and he's usually the type of keeper to palm/push/punch the ball away for saves, he rarely holds on to them.

He can dribble it a few times and Kobe it on to Tarkowski's head, who heads it back, rinse and repeat.

I’m with otters who say that the 6 second rule has been discarded completely. Infuriating so it is.
