in instances where it is clear this wasnt happening, surely you just chalk it up to an accident.
Its a simple rule though and all players know the direction the unmpires will exit the contest. if they chose to stand there and make contact they run the risk of a penalty. Not saying it's right but its simple really... DONT F*KING STAND THERE
I noticed one of the players ran into Chelsea Roffey (sp?) on the weekend en route to kicking the ball in and wondered at the time if it would be ok to make contact with a goal umpire? Not sure if anyone was cited.
Ooh ooh, pick me! I'll "run into" her!! Ooh ooh...pick me...pick me!!
How big is it Chelsea?
