Just noticed teams are having a player lay down on the floor behind the wall when a free-kick is being taken just outside the box. Obviously it's to cover that area when the wall jumps up.

I know it's happened before but they all seem to be doing it now.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

One of those marginal gain ideas that soon catches on so in effect no one has gain at all.  I have also seen a few keepers line a wall up and then put a slight split in it, presumably to give them an extra bit of a view of the ball and hoping/trusting the striker cant hit it through the gap.

Which led to the deflected free kick going in against us the other day

I thought this might have been a thread about JF avoiding some Town fans.
