Funny you say that. I saw a bunch of laddies play football at the 5 a side pitch on Montgomery Street. Rare site, those wee pitches are hardly ever used.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I was outside non stop playing football when I was wee but if I had grand theft auto, Call of duty and FIFA and I could play against my mates and talk to them on headsets, I'd probably be addicted to that like the young ones are.
I think football training is more organised now lots of kids have training 4 nights a week between club and school and two games on Saturday and Sunday. Probably accounts for some kids not playing in the park. The biggest change for the good in this area is the thousands of girls in Edinburgh doing the same. It's brilliant to see so many girls games on at the weekend.

It's sad but it's not just kids go to a restaurant or pub in the 60s and everyone is talking, now loads of couples and even groups of lads are glued to their phones. Most people when at home probably have a TV on and phones getting watched at the same time. The whole world is glued to their phone

When was the last time a referee awarded an indirect free kick in the box? Not seen one for ages.
Kind of linked, when was the last time a referee penalised a goalkeeper for holding the ball longer than 6 seconds? Fans need to start counting again as it is getting ridiculous, keepers hold the ball for 30-40 seconds now and the ref does nothing about it.

I would add to this, the amount of warnings they get from refs during that period of time. The ref jogs back up the pitch, usually to somewhere around halfway, there’s 3-4 seconds. Then the ref will turn, and look at the keeper. After a few more seconds, they’ll blow the whistle, then another several seconds they’ll wave to keeper to get things moving. Then as the crowd inevitably starts to get vocal, they’ll wave again. And then again.
Same thing happens with goal kicks when a team is trying to waste time. Keeper goes to the ball. Then a centre half will stroll over and the keeper moves away. The player will make a show of looking up the pitch, and then they’ll jog away and the keeper will come back in to play a 3 yard pass to them. Both situations are a nonsense, I think I saw the other day that FIFA are tweaking the rules around the 6 second thing as keepers are definitely taking the piss at times.

Refs just do nothing about it at all other that waving the keeper on as McD says.
I had a wee look at the IFAB trial that is going to start and supposedly it's because they feel like an indirect free kick in the box is too much of a punishment, which I do sort of understand. So they are going to trial awarding a throw in to the other team in line with the penalty spot or a corner kick if the keeper holds the ball for more than 8 seconds. Hopefully it works.
