Perhaps. But 33 points should you in a relegation conversation, even if you probably survive. You are worried on 33 points, is what I’m saying.
Utd are in absolutely no danger of getting relegated. The team in 18th has 17 points ffs.
Why was that technique banned? Is it just because the game is run by joyless pricks?
Yeah… apparently the ball has to turn its full circumference…
Also, looking back, we are now closer to 2070 than 1970… !
It was not actually banned. The player who takes a free kick cannot be the player who next touches the ball. The upward flick is both the first and second touches.

Well he is going to eventually
It requires you touch it with both feet, which technically is two touches

I also recall some issue in the 90s where someone tried a variation using a one footed scoop, but the kill joys found issue with that as well for a lot more dubious reasons.
So it’s should have never stood in the first place??
Don’t say that in Coventry - outside the 87 cup win, it’s their proudest moment.

That Keith Houchin goal is to this day one of my favourite non-liverpool goals. My god, the hours we spent in the garden trying to recreate it, efforts largely of futility as anger grew on all sides at how no one could put the cross exactly where it was needed to pull the diving header.

Yep, it was a botched officiating decision all along.
I remember that game like it was yesterday.
As soon as it was over I went to the park to try and recreate it, as did every other kid in the town. I think more of them ended up sliding face down through dog shit than made any kind of contact with the ball.
The eighties were great.
