Is There A Workable Solution To Limiting Handpasses In Football?

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Couple of people on here giving out about hand/fist passing. Limiting this has no bearing on the game. If defenders sit back , what do you want the players in possession to do? Nobody to blame only the players themselves, A bit more man to man marking would help. Remarks about paid managers wanting to win is silly.

Why are you blaming the players…? Why do you think they are all sitting back in defence…? They are playing to a plan devised by these geniuses of coaches who are being paid.. Deviate from this plan and you're off the team… Saying that players are to blame is the real silly comment…. wake up there good lad…!!!

You are absolutely exhausting. Wake up seems to be the only thing you can say in response to people. You have no involvement in coaching or playing and you just give out non stop and want changes that are not that simple.

You give out about new rules and then in the same breath give out that the game is terrible. So you will never be happy. Get off the couch and go coaching 3 or 4 nights if you want to change something. You won't though, because you haven't a notion.

100% but if the players sitting back know that if they push up the opposition will just throw/handpass the ball around them. If they had to kick it instead, the incentive to push out would be greater. Stiing back is a symptom, not the problem.
It's too easy to keep possession, thats the fundamental underlying reason for a need to change. The easy handpass is the reason. 49 rules later and we haven't addressed it. Jim likes a handpass.
