Matt Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 They don't though Matt....they stop the clock if the ball goes into touch but not if it's still on the pitch. im sure they do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 im sure they do! Nope. If they did why the rushed huddles and QB throwing the ball into touch (when a team are out of time-outs)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 "The referee controls the game clock and stops the clock after any incomplete pass or any play that ends out of bounds. In addition, each team is allowed 3 timeouts in each half that they may use at their own discretion. The clock may also be stopped for an officials' time-out, after which, if the clock was running, it is restarted. For example: if there is a question as to whether or not a team has moved the ball far enough for a first down, the officials may use a measuring device (the chains) to determine the distance. While this measurement is taking place, the officials will signal for a stoppage of the clock. Once the measurement is finished and the ball is placed at the proper location (spotted), the referee will then signal for the clock to restart. Additional situations where officials may take a time-out are to administer a penalty or for an injured player to be removed from the field."

Matt Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Nope. If they did why the rushed huddles and QB throwing the ball into touch (when a team are out of time-outs)? QB throughs it out so he doesnt lose yards or to keep possession. If hes tackled after the snap the line of scrimmage takes place from where the tackle was made. Throwing it away keeps the possession and resets the play at the original line. The bit in bold is about 90% of the game! Also stopped when reviewing a flag if i remember correctly.

MikeO Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 QB throughs it out so he doesnt lose yards or to keep possession. When it's a panic play when he's about to be hit then yes....but when the ball is snapped and immediately thrown into touch as a planned play it's purely to stop the clock. If a pass is complete or a receiver is tackled after running the clock keeps going. If 90% of plays ended incomplete or out of bounds then the game would never go anywhere .

Zoo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 @ J - Was that Neymar? It was a really good assist but nothing compared to this wonder-piece of skill from days gone by. I remember actually sitting downstairs in the living room and laughing my tits off when he did it. He does quite well to get round the first man too and find some space for himself but managed to show himself up in front of the whole stadium - quality.

Louis Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 You're wrong Matt. Face it. 11 minutes though :\ For the price of the tickets the fans are ripped off entirely. I thought football was bad with a third of game with the ball not being in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Mildly interesting stat.... Current top-flight Englishmen with the most Premier League appearances without playing for England: 1. Titus Bramble (275) 2. Tony Hibbert (244) 3. Leon Osman (240) Hope this is looked at when picking over age players for the Olympic squad (apart from Bramble of course ).

pete0 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Nope. He's mediocre. Always has been, always will be. He should have been in the England team, he's better than the like of Johnson, Richards, Carragher and Mills. Gary Neville aside, Hibbert has been one of the best right backs of the last 10 years. I agree he's quite mediocre, but he's better than his competition. Edited March 24, 2012 by pete0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam rolls forward but lacks in defensive duty's. Bluemoon will have endless threads of his shitness. He had a great debut season give him that.

Pretty sure its not his debut season, hes been around for a while and been very good for City. http://forums.bluemo...php?f=1&t=98622 He's definitely had more shit games than good. He simply can't defend. In a different thread 'Why do people keep saying he's a right back? He's fecking clueless as a right back. He's inept going forward, can't cross the ball, can't shoot and can't head a ball for toffee if he actually get's into any attacking position. (Not that the latter two are particularly essential, but to be able to cross the ball and not give it away constantly are.) Utterly useless as a right back. He is a center back, or a car park attendant.' Edited March 24, 2012 by pete0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hibbert is as solid as a sloppy turd. He can tackle, that's about it, and nine times out of 10 he needs to be able to tackle due to being horribly out of position in the first place. Pete - Yes he's better than his England competition but that doesn't mean I should be happy about him having played so often for us? He's just not good enough and if we had two pennies to rub together he should have been replaced instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd replace him if there was better players about, but there seems to be a lack of good rb's. We missed out big time on Walker and I cant see Coleman ever being that great. Hopefully Browning cut it for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no positional sense and gets lost up field forgetting/being to lazy to track back.

EFC-Paul Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Richards is twice the player that Hibbert is and so are/where the others apart from Mills who is on a similar level.... Hibbert is a loyal one dimensional work horse nothing more nothing less. I'll give him his due He has been better this season but still as Mark says it's still only average really considering He's been pretty piss poor in the past. If Coleman tightened up his defensive abilities I'd have him in week in week out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) By being a far better and all rounded player. Hibbert has grit and heart but his all round game is average He has nothing more in his locker then what I have already mentioned. There is a reason why Hibbert is not capped at International level and Richards and the mentioned players are and that being He is simply not good enough.
