Confucius
Striker
He would have to have legitimate reason, not just some club official saying “ it’s not safe” and him replying within 10 seconds, “ aye ok”. Any potential pitch invasions would be obvious beforehand, any structural issues would be identified in advance, lack of police is neither relevant because it is the same for both sides nor is it fair on Rovers. The only issue that I see they can’t predict is the state of the penalty spot and we all know that wasnt the issue this time around.I think this part would get around it though;
'Unless there are other considerations (e.g. ground conditions, safety etc.), the referee tosses a coin to decide the goal at which the kicks will be taken which may only be changed for safety reasons or if the goal or playing surface becomes unusable
The end can even be changed after the first coin toss is my reading of that rule.
Again, I don't agree that it's fair at all.
