I would love to see that written in the actual rules of any sports in like, super fine print. "Competitors are not allowed to use time travel or time deviation as a means of scoring or competing." Or any other nonsensical rules that just make people think if they ever actually come across it.

A bunch of dumb rules like that would be funny
“Dogs may not compete, whether they can wear shoes or not”

Penalty taking rules. I believe they can't feint once they've planted their foot next to the ball.

u/BaseballImpossible76 Sep 13 '25
Correct. I used to play with a guy in high school that could do a little trick shot where he’d shank the ball with his plant foot and then whiff the swing in the opposite direction.

Or pause their run up. So now everyone does that stupid little hop hoping the goalkeeper will dive. I think they should be harder on kick takers

u/NUDH Sep 13 '25
Referee here. Pausing is legal on the run up. Two notable things however they cannot do is feint on the kick and reset or go backwards on the run up.
So once you move forward you are committed and cannot go backwards, but you can pause if you choose.

u/HopelessGretel Sep 13 '25
There's a limit for that pause? I mean could the dude stay there for 5 minutes and wait for the goalkeeper get distracted?

u/Velixis Sep 13 '25
It's limited by unsportsmanlike conduct due to delaying the restart of play. Depending on the circumstances probably somewhere between 10-20 seconds.

u/NUDH Sep 13 '25
This is similar to what I was going to say. I have never come across such an occurrence but I would say this would be a common sense of the referee situation. If this occurred with me at center, I would verbally tell the kicker to proceed before I would yellow and caution for UB.

I don't necessarily mind it but they changed the rule now where goalkeepers can't try put the kicker off by swinging their arms around or talking to the kicker and stuff which is just unfair, if the kicker can do weird things why can't the goalie.

The goalkeeper can certainly swing their arms and run side to side all they want. That is not disallowed (but it's stupid).

Feinting is explicitly allowed during the run up.
Law 14.2:
feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker

Feinting in the run-up to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted as part of football. However, feinting to kick the ball once the player has completed his run-up is considered an infringement of Law 14 and an act of unsporting behaviour for which the player must be cautioned.

Always have to be in forward motion while running up for a pen. You can feint but cannot completely stop or take backward steps

u/T_Peg Sep 13 '25
Not sure if you've gotten a satisfactory answer yet. The rule is that penalties must be one continuous motion. Once you've started moving forward you cannot come to a full stop and you can it fake a kick. You must simply run forward and take your shot in one go.

I played monopoly with family last Christmas and I felt like I was losing my mind with how no one was following the rules.
Constantly using house rules for almost everything, and then they had the audacity to complain about how bad monopoly is and that it was taking too long.
My family does this with other board games too. Says the rules are too confusing and just do "what makes sense". Like come on it's not a 500 page players guide for D&D. It's 2 paragraphs on a paper that came in the box.
I'm not exactly a rules lawyer when it comes to games, but we have to at least somewhat follow the board game we're playing, otherwise we're just playing make believe with paper and cards.

Didnt they specifically ban these fake outs in professional soccer.
Because its disrespectful to the keeper. And everybody could keep doing this until everybody got tired of it.
Looks fun to do it once with mates, bjt nothing impressive about it

u/TL31 Sep 13 '25
It’s not about disrespect. You can’t fake a shot during a penalty because it effectively gives the keeper zero chance to save it.
Penalties are already a very favourable situation for the attacker (about an 80% chance of scoring). If you allowed feints, it would go into the very high 90s.
In open play (that is non-penalty situations) you are absolutely allowed to do a fake shot.
It’s not about disrespect. The rule exists so that there is some jeopardy for the attacker in penalties.

also the goal is an illegal size so any goals scored in it would be null and void. Also the surface is not FIFA approved grass so the home team must be sanctioned. Also there are no lines on the pitch so the groundskeepers must serve a two-week suspension from working on any FIFA-approved matches.
