How to keep up to date with the game if you can’t make the match?

If you really love your team it can be annoying and frustrating to miss a match. Maybe you were unable to get tickets or it’s simply too far away to travel. It’s not too bad if you support a major team like Manchester United or Liverpool because chances are that the match will be televised. So you can either watch this at home or down the pub with your mates without too much hassle at all.

If however you like a smaller or a more local team then it is often the case that these are not shown on TV and you are left in the dark on how your team is doing.

It is worth seeing if any of your local radio stations or football radio stations are playing the match. It’s not the same as being there in the flesh but at least you can hear the match as and when it happens so you are completely up to date with what is happening.

If you can’t do this or no radio stations are broadcasting it then you can keep up to date online. Plenty of websites have live up to the minute updates. Usually the pages are on auto refresh and will tell you who scored, when they scored, up to date scores and any other significant match news. It’s not ideal as all of us would much rather be there watching the match however it at least keeps us in the loop as to what is happening.

When it comes to major football events tickets can sell out quickly. Like any major sport or music event there are only limited amounts of seats and if a popular event comes up then getting tickets can seem a real struggle.

A great tip is to make sure you know where you are going to by from (IE ticket master) and get yourself sorted before tickets go on sale. This means making sure you have an account, you know your password and you are logged in. After all once the ticket rush is under way, you don’t want to be worrying about getting firefox loaded and getting logged in.

If you are unsuccessful in buying tickets when they come on sale then there are other retailers that sell off the tickets at a premium. You should be wary of these as sometimes as tickets can be blocked to a certain name and you might need ID to get into the match. This is particularly the case for international games. Also be aware that some people online make fake tickets. This means you could part with your money and actually end up with little more than a worthless piece of paper.

Read reviews and other people’s experiences online before you decide who you are going to buy your tickets from. This way you can know whether people have had generally positive experiences or actually been ‘ripped off’ and this will let you know whether you should buy from that particular website/online ticket retailer or not.

If you are thinking of putting on a football bet then the likelihood is that you will bet on your favourite team to win. This is usually more down to a sense of loyalty rather than confidence in your team. However betting this way won’t always win you any money. After all not every single team can win

Of course betting is a gamble, there is no exact science. After all if there were then we would all be rich by now. There is no real better system and definitely no dead certs when it comes to who will score the most goals.

What you really need to look at before you place any amount of money on a team is the long term results. After all any team can get lucky and win a match or two, this doesn’t make them champions. Look at their long term performance rather than over the last 2 months. Do they usually play better in the winter or the summer? Is there a player that’s left recently? Look for trends and patterns in their scoring. You will find them & once you have done this you will have a better indication of when to and when not to place a bet. Betting on football is a fun and exciting way to spend an afternoon. However you should always be aware of the amount you are betting and not go over board. Only ever bet what you can afford to lose and keep track of your winnings and losings so you know exactly where you stand.

The official rules of football are called the Laws of the Game. These are published by FIFA but are maintained by International Football Association (IFA) Board. Any one playing football on any level must adhere to the 17 laws, although certain modifications can be made. These are normally for players with a disability, elderly or junior players or for team made up of women.

The Law of the Game was created by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, on the 8th December 1863 at a meeting on the football association.

A meeting is then held every year so that any modifications or changes can be made. The meeting is normally held in the winter so any changes that are made can be ready for 1st July. Fifa and IFA have 4 representatives each and a total of six votes must be made before any changes can take place. This means that no change can be made by FIFA alone or without FIFA’s input.

If you are new to football there are a lot of rules and regulations to keep in mind. However many of these are easy to follow and just common sense. For example you can’t pick up the ball in your hands and run with it…

There are referee’s and referee’s assistance present at the game to make sure that the rules are followed and the match is played fairly from both sides. The referee has the final decision on what is right and what isn’t.

If rules are broken then punishments are put in place – yellow cards, red cards, corner kicks, free kicks and penalties for example.
