New FA rule to be introduced
Following the successful first trial of the new rule "Liverpool goalie when needed" in the 2001 FA Cup Final, the Charity Shield saw its first competitive use in the 2001-2002 season and once again it passed the test with flying colours.
The "Liverpool goalie when needed rule" allows any Liverpool player to handle the ball inside the penalty area in the same way that a normal goalkeeper can, which should ensure that Liverpool concede fewer goals when under pressure from SUPERIOR opposition. First mooted as a way of trying to ensure that an inadequate Liverpool team might actually win a trophy, the FA have been vindicated with Liverpool now having two trophies directly attributable to the "goalie when needed" rule.
An FA spokesman said "It was the only way we could envisage Liverpool ever winning anything. They used to be such a great side, and we felt sorry for them."
Gerard Houllier said "I am very pleased with the way Stephane Henchoz has adapted to the new 'Liverpool goalie when needed' rule. His two crucial saves in the cup final last season showed his early promise, and his extra pre-season training with our goalkeeper coach was fully vindicated with two splendid saves today. We fully deserved to win the game with the safe handling of Westerveld and
Henchoz."
Sven-Goran Eriksson, who was watching the match, is following events closely. He has already considered Jamie Carragher for that difficult England left back position, and with FIFA being petitioned by the FA to introduce a similar new rule to govern England v Germany games, it is possible that his Liverpool experience may
count in his favour.

If this doesn't win film a day i will complain to SR.
Hehe, very good.
It's good to see the F.A. looking at playground football and realising that Jackpot goalie is the way to go, especially now that a number of goalkeepers have already adopted the 'Rush goalie' tactic from the school fields and some are using it very successfully in their games.
It was only a matter of time before this rule was introduced, so you have to ask yourself what will be next?
My vote is for both captains playing 'Top foot' and then picking up sides before each game. Then the unfair advantage of some teams being better than others will be negated leaving the referee, the man that should decide who wins to really come into his own.

Suppose they gotta equal out the balance of power somehow. It would get really boring if man utd won everything all the time wouldnt it....;-)
This is great idea.
I believe it's being introduced to counter the "Man U always get an extra 5 minutes if they're losing" rule which was introduced a few seasons ago.
