                    How do you grab hold of these without conceding a penalty?

            Very weird, it'll never catch on0

            Good thing it worked...
 Can already hear the chants of: "What the f**king hell was that" if it doesnt.5

            Never seen anything like it0

            I fancy Morris Dancing as a corner is being taken would fool the opposition more.4

            A variation on a Testudo might be worth trying 1 1

            Conga?0

            I can see not so ponsy variations being trialed though. Nightmare for markers to pick up players.0

            Would love to see Stockley, Innis, Pearce doing that5

 Pearce would be too rough and tumble, leading to Innis getting injured. Stockley would rip off his own shirt claiming a pen.O-Randy-Hunt said:Would love to see Stockley, Innis, Pearce doing that6

 They would run around in a circle, get dizzy and when they broke up probably all run into each other and get injured with our luck!O-Randy-Hunt said:Would love to see Stockley, Innis, Pearce doing that3

            Someone would sneeze and they would all fall down.0

            Corner is coming in from the cupboard end/east side.
 5 of our players are doing ring a ring o roses at the back post. 1 runs towards the tunnel, 2 run towards the dugouts, 1 runs towards the jimmy seed and the other falls over the advertising boards behind the goal.3

 And the ball itself doesnt even beat the first manO-Randy-Hunt said:Corner is coming in from the cupboard end/east side.

            Just create a defensive ‘chain’ around them.

 Potentially though that will leave the one or two strikers in the penalty box a lot more room to attack the ballpaulbaconsarnie said:Just create a defensive ‘chain’ around them.0

            I can see us trying the okey cokey2
- 
            Makes man to man marking quite difficult. Quite clever.2

            I've always wondered if a team could try lifting 1-2 players high up into the air (like they do in a rugby lineout) at a corner. Then get the corner taker to swing it in extra high.0

            Did watching that annoy anyone else more than it should've?3

 We do that already.Lincsaddick said:I can see us trying the okey cokey
 The ball's played in
 The ball's cleared out
 In, out, in, out
 Stockers shakes his fist about
 The free-kick hokey cokey
 What the f*** was that all about?4

            It's a bit like what England did at the 2018 World Cup.
 Besides, I think the high and righteous of the current media circus will say that doing 'ring a ring a roses' at football is uncaring during the pandemic.2

 And zonal because the attackers will get a better run on the ball with defenders trying to outjump them from more of a standing position. The other issue is that you will see defenders attempting to block runs but, especially with the scrutiny of VAR, there is an even greater chance of a penalty being given.MuttleyCAFC said:Makes man to man marking quite difficult.

 As they are the most innovative from free kicks, I reckon West Ham will be the first to try this or a form of it.0

            What about having a not so heavy player on a teammates shoulders?
 Or two, four?0

 This is actually listed under examples of unsporting behaviour, so would result in an indirect free kick to the opposing team and could also get the players involved booked.Chunes said:I've always wondered if a team could try lifting 1-2 players high up into the air (like they do in a rugby lineout) at a corner.

            Now we’re in vague territory.
 Unsporting behaviour.
 I imagine that is down to the referee.0
- 
            I think other clubs' players are guilty of unsporting behaviour when they score against us ...1
- 
            Wimbledon have already sent a strongly worded letter to the EFL about this unsportsmanlike behaviour2

            Don't knock Wimbledon, they have found a way not to catch Covid which is pretty impressive considering they are a small League One club!0
