Imagine fast acting glue, and a goalkeeper glued the ball to his crossbar. The ball wouldn't be able to be accessed by any outfield players legally , therefore ending the game in a draw.
What would happen if a goalkeeper glued the ball to the crossbar?

The season needs to start quick
One should not drink and post.
Asking the real questions.
Probably the biggest issue in sport today to be fair!
Opposition player would make a foul to restart the game and the ball gets back into play (with clock stopped whilst they work out why it was glued to the crossbar).

What if the goalie demolished the goal so that the opponents couldn't score?
What if every time the ball was up the other end of the pitch the goalie and a couple of defenders grabbed some tools and started digging up the pitch, piling up an earth mound in front of the goal, thus making it impossible to score?
What if strikers hid in underground bunkers, and popped up out of nowhere after the ball was kicked forward to circumvent the offside law? VAR wouldn't be able to catch them either as they wouldn't be on camera when the pass was played.

More interesting would be to glue his gloves during the game without him knowing it and than watch him trying to kick it out
I ain't saying she's a goal digger...
This reminds me of that thread about 'what if when United go 1-0 up, De Gea just bounces the ball off Fellaini's head for the rest of the game', complete with sketches and drawings to help visualise his ideas 
What stops the GK shoving the ball up his defenders shirt or down their shorts?
The defender could then run around with the ball tucked away and nobody would be able to get it without fouling him

Something we all ponder from time to time.

Fellaini would just head it home with a little hop. Selling him has always been a mistake.
Actually just remembered something, saw a video about rule changes in sport a while back. There was some ice hockey manager in the past who came up with a number of weird and whacky ideas on the basis that if it wasn't specifically outlawed in the rulebook then you could do it.
Refs didn't know what to do and they had to constantly re-write the rules - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Neilson#Coaching_legacy
Master troll.

I suppose glue would fall under unauthorized equipment.

What if all the players on one team surround the ball in a circle, then collectively just move towards the other team's goal until the ball crosses the line?
Obstruction.
I don't really care what people say. The stadium speakers would play Like Glue by Sean Paul.
Good idea
No. 3
116 charges.
should go in the redcafe memes thread though.This is definitely a thread highlighting the perils of glue abuse, just not in the way described in the OP.
Surely someone would just handball it. Then a free-kick would be awarded and the ball would have to be removed from the crossbar, thus thwarting the goalkeepers cunning plan.
I think the real question is what would happen if someone glued the ball to an irate moose covered in wasps? A moose that was trained to never leave the field of play, so you couldn't just use a different ball because then there'd be two balls in play (plus the nagging issue of a massively-pissed off moose, and a bunch of wasps).

Classic goran thread. Let's see how robocop responds.
I think my physics teacher used to say its impossible because of earth gravy pulling the ball down or summat
What if throw-ins were replaced by sidekicks? (freekick from the sideline)
What if the goalkeeper never was allowed to pick up the ball from the ground or from headers home?
What if the no offside was moved from half-way line to a 1/4 and a 3/4 line?

Lets not have goalkeeper and offiside rule at all. Footballl a la basketball.
Onana would sniff the glue and throw the ball into his own net.
That is obstruction, warranting in an indirect free kick to the opposition.
I’d imagine it would be a pretty sticky situation.
Now I want to know what the correct responses are!No. 3
3 match ban for Casemiro
My guesses...
1 - Drop ball at the location they went out of bounds. I know drop balls today are given to one team, but maybe this was written prior?
2 - The AR is there to advise the center ref. Therefore, I assume the center uses his best judgment. If it's obvious, it's off.
3 - This is similar to a defender juggling the ball from his feet up to his head and heading it back to his keeper. It's not allowed. Indirect kick for the other team.
Outfield players should glue it to their boots, like they did in the old days.
Was just thinking of this one.
already a classic thread. Kudos.
