I find it interesting that the number of defenders was reduced by one
some years ago ... the motivation was to give the attackers the upper
hand?  Now some time down the track, the FIH has decided that penalty
corners are far too dangerous weapons (especially at international level
with the likes of Fischer and Bovelander!) again!!!!


Perhaps we might see a reversal of this rule too?

Did anyone see Carsten Fischer's short corner against India ... he walked
nonchantly past the trapped ball into the circle, the ball was bunted in to
him, and he struck the rolling ball from close range.  That would frighten 
the s**t out of me ... lucky I don't stand on the line any more!

So changing the rule for the trap to be outside the circle may only reduce the 
range by one or two yards ... is it worthwhile (the FIH appears to think so)?

Bags me going back to the half-line!

Seriously, I think Steve's correct - especially in all but the international
standard of hockey, the propensity for more wild swings is raised by this
rule change ( ignoring Greg Corbitt's swing at the Egyptian full-back!)


|> What it the opinion of other rec.sport.hockey.field enthusiasts?

You've got it!

Just my $0.02 worth.

Last night I played in a game, Australian Institute of Sport vs
North Coast Raiders (Perth club team), which used the new FIH
penalty corner rule.  Briefly this requires that the ball must be
trapped outside the circle before a goal-shot can be taken.  From
last nights experience this rule limits the attacking teams capacity
to score penalty corner goals.  However as teams become more polished
with their skills and strategies defenders will need to adapt their
current style of defending penalty corners.

I am quite concerned that this rule will make penalty corners even
more dangerous than they currently are.  Since the obvious attacking
strategy is to trap the ball just outside the circle, and bunt or
push it inside the circle for some powerful brute to 'fly-hit' at goal.  
My concern is that this strategy will lead to more lifted and less
controlled shots at goal.  I am a little surprised that FIH Rules 
Committee have decided on this rule.  Yet I understand that it will
be implemented for the 1993 season.

What it the opinion of other rec.sport.hockey.field enthusiasts?

  I really over estimated the Indian side.
  I guess all that trumpeting of "complete hockey" was a farce.
  I am now really apprehensive of any Indian come back in Hockey.

Subject: Olympics' Prediction (Could be Wrong)
Date: 23 Jul 92 01:11:58 GMT
Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network


  My predictions for the Barcelona Olympics' Hockey competitions are:

  Gold : Germany
  Silver: Pakistan
  Bronze: India  

Germany:

Its not only a great team but the most consistent one as well. Germany has
won more number of "Champion's Trophy" than any other nation. Their recent
failure to grab the BMW trophy would only serve as a catalyst to improve.
Why? Well History tells that after any failure Germans always make a  
comeback and it is always mightier. They were the Semi-Finalist at Lahore
but for Barcelona they have kept few tricks that they didn't reveal in the
recent matches against Pakistan, India & Holland.


Pakistan:

Pakistan made a comeback to Hockey elites in the last World Cup when they
lost the final against Netherlands. They are great fighters and strong
opponents. Their recent performance have confirmed that they would atleast
be semifinalist in the Olympics. And in my opinion are good enough to take back
the title they lost at Seoul. Pakistan is however rather weak at Penalty Corner
Conversions. If they can overcome this deficiency they can be a much better
side.

P.S.: Watchout for Shahbaz Ahmed(sr.).


India:

After years of "great depression" the Indians have finally recuperated their
Hockey strength. They now play "complete Hockey" as their coach puts it.
Their current form and performances are really great. Most of all the
Indian players are pretty confident and the team morale is high. This is
the key to success. This Asian Giant is back. It is back by supplementing
its skills by some European tricks. Thats' what makes the present Indian
Hockey "the complete Hockey". Indian Captain Pargat Singh is IMHO the best
Hockey player today. He can a cool defender and an aggressive forward if
desired. I would definetely like to watch the (now finally composed) Indian
team play the complete Hockey. 

                                      
Other Teams:

Netherlands is a one man show. I doubt that other teams would now allow
them to repeat that unforgettable Bouvelander's onslaught. Could finish
number four.

Australia is a great team but perhaps the most unlucky ones. The former
World Champions play Asian Style Hockey thus their defence is quite
vulnerable. I am not aware of their recent form but Lady luck has seldom
smiled on this great team. Against Germans, Pakistanis and Indians ...
Sorry Aussies NO CHANCE!!

England knew they were no more  World beaters the day Ian Taylor left it.
No Chance at Barcelona for England.

Unified team has politically divided players. I don't expect any united 
performance from them.

Spain, Malaysia, Argentina and rest are only capable of few upsets. But
none would finish in the top four.

Comments welcome.

The match began with both teams trying to settle into a rythm and
there was no serious challenge in the first 10 min by either
team.  Kerly then broke through from the left and earned a free 
hit just outside the Indian D when he was checked but the hit 
wasn't taken properly. Shortly after that GB earned its 1st PC 
when an ineffective clearnace from the Indian rt. back saw GB 
take possession on top of the D, followed by a swift pass into 
the D and then a foul by one of the Indian players. The PC was 
converted by Hill when he sent in a strong flick into the middle 
of the net.  India counter-attacked and earned a PC but it was 
saved  by the GB goalkeeper. India earned a 2nd PC following a 
move b/w Jagbir Singh and Shakeel Ahmed on the lt. flank but 
could not capitalize on it. Just before half-time India earned a 
third PC but a poorly executed attempt to flick the ball in saw 
another opportunity go down. Half-time 1-0 to GB.

The second half started at a fast pace and once again Murgesh 
Kumar and Felix combined well on the rt. for Murgesh to send in a 
beautiful cross from the Gb baseline but none of the 3 forwards 
could take advantage of it. Two substitutions; one each by India 
and GB. Free hit on the left side near the GB D was taken by 
Pargat and Pillay connected but the shot was saved. Another move 
from the rt. won a long corner for India. Pargat's strong hit 
into the GB D was deflected off a GB player's stick and Felix 
quickly picked up the free ball and with a strong push sent it 
across into the left corner of the goal. 1-1. Kerly then broke 
through taking advantage of a defensive lapse but his shot missed 
the left post by inches. GB then reversed the pressure. The rt 
winger managed to get past the Indian backs and pass it to Kerly 
who deflected it into the far side of the goal as the GK came out 
to meet the GB forward. 2-1 to GB. Another burst from the rt 
flank for GB and the ball was passed to Thompson who was left 
unmarked and he swiftly put the ball into the roof of the goal. 
3-1 to GB and 8-10 min of play left. The Indians then missed 
another PC, their 4th. A 5th PC was awarded to India but with 
only 1 1/2 min remaining India had lost the match. The 5th PC led 
to another PC and that to yet another one but the hooter sounded 
before it could be taken. Final score GB 3, India 1.

    I guess you are wrong here. The scores of Netherlands are as follows

    Vs Unified Team 5-2
    Vs Spain        3-2
    Vs New Zealand  4-3
           Total   12-7  and not 11-6

    We are both wrong here. New Zealand actually played as,

    Vs Spain        0-3
    Vs Pakistan     0-1
    Vs Netherlands  3-4
            Total  3-8  and not 3-7 or 2-7.
