BBBH's PB

[Bob Neil]

Some dill lady rang 5AA sports talkback irate at BBBHs record equalling effort and asked the panel "Is there any limit to how many 50s can be given?"

To which Graham Cornes astutely pointed out "Only as many as will fit into the ground, where do you want the free kick to be taken from... in the car park behind the goals?"

I wondered the same thing actually, but the max is obviously the number of times 50 m fits between the goals. So ground dimensions need to be >200 m long to get four in, assuming the penalties start on the attacking goal line.
So not possible according to;
AFL Football Grounds
Subi the longest at 175m.

What about one from the centre, after the goal?

Wouln't just a free be paid first as the goal breaks the sequence? Then another infringement would have to occur for the next 50 to be paid?

Bazza, here's a challange. You can out-do that pretender, Fraser

Perhaps a bit like a bowler taking a hat trick in the last two balls of an over and the first of the next?

My understanding is that if an infringement occurs after a goal is kicked a free kick is given in the centre or where the act occured, which ever is closer to goal. Hence the rare "double goals" that have happened. I suppose it's infinite the amount of times such acts could be repeated, but eventually the siren sounds or the player is manhandled from the ground by his team-mates.
