Watching a bit of footie from the Pass Back days - I can't remember when the change happened but I've often wondered why sides didnt pass around more with 2 defenders and the keeper killing time off more - I imagfine the 2010-15 Swansaona side would have made a lot out of that.
Not sure if you could keep doing that kind of thing though and they were tedious enough as it was.

The Old Pass Back Rule on 15:27 - May 23 with 1154 views
It was when Jan stejskal joined us, which I think contribute to his difficult start given the new rule and his communication problems.
I recall (although I was quite young) that Liverpool always seemed to time waste when they were winning with a few minutes to go and could pass it back to grobelaar, to nicol, to Hansen, to grobelaar, to nicol, to Hansen, to grobelaar, to... (oh, grobelaar s messed it up again... 1-1).
...still remember Jan’s disaster against palace when they beat us 3-1. Same old rangers

We did it to perfection at the old Den circa 1987, 2nd leg of the league cup and 2-1 up from the home game, Fenwick and Seaman spent 90 minutes passing to each other, the natives were not happy, was happy to get home in one piece that night.
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL
We did this at Millwall in a league cup 2nd leg game after winning the first leg at home.
It was 80-odd minutes of boredom but Millwall didn’t seem to have the nous to stop it. Then with 10 mins or so to go they did and we had no choice to play it upfield and suddenly we had a game on our hands We saw the game out to go through but the local rags were scathing of our tactics without mentioning the fact that for most of the game Millwall were devoid of doing anything about it.
Edit: snap! Was typing mine as loftboy posted the same!

Spot on about Liverpool, and for more than a few minutes as well.
I love reminding Liverpool and Arsenal fans that they were renowned for negative football for decades.
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
As has been mentioned, it happened after the 1990 World Cup which was the absolute nadir of passing back to the keeper. I dread to think how many back passes went to the keepers in that dreadful quarter final between Argentina and Yugoslavia.
And as Brian says Liverpool were past masters at it. People often went on about Hansen and Lawrenson as a centre back pairing but it would have been interesting to see them play in the back pass era without the Grobbelaar saftey route they often used.

...as my earlier post, grobelaar was anything but safe. An absolute clown and a menace!... that Ray Wilkins FA goal in 89/90 for example. Even as a nine year old I knew he was a liability!

Heard an interview with Tony Dorigo recently and he was asked why Leeds went from winning the league in 1992 to not winning an away game the following season. His answer was the back pass rule which gives you an idea of how much it hurt some teams.
