Leikd\u00f3marar eru ekki t\u00e6kjab\u00fana\u00f0ur. \u00deeir eru menn. Og \u00fea\u00f0 er \u00fear sem allt fer \u00e1 sig.<\/p>\n
\u00c1 hverjum g\u00f6mlu f\u00f3tboltavellinum \u00e1 \u00cdslandi sitja \u00fe\u00fasundir sem halda \u00fev\u00ed fram a\u00f0 d\u00f3marinn s\u00e9 blindur, h\u00e6gur, e\u00f0a beggir. En hvernig \u00e1 leikd\u00f3marinn \u00ed raun og veru a\u00f0 vi\u00f0halda r\u00e9ttl\u00e6ti \u00feegar allt gengur svo hratt? Sta\u00f0an er \u00feessi: hann ver\u00f0ur a\u00f0 taka \u00e1kvar\u00f0anir \u00e1 sek\u00fandum sem hafa \u00e1hrif \u00e1 heilan leikinn.<\/p>\n
Sj\u00e1lfs\u00f6g\u00f0u hefur d\u00f3marinn ekki alls sta\u00f0ar samt\u00edmis. \u00dea\u00f0 er einfaldlega \u00f3m\u00f6gulegt. Hann stendur \u00e1 vellinum og reynir a\u00f0 fylgjast me\u00f0 \u00fev\u00ed sem gerist, en jafnframt vakta hinn d\u00f3marinn, hli\u00f0- og hornal\u00ednud\u00f3mararnir. \u00dea\u00f0 sem vi\u00f0 sj\u00e1um \u00e1 \u00fev\u00ed g\u00f3\u00f0a myndbandinu \u00e1 samf\u00e9lagsmi\u00f0lum er ekki \u00fea\u00f0 sem d\u00f3marinn s\u00e1.<\/p>\n
Og h\u00e9r kemur inn t\u00e6knin. VAR hefur breytt leikunum \u2013 ekki endilega til hins betra, en breytt \u00feau hvort sem er. En jafnvel me\u00f0 t\u00e6knina \u00fearf \u00fe\u00f6rf \u00e1 d\u00f3mara sem skilur leikinn, ekki bara reglurnar.<\/p>\n
Sn\u00f6ggheit. Sj\u00e1lfstraust. \u00deekking \u00e1 reglum \u2013 j\u00e1, au\u00f0vita\u00f0. En fyrst og fremst: sta\u00f0setning. G\u00f3\u00f0ur d\u00f3marinn er \u00e1 r\u00e9ttum sta\u00f0 \u00e1 r\u00e9ttum t\u00edma. \u00dea\u00f0 stafar af \u00e6fingu, reynslu og \u00fev\u00ed a\u00f0 hugsa einn skref fram \u00ed t\u00edmann.<\/p>\n
A\u00f0 vi\u00f0halda r\u00e9ttl\u00e6ti \u00fe\u00fd\u00f0ir ekki a\u00f0 kalla hvern litla afl\u00e1t. \u00dea\u00f0 myndu gera leikinn a\u00f0 h\u00e6gri sveimi. \u00dea\u00f0 \u00fe\u00fd\u00f0ir a\u00f0 skilja muninn \u00e1 j\u00e1tandi \u00e1taki og h\u00e6ttulegum h\u00e1lsabili. \u00dea\u00f0 er list, ekki v\u00edsindi.<\/p>\n
J\u00e1, mist\u00f6k gerast. D\u00f3mara gerist rangt. En hvern einasta helgi eru \u00fe\u00fasundir og \u00fe\u00fasundir leikd\u00f3mara utan \u00feess a\u00f0 vera \u00feakkl\u00e1tir fyrir \u00fea\u00f0 a\u00f0 enginn s\u00e9 a\u00f0 hylja \u00e1 \u00feeim me\u00f0 steinag\u00falum.<\/p>\n
\u00dea\u00f0 sem skiptir m\u00e1li er \u00feetta: d\u00f3marinn ver\u00f0ur a\u00f0 standa fyrir s\u00ednum \u00e1kv\u00f6r\u00f0unum. Hann ver\u00f0ur a\u00f0 vera rei\u00f0ub\u00fainn til a\u00f0 \u00fatsk\u00fdra. Og hann ver\u00f0ur a\u00f0 l\u00e6ra af villum. Ekki a\u00f0 fl\u00faa \u00fe\u00e6r.<\/p>\n
