itzdrk Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 No! Gimmicky and doesn't add anything to the game that proper enforcement of the laws can't. The game has been tainted enough without bringing this into it. Bin this nonsense now! Got to love ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Not really. Is there a major problem in Scotland with players encroaching at free kicks? I'd welcome it's introduction about as much as I did those fucking Vuvuzelas. It's an unnecessary gimmick. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 This'll bring back the crowds. It's what the game's been missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Can it be used for throw ins? My pet hate is referees telling players to go back for throw ins three times, then totalling ignoring continue to steal yards the 4th time. Usually happens against Airdrie.

HibeeJibee Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I don't suppose it would do any harm, unless the spray is ridiculously expensive or something like that, so why not... Not sure if it's been approved by IFAB or UEFA for widespread use yet - though I heard them saying during the World Cup coverage that it'll be used in the CL & EL next season, so presumably it'll be available soon if not already. However - I'm not sure it will actually make the difference that people expect. We've already seen during the World Cup that players are getting wise to it. Where they'd stand diligently behind the line in week 1 they now edge forward and trample over it. Many then encroach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 No need for it. Most Scottish Championship players couldn't roll the ball into an empty net from 25 yards let alone bend a free kick round a wall 10 yards away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galajambo Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 This was used yesterday as a trial at the Gala/East Fife game. The ref marked the ten yards for a Gala free kick and the Fifers ran off the park thinking it was soap. As a Gala man living in Fife, that tickled me!

tamthebam Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I think that if any player argued with a ref's decision the ref could draw a big cock on the guy's shirt with vanishing foam. It wouldn't last long but the player could get the message. Vanishing foam could also be handy to use to write the name of the Hibs manager on the office door at Easter Road.....

Nightmare Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Definitely would like to see it introduced here. It's simple yet brilliant. Don't know why it's not been thought of before now. One of the few things fifa have done that seems to be greeted with mass approval. It's a CONMEBOL thing, rather than FIFA. FIFA have adopted it for the World Cup because of the location, but it's very much been an exclusive to CONMEBOL tournaments for the past decade or so. Wouldn't want those horrible c***s at FIFA getting any undeserved credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdawg Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It would be nice to get a player who could actually take a free kick at this level and not just blast it into the wall/over the bar rather than some foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 There's no actual good reason for it not to be used. Those suggesting encroaching isn't a problem are kidding themselves btw. Lets say it's not a big problem though. Even once is too many. I just can't see why it shouldn't be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yup think it's a simple but extremely effective away of preventing cheating.There is another effective method. Simply book players who advance forwars from the wall. They will soon get the message. The foam is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
