info Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 If the distance from the six yard box to the edge of the penalty box is 36 ft and a free kick is given 5ft outside the box how can a referee justify MAKING the defending team stand on the six yard line when the distance defenders legally have to retreat is 30 feet(10 yards) ? What am I missing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be taking this up with the governing body. Especially if you have footage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
