brazil refs

they seem to carry a spray can with them and whenever there's a free kick they spray the ground to show where the ball is :huh:

could u see that happen in the prem?

I don't get it - why?

md49vd · October 26, 2012

its to stop people cheating apparently.

It's a great idea and I liked it when I saw it. Stops people moving free kicks and makes it easier to dish yellows out when walls walk about 5 yds forward

I thought they sprayed a line 10 yards away to show where the wall should be as well. Great idea and been around for a while I think so surely should be used everywhere.

I've seen this.

Don't they do it in rugby as well?

they would need to carry MACE at the San Giro the way stavie starfish and his gang surround them.

The refs in the MLS do this also, but as well as spraying where the ball, they also march 10 yards and spray where the wall should stand. Can't see why this isn't implemented in all leagues.

It's so simple, so fast and so effective.
