It was a short-lived experiment, never added into law.Thanks for your reply , it was a vets game and there are no yellow cards only red for violent conduct
Did this used to be the rule u could move the ball 10 yards forward
If it is sanctioned football, and in England, there are yellow cards. If it is unsanctioned football you shouldn't be doing it and could be charged and suspended for doing so.Thanks for your reply , it was a vets game and there are no yellow cards only red for violent conduct

It never became part of the laws but in 1998, the IFAB authorized the English FA to conduct experiments into doing this in Jersey. The following year, they authorized it to be trialled in some other competitions and on the mainland. The experiment was extended several times and in 2003 the IFAB said they were giving a final one year extension after which a proposal would be brought. There was no adoption of the amendment in 2004 and so the matter was evidently dropped.Thanks for your reply , it was a vets game and there are no yellow cards only red for violent conduct

I was AR at a game in London many years ago. Away team "wall" were being difficult at home team free kicks, not retreating, shuffling or running forward.In a game played as per LOTG, if you retake because of wall encroachment you MUST caution. I have seen many new refs retake because a wall player ran in and blocked a ball, but never cautioned the player.
Even though it will not be incorrect in law to caution all players who encroached, it will be a recipe for disaster. Pick one player which you think makes the easiest sell and gives you the best match control.
Loved it? YesI was AR at a game in London many years ago. Away team "wall" were being difficult at home team free kicks, not retreating, shuffling or running forward.
Direct free kick on centre of the arc; referee paced to the penalty mark. "Wall" became difficult again.
Ref moved the ball two yards further back. "OK now, guys?" "Yes, ref" "Stand still" Ref went behind the players in the wall, noted all 5 numbers, showed the yellow card to each, moved the ball back to the arc, and told the "wall" to move back.
Were they happy? No!
Effective? Yes!
