maybe they have a 3d printer? i know a few who do this and sell them

Where and how are you able to get these? Interested

In my experience it's only ever been in youth football has a wall been requested which I simply say if you want a wall you need to set it up but I'm not stopping play

you managed to get a link? if not let me know. been away for a while in the States

We had a friendly at the weekend with 2 step 5 teams but the Ref was a EFL Ref who would neither need to use or would be trained to use Sin Bins so guess what....... no sin bins its a friendly! if anyone oversteps the mark he'd just tell the manager to sub the player.

Who told you that? I have been unable to attend a brief so emailed the FA who sent me a link to online training. You get a nice certificate at the end so again I emailed the FA to see where this goes and the response was nowhere needs it.

When the ball is played, simple. Your forgetting your role as a referee to tell the attacker to retreat as you would at a free kick.

Just don’t get too hung up on it. You know the rule so referee it.

I cant't believe how much debate this is causing, it's very simple, think of a goal kick as a free kick, think of 10 yards as being the penalty area. Now if a opposition player tries to stop a quick free kick or goal kick it gets retaken! Now if an opposition player purposely stands over a goal...
