Corner kicks & defending players yards

I had a game yesterday and the only problem I really came across was - at the corner kicks I would position myself at the back post because I was refing a game without AR's. The players would wait until I was in position (at back post) and then move to track their marked men making short options. The defending players were going too close to the ball (not giving 10Yards) and although most corners were played quick there were occasions where I didn't want to slow the game down to count out 10 yards at every corner after getting into position.

Ok, if the pattern develops that the corners are going short, alter your starting position and dont robotically head for the back post

Change your starting position to suit, and use two very important tools, your whistle and your mouth...

Even when that corner goes dead say for goal kick or so, catch the defender in passing and quietly say something like, mind your yards at the corners please?
