Return of Yermaw Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 To be used "ahead" of a roll out" at Dundee v Celtic. The SFA will be funding it's use at all levels of the professional game. So that's 8m or so after the WC and after other league's have been using it, the SFA are in a position to start to use it in Scotland. But it is essentially a pilot this weekend. What's the delay? Order a few thousand bottles and maybe some of those pointless belts - then what? Intensive training for the ref on how to apply it? 8m project delivery on this - it would be comical if it didn't perfectly encapsulate how the scottish game is governed.........

northernscum Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Heard this last night. Thank god the SFA are a governing body to be proud of and they never embarrass us by arseing around like dinosaurs! Even the most simple thing seems to be drawn out into a major issue by them.

J o h n Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Haha. I remember they were questioned about this a few months ago and said it was too expensive and not necessary. Glad they have finally seen sense after every other country in the world started using it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstevie007 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Ref should have enough about him to get them back without spray! Don't think it's so much about getting the players back, which any ref can do, as getting them to stay there. The white line provides an immediate reference point making it obvious if players have moved forward. The WC showed it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WC showed it works well. the number of times that refs don't push walls back the required distance is unbelievable. Refs don't seem to think it such a major issue to have a wall only 7 yards or so away from the ball............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
