Premier League to introduce vanishing spray for new season

[TomandJerry]

"Vanishing spray will be introduced in the Premier League next season following its success at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Referees use the spray to indicate the position of free-kicks and the distance the defensive wall must retreat.

The Premier League had said it did not plan to introduce the spray until it had monitored it in other competitions.

But chief executive Richard Scudamore said the Premier League was "open to developments".

He explained: "It was clear from watching the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil that vanishing spray benefited referees, players, and all of those who watched the matches.

"Following consultation with our clubs and the Professional Game Match Officials Limited [the refereeing body], we have decided to introduce it in the Premier League and look forward to having it in place for the 2014-15 season."

Good.

 

[El Presidente]

I think it's already been sprayed all over St Mary's.

 

[Hyperion]

Can't see it myself

 

[Daffy Duck]

I wish they would spray it all over the Premiership so that it disappears.

 

[pasty]

Why only the Premier League?

 

[Bob!]

What about the football league?

 

[TomandJerry]

Imagine if a referee got a can of permanent spray paint mixed up with this invisible spray

 

[brakespear]

Won't do any good if the refs still let players stand 3 feet in front of the line.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Will it be sponsored by Gillette? As it's shaving foam, basically.

 

[Surf's Up]

Wow, that's really an innovative development!!! The Premier League is so brave!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

I am no expert but to do this correctly instead of a straight line,would'nt you have to arc to allow for angle of ball to defender ?

It's going to be used in the JPT games as well.

It will be, following a successful trial in the JPT!
I don't understand why the football league don't just roll it out now.
