Premier League to introduce vanishing spray for new season

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.

About time.  Should have used this years ago.

 

Is there any aspect of modern day football England and the FA are actually ahead of the times in?

Good. It looked silly at first, but I'm a convert. It stopped all that annoying 'ref's-not-looking' creep

What we need know is tear-off shirt parts with an auto-yellow for anyone found holding a piecetongue.png .

As long as it isn't used on humans. Brasil used this vanishing spray on their team at world cup semi final, and they certainly didn't appear to be anywhere on the pitch.

I agree it's good. It seems most people quickly got used to it and saw the benefits instantly.

 

Don't how long it will take to vanish on a wet day in Manchester though. The ref will be telling the players "quick, quick, take the bladdy free kick will you, my vanishing spray is......well vanishing" biggrin.png

oh and u watch, with the white line walls dont/ cant encroach , but what teams do is have players either side and wide of the wall but still forward and effectively nearer to the ball. refs, well certainly in the wc hadnt picked up on it. Edited by rijit

They've been using it in Argentina for years now and I don't remember rain causing a problem. They've probably got that sorted out by now.

quite, it's not like south america doesn't have any bloody rain. there was rain in brazil in the world cup and the magic spray managed fine.

 

incidentally phil neville kept calling it 'imaginary spray'. which was quite funny.

Grondona, his bag man, just bit the dust. Let's hope Sepp isn't far behind.
