Just a bit of fun
As far as I know pitches are all marked out in imperial measurements.
For free kicks, we all know that the defender has to stand a minimum of 10 yards away from the ball, so, I assume that continental refs need to measure out 9.14 metres or the penalty area should be 16.4592 metres
with the 6 yard box 5.4864 metres.
With all these mental calculations to perform, it's hardly surprising the ref in the recent Ireland match couldn't tell the difference between the ball hitting a player on the back and handball.
