Fifa scraps 10-yard dissent rule
Premiership referees' chief Keith Hackett has expressed his regret at Fifa scrapping the '10-yard' rule.
The rule, which moves play 10-yards towards the offending team's goal if players show dissent, has been used in English football for four seasons.
"It is a disappointing decision because while the law was not used a lot, it did have an impact on the behaviour of players," said Hackett.
"The referees over here found it acted as a deterrent."
He added: The problem, as I understand it, is the countries who do not have any familiarity with the concept couldn't get their heads around the process."
i thought the rule was quite scuccessul
it's one of these rules where you don't actually see it working - but if u take it away we will see how much of a difference it will make

Wasnt the worst rule in the book. They need to scrap the rule were a player has to leave the field even for a second if they get a head injury.

It was a top rule. If someones going to act like a prick then the referee should be able to give the other team a better chance of scoring. Fucking thick Johnny foreigner cunts.
Feel the same on the head injury malarkey though.
