Why oh why on earth don't the referees do there job properly in the first place, they allow players to creep forwards after stupidly pacing out 10 paces, also they allow the player taking the free kick to move the ball to where he feels he would like to take it, This also goes on with throwins, how many times does a throwin be taken from where the ball went out of play, the player taking the throwin will walk 4or 5 yards to his teams advantage, what happens the ref might just point for him to go back in the direction to where it should be taken, then the player will run or walk down the touch line to where he wants it to be taken, You do not see this happening in rugby games, because the referees are in charge of the games, in football the players try and mostly succeed to run the game to there own rules, this all adds up to piss poor officials in football, rugby referees are respected by the players and fans.
