How to measure 10 yards
Sebastian Stockbridge was the referee at Doncaster v Oxford yesterday --he certainly didn't endear himself to the Oxford contingent!

Re: How to measure 10 yards
There are some things that a referee should be able to do with no problems whatsoever - that's either appalling or he's about 8ft tall with a long stride.

I reckon he is looking for a spot on 'What happened next' on A Question of Sport

Should be sacked to be honest. P*** poor at any level.

Re: How to measure 10 yards
Perfectly plausible that his stride is 1.25 yards. I’ve seen loads of referees take 9 steps to measure 10 yards, this one takes 8. Pretty sure all professional referees will know how many of their steps make up 10 yards.

Re: How to measure 10 yards
Yeah but it's still clearly not 10 yards no matter how long his strides are.

Re: How to measure 10 yards
No way was that step bigger than a yard however.

Re: How to measure 10 yards
Should be able to measure it with VAR. that would stop any controversy ..
Re: How to measure 10 yards
Given that the defence had to step forward a distance, 7 truly was 7....or less, as they were not very long strides either!
It verifies my thoughts on refs - at best 7/10!

He would probably reverse the decision and give offside!conyoviejo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 6:48 pmShould be able to measure it with VAR. that would stop any controversy ..

Re: How to measure 10 yards
10 yards = 9.14m
Say the average player is 1.82m (and they won't be), you wouldn't get 5 of them lying down between the ball and the line would you.

Re: How to measure 10 yards
Hard to be sure. The distance from the edge of the box to the furthest point of the D is 4 yards. Therefore the ball appears to be approximately 12 yards outside of the box and 30 yards from goal. The wall should therefore be stood 2 yards outside the box. They’re stood 1 yard out so looking at the picture I wouldn’t say it’s unreasonable to say that the ball is 29 yards from goal.tarkys_ears wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 6:45 pmYeah but it's still clearly not 10 yards no matter how long his strides are.
