Question Number: 23746

Walt Heatherly of Hendersonville , TN USA asks...

This question is a follow up to question 23725

What is the 'Disappearing Referee Spray?'

Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol

It is an aeresol container of a foam-paint substance. The referee sprays the location of the free kick, and a 10-yard line where the defenders must retreat. It is seen in games in Brazil and some other places. Almost every free kick is ceremonial. Soon after the kick has been taken, the line fades away.

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Walt
It is like the 'magic' red card that referees have that makes misbehaving players disappear. It is a spray that when applied to referees makes them disappear. Could not resist it.
Anyway Referee Voshol has given the correct answer and its not a good idea IMO.
