So I'm sat here waiting for my partner to get ready (I could be some time). On BT Sport is the big match revisited 1975. Its fascinating to see how football, and in particular refereeing has changed down the years. Currently Coventry are playing Arsenal and there's a corner kick. The ref is stood on the back post and the AR is stood where he usually would for a penalty (the corner is on his side). Just before this a goal was scored from 25 yards and the ref was inside the 6 yard box.
There's also the obvious rule changes to compare. The most obvious DOGSO pull back imaginable and it was only a yellow back then and Barry Davies (commentstor for ypu ypung uns) berating the player for unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Well worth 10 mins of any refs time just to see how things have changed.
