referees's spray paint....

[bluemoonste]

Just watching Argentina vs Uruguay and the ref is carrying a tin of spray paint which he uses to mark free kicks and distances.

I might be missing something here ( 1st game watched in Copa ) but has this been done before ?

It seems to work tho' !!!

They've been using it a while in South America I believe.

It disappears after about 30 seconds or so, great idea.

Does he use a tape measure, as well, or just spray paint wherever he wants?

He just paces 10 yards between the ball and the defender.

Let me get this right... The ref's mooching around the pitch for 90 minutes, equipped with a can of shaving foam in his pocket?

Has he got a supply of Kleenex, in case of accidents?
