What is the situation there? Because we're so used to seeing in the men's game now the requirement to have them due to the multi-ball system.
13:58
You know, there's a discussion ongoing at the minute in terms of this kind of dispute going on with a rule at the start of the season.
14:06
So, unlike obviously WSL and WSL2 in the professional game, it's mandatory to have multi-ball and have ball retrievers.
14:13
And similar into the EFL, ball goes out of play, you can get a ball back in.
14:17
it intensifies the game for me it improves the product of the game and also with these ifab rulings coming into play around the seven seconds with the goalkeeper and the 10 seconds with the substitute everything's to improve the intensity of the game and ultimately improve the product because it reduces time wasting however when you drop down the level There seems to be a few rulings that contradict.
14:40
So if a goalkeeper goes down now in Tier 3, you don't have to bring an opposition player off like you would in the EFL or in the WSL2, which I believe then contradicts the rulings that are in place around the 10-second sub and the 7-second from a goalkeeper.
14:54
The multi-ball is another one.
