How is the FA able to help fund these or help teams get into a position where three V three is ea- easy to facilitate?

Yeah.

Um, I might bring Ryan into this as well because he may have, uh, been part of the, the funding.

But yeah, there's, there's, there's a funding part of the Football Foundation where central venue leagues and clubs can apply to get some support towards, uh, the new goalposts.

Um, so that is currently live at the moment, and we encourage those, uh, leagues and clubs who are providing it to, to look at that on the Football Foundation website.

Um, there aren't any more additional requirements in terms of pitches.

So for example, you can use existing five V five pitch, what would have been used for seven V seven.

Uh, what... how do we combat that sort of behavior?

We're talking about what, what would be your response to anyone who's pushing back on there being no goalkeepers and, and what negative effect that might have on the development of goalkeepers?

Yeah, I mean, the first thing I would say is, um, this is not about deprioritizing goalkeeping.

Like, goalkeeping is obviously a skill in itself, but we believe that at a young age, you don't need to be a specialized goalkeeper to be a goalkeeper in the future.

When you look at the game behind us, there's all sorts of things that they're doing that goalkeepers would do.

They're having to look to block the goal.

They're having to use their body to stop goals going in, whether that's your legs, your body.

Uh, the only thing they can't use is their hands.

Okay.
