How Did The FA Help Football Develop In The UK?
-
First Rules By The FA
The rules that were set were to keep the game fair and so that the teams could compete with it having no rules -
offside rule
this rule would become the most required of the rules as prior to the rule players could just stand at the goal and tap the ball in the goal which led to a boring game where it would just go back and forth -
Introduction of the specific position of goalkeeper.
this enabled teams to not concede after every shot, and meant that games were more competitive as you needed to play well to score past the keeper. -
The FA Cup
the FA cup enabled teams from all over england from all different divisions of football leagues. -
penatly kick rule
the penalty rule meant that players being fouled by the goal would be rewarded for their effort getting into the box for a shooting opportunity. -
Wembley Stadium (The Twin Towers)
This stadium really helped develop football in england as fans football would unite as a collective group of football fans from different regions of england, this helped boost the popularity of football -
substitutions introduced
this helped teams when players would become injured or tired, players could then come on in place of another player. this meant the game could stay fresh and also the fresh players could add a new dynamic to the game. -
red and yellow card
the introduction of the cards meant that players could be penalised for foul play and also be removed for going over the top. -
Pass back rule
this rule changed how the game took place as it was then much quicker, as a defender passes the ball back to the goalkeeper, the keeper now has to rush and get it away from his goal, this creates as much more interesting skeptical.
