Never mind who moved the goalposts ,what about who moved the dugouts?
We recently went up to Longford and was somewhat surprised with the childish attempt at gaining an advantage. The Longford bench/ dugout is on the halfway line whilst the visitors is in line with the 18 yard box.
Seemingly there is no rules on where the dugouts should be situated along the line. Maybe if Longford feel they gain from this, fair play to them. But in the sense of fair play it has to be wrong.
Whats the feeling from the Premier clubs to this and is there other grounds set up the same? Are there any other tricks being used to gain advantages?
