For example, opposing team awarded a direct free kick 25 yards out but the players would purposely commit an infringement in order to get the ball moved forward 10 yards as it was deemed harder for the player taking the free kick to score from closer in then where orginal free kick was awarded. That was my reading off it anyway
You would have thought that the easiest solution would have been to offer the team taking the free kick the option of whether to use the 10 yard gain or not.
