Funny that, Filo, if you go on twitter, the Oxford fans are moaning about him, too!
The reason they don’t tend to use the line is if there is a handball appeal there would argue whether it’s in or outside the box,we know the line would class as being inside if when jumping they come forward would it be classed as a penalty or encroachment,that’s why they are usually see them in by a yard or so or outside

I recently did the referee course and they advised not to use the penalty area line for the wall to make it clear, either a yard inside or a yard outside. As said above, if there is then any infringement, it’s clear that it’s either a free kick or a penalty.There were several scenarios throughout the course in a similar vein to this that they classed as sensible refereeing which is removing as much potential controversy as possible.Far more potential controversy with any handball on the penalty area line than whether the wall was only 9 yards back rather than 10

Yes but also if a player is shielding the ball within playing distance, a fair charge can be made - something fans often think is a push..
