HISTORICAL FACTS: Former nottingham forest man backs arsene wenger intervention | History Defined

Former Nottingham Forest defender Gregor Robertson believes that Arsene Wenger's proposal to replace throw-ins with kick-ins could have a positive impact on football.

The International FA Board (IFAB) has agreed to trial kick-ins as part of an attempt to speed up the game. Football's lawmakers will allow tests to take place after the former Arsenal boss and current head of global football development for FIFA suggested that players should have up to five seconds to kick the ball rather than throw it.

The trial is expected to take place in English amateur football next season. IFAB have also agreed to allow the trialling of body cams for referees in grassroots football to deter on-field assaults, which was proposed by the Football Association.
