Talk:Paralympic football

Incomprehensible sentence
I removed this "sentence" from the trivia section.

"For 7-a-side Paralympic football, England or Scotland wins the slot in the European Paralympic qualifier can represent UK in the Paralympics, without losing the individual Home Nations status in CPISRA (the governing body of 7-a-side Paralympic football), which unlike the case of the Home Nations FA's worried a unified UK team mean losing the individual status in FIFA."

It is written in a way that makes it incomprehensible. Perhaps someone who understands what it is meant to mean will edit it and put it back in the article.

I suspect the entire "trivia" section is getting into unnecessary detail. Wanderer57 (talk) 12:11, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

The goal
For five-a-side, how do players know where to goal is located? Does it beep or something, like the ball? Tad Lincoln (talk) 23:42, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know for certain, but I assume they can just infer the goal's position (as well as the pitch's boundaries) from tracking their own movements. Blind people are often very good at that. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 13:46, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * the guide stands behind the goal during play presumable shouting that the goal is there. and for penalties he taps the 4 corners of the goal so the kicker knows where it is.194.176.105.135 (talk) 12:50, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
