4. The concept of Fair Play originated in Victorian England.
5. The simple aim of any sport is to provide both participants and spectators with fun, enjoyment and pleasure.
6. The idea of referees was first introduced in 1871 in England. They were introduced as a method of effective control.
7. The statement 'a fair spectator must remain impartial' is not strictly true since spectators (fans) always tend to support one team over any others. Even if their team is not playing, spectators tend to favour one since the game may affect their preferred team's standing.
8. Other ways of improving the standard of fair play include heavier penalties for those that disobey the rules. This could possibly include penalty kicks, more red cards or heavier fines.
