Title: You are the Ref!
Post by: Mallorca Alty on August 28, 2007, 03:49:09 PM
This is a situation that happened in a game I reffed recently.
 
A player from the white team is fouled just outside the opponents penalty area.
As the player is on the ground injured from the foul his team-mate takes a quick free-kick, passes to another team-mate who scores a goal,
while the players of the red team are looking at the injured player to see if he is aright.

What action do you take?

You need the refs permission to take a free kick, usually a whistle blow, however the ref should come over to the free kick taker and offer you a quick free kick, if not you can ask for one, and as such the ref doesn't have to blow the whistle.

Why exactly did the red team go and look at the injured player, he's not on their team, they are not doctors?

The injured player was holding his head, but not until, in my opinion, after the goal was scored. The player didn't ask for permission to take the free-kick. He took it straightaway.  I awarded a goal because I didn't want to punish the quick thinking of the player and the foul, in my opinion,  was punished properly.

If Sedge would have been taking the free kick, I would have awarded a goal.
If Lewis had taken it, I would have given a free kick to Alty.
Is that a reasoned response?  ;)
