This happened a couple weeks ago in my first game.
Ball was kicked up into the air, as it went up player shouted it was flat. It came down and clearly was flat so i blew the whistle to stop play.
Home team manager instantly says we'll pass it back to them (the away team were on the ball) so i restarted with the home team passing it back.
I thought the restart was a drop ball but since the manager said to pass it back i continued. Did I do the right or wrong thing? (It was U13)
Also, similar question because its a similar situation (however unlikely it may be). The striker is one on one with the keeper, he strikes it in the penalty area and as he does so the ball bursts - what is the correct restart?
