If you have to stop play to issue a sin bin, what is the correct restart? LOTG says IDFK but is it from where play was stopped or where the offence took place?

Or in the PA for DFK offencesAs a side note, they have made the laws consistent now for position of restart for offences being the location of the offence. With the exception of offence being outside the field of play or in the goal area.
So for all offences on fop the restart is at the location of the offending player?As a side note, they have made the laws consistent now for position of restart for offences being the location of the offence

So could that not be interpreted to mean that the IDFK is take from where the referee is stood if a play says something worthy of Dissent.From the point of the offence. Subtly different
For example, if an offender throws something then the restart is where the object strikes or would have struck an opponent.

The offence takes place in the same place except one is physical and one is verbal.
I hate the LOTG sometimes.
No. All verbal offences occur where the offender is as that is where the offence is being committed.
Maybe, using a physical offence wasn't the best

The offence was the gobbing off which took place from where the player was stood, not from where the ref heard/saw it.
Gobbing off, or thinking?I think my actual problem is I don't do enough of it![]()

The reason for stopping play is the dissent, which is an offence, so the restart is from the point where the dissent occurred.Do you have a link to this from the LOTG at all? I've been searching for it, but can't find it.
Some club have given me an awful mark because I did this in a game, and as I usually get on with them quite well, just wanted to send them the law.
It is a dead thread but the question deserves an answer. I think the question was the method of restart.Do you have a link to this from the LOTG at all? I've been searching for it, but can't find it.

One of my most enjoyable days in grassroots was the Sunday where a GK decided to scream dissent at me from his Penalty Area, whilst I was in the Centre Circle and his team were on a Promising Attack.
