Using a teammate to jump

[bester]

Answer implies you can give an indirect free kick without a caution? What for?

Unsporting behaviour. That's been so for a long time.
As an aside, the extreme example was initially put forward of a goalkeeper catching a cross, stuffing the ball up a team-mate's shirt, and the team-mate getting a piggyback from another team-mate to the other end and running into the opponents' goal.
Quizzes were different in those days

A question for IFAB. It implies IFK is a must but caution is optional (IF co considered USB). If it not considered USB, what is the IFK for?

 

[socal lurker]

I hate some of these answers from IFAB. Every Lw exam I’ve ever seen would say that this has to be a caution as there is no offense other than USB. Yet IFAB says it is an IFK and maybe a caution. OK, but if they are going to say it’s an IFK, it sure would be nice if they would give a reason from the Laws instead of just giving a conclusory answer like this. (Or, perhaps this is one of those questions that will get revised.)

Are they perhaps suggesting that the FK offence is PIADM (i.e. an opponent can't reasonably challenge during these kinds of acrobatics for fear of injuring one of the attackers).

Who knows. But there are not any facts given to say there was an opponent nearby.

(Thinking back, I think in the way back this was actually an example of USB in the magic book. Maybe in the days of the Q&A?)

From the 1996 LOTG:
"(2) If a player leans on the shoulders of another player of his own team in order to head the ball, the referee shall stop the game, caution the player for ungentlemanly conduct and
award an indirect free-kick to the opposing side"

My first ever LOAF. Still got a copy of that in the loft/garage, lovingly presented by Albert Astbury, Colin Miles and/or Brian Butler. Good times!
