If you stop play to caution a player for dissent where do you restart from? is it from where the offence occurred or form where the ball was when you stopped play. If it is the former, what about if the player you are cautioning is a substitute or substituted player and the offence happened of the field of play

If it is a player on the pitch it is from where he was when he fired the dissent from you.

If it is a player off the pitch (sub etc) you would be better waiting for a break in play, but if you must caution that very second it is a drop ball from the position of the ball I believe. Not able to access LOTG to double check so may be wrong with this second bit.

Got a LOTG by my desk - you're right SM! Obviously!

Thanks for that guys. I had to caution a GK for dissent last week and it looks like I chose the correct spot for a restart
 
Lol in his own penalty area?
yes.

After catching the ball in open play, he kicked he tried to kick the ball up-field but unfortunately (for him) it hit the back of the attacker who had not had enough time to retreat from him. Anyway the GK was screaming on top of his voice at me even though i was 40 yards from him for not
