A couple of “technicalities” from my game today that I’d like your thoughts on.
1. DFK just outside box. As taker shapes to strike the ball, a defender in the wall shouts to distract the kicker. So yellow card for the “shouter”, but what’s the re-start? IDFK? I let the play develop a little from the original free kick (I.e.tried playing advantage) but when nothing came of it brought it back for IDFK. Just doesn’t “look” right - defender commits an offence, and attackers free kick goes from direct to indirect. (With hindsight, I’ve realised the IDFK should(?)be taken from where the wall was - I.e 10 yards closer to the goal - not (as I did) where the original free kick was.)
2. Red throw in, just in their (defensive) half. Thrower shapes to take throw from other half. Whistle, & Verbally tell him to go back into his own half (all very public, no one disputing were the throw should be). Thrower acknowledges and goes back into his own half. Then proceeds to run 5+ yards into opposition half and takes throw. Blow whistle, award throw other way (to blues). Moments doubt in my head - should blues take the throw where the original throw was supposed to be taken from, or from where red took the throw. I went with the latter, but now think I’m wrong. (No big deal, blues were happy that I’d penalised red and given them the throw.)
Any thoughts on either of the above appreciated.
