The Ref Stop

Law 5 Clarification

norfolkref said:
So had a game Friday night with my RAO in the middle again who was adamant it is only for players receiving treatment..... As advised on here I checked with my RDO who confirmed it's all stoppages in play barring the exceptions, as did IFAB although not sure it's as a "clear" as they've stated.

Interestingly also saw this clip from somewhere in Scotland where the law was applied correctly! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1GfEJZqTSV/

The clip is a beautiful example of why the law change was introduced in the first place.🥇.

Oh the irony. When they insist something is clear when it isn't, one can't be blamed to think that IFAB are the ones taking it personally 🙂😉

But this one is pretty clear. “ where an injury results in play being stopped OR the restart of play being delayed, the injured player must leave the field of play.” I mean, sure, it is in a messy sentence, but that “or” seems awfully clear to me that if play is stopped, the player goes off.

Quite frankly, and I’ve outgrown being helpful, balls to em. You’ll finish above ‘em on the merit table by being correct in law.

I couldn’t give a toss what LWR did. I’d rather be correct, actually. It’s LWR’s choice to be worse than me at the same job and I’ve no desire to end up on a FA training clip 😂

May well be. My reference was in the regards to the generic statement by James.

Just been watching the York v Crawley game. Player grounded for at least 10 seconds - no caution to the offender/no other exceptions in point - remained on the FoP & re-start delayed! Hopefully I missed something!
