The Ref Stop
It’s hard because I suppose until 5/6 years ago this wasn’t an issue as the ball would obviously have had to leave the area first. So it is a relatively new phenomenon that IFAB haven’t quite decided what should happen.

By the letter of the law, I think it should be a penalty. ‘The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moved’, which it did.

Different scenario but would you stop play if this happened at a free kick? A corner kick? I think you have to give a penalty.
