Had an incident in yesterday's game that had me wondering about the new drop ball rule if it hits the ref. Red team take a corner, its partly headed away by yellows and the ball falls to red player 10 yards outside the area. He slices a shot that flies 15 yards wide, but misses me by inches, goal kick. Now, if the ball had hit me and stayed in play, would I have had to give an uncontested drop ball to the reds inside the area, giving a huge advantage to the reds given the ball was obviously going for a goal kick.
