Bre v Ful

Unfortunately not got a clip to show, so this is purely a text version of this scenario....

Late in game, a corner is awarded to Brentford.
As usual, at corners, a lot of hustling for the space wanted and the referee stops restart to organise said stuff inside the area.
Corner happens and referee stops play about a second AFTER kick has taken.
He then cautions Calvin Bassey for an infringement that the referee was trying to stop in the first place, the pushing and shoving.

Now, my question is, why was a penalty not awarded then (he ordered the corner to be retaken) if he deemed Bassey to have committed a reckless challenge (to warrant a card) after the restart has occurred?

Again, sorry for lack of video to show context.

Hard to discuss it without seeing the clip, but if the foul/push happened before the ball was in play, corner would be correct restart.

Is this another case of the referee decides - not the whistle. The referee decided the kick could not commence but by the time he/she blows the ball is in the air. It happens.

Yep and is this is a prime example of why it should be the case.
It shouldn't be a race to get the ball in play before the whistle

It's nice when I don't even have to bother getting on one of my usual soapboxes because two others have got there first!

Agree with everyone else. It is very rare the ref will award a penalty in these situations, and rightly so.
