Got a question regarding the above offence:
http://www.theifab.com/laws/the-players-2018/chapters/player-outside-the-field-of-play-2018
There's the IFAB link.
So, I had an incident this Saturday just gone. Player was injured, sent off the pitch for treatment. He stood where the throw-in was being taken. Team went for a long throw, player asked to come on, I said 'wait', he came on. Now, the throw went up the field, so say he entered in between the drop zone and the thrower.
I stopped play, gave an indirect freekick, cautioned and then sent the player off as it was his second caution. Cue, his entire team trying to gaslight me by saying I gave him permission to come on.
So two questions here:
1. I'm pretty sure I'm correct on this sanctioning him for entering without permission. Right?
The big question is:
2. Was the re-start correct?
I know it's indirect if no interference and direct if there is interference. So, I'm thinking should I have given that as a direct free-kick, because whilst technically he's not interfering with the play, he has, by coming on and distracting me, interfered with me and he has gained a potential advantageous situation if the ball goes back towards him.
So, would someone distracting you by entering/leaving be justification enough for 'interference' with the match official, or does it need to be a stronger incident than that?
It's a rare offence for me to see, but I'm interested in your thoughts on this.
