The Ref Stop

Exam evening

The Ref Stop
When IFAB first introduced misconduct against an official as a DFK, there was some confusion over whether OFFINABUS or even dissent was included within DFK. IFAB clarified the next year that the DFK re referee team was limited to physical misconduct.

(Is it possible that the question had a prior foul so the point was that the DFK restart remains and the restart does not change because of misconduct while the ball is not in play?)
Didn't they actually clarify this with the response that verbal offenses are indirect. I though the clarification was clear at the time.
