made a mistake today in a cup match. More technical/interesting than a KMI problem.
After awarding an offside blue keeper is taking the IDFK from inside the penalty area. He kicked it a short distance and plays it again. I blew for IDFK and everyone on the pitch was happy with that and the keeper apologised to his teammates. After organising the IDFK (which ended with a goal kick) and running back up field it hit me that the ball isn't in play until it leaves the area so it probably wasn't actually an offence to play it twice but I wasn't sure....just re-read the laws and it should of just been a retake. Oops.
Lesson learned.
