That first one is what I was hoping for!!Must be it :
Reminded me of another video I watched a while ago :
Now if the second one made me laugh and quite amazed me at the time, the first one made me quite uncomfortable, the ref seems to play quite a too big role in that..
How can the referee play any role except ensuring that the rules are followed?
If both teams have a minimum of 7 players in their own half and the remaining players are not in the opposition half, get on with it. I've done it and it really starts the game with a rush. Time wasting fail.
In that case, of course, the referee is not acting impartially, so it would be an issue regardless of what else is going on.Easy, if the team rushes to get the ball, place it and wait for the whistle, and the ref blows it, then he's just ensuring the rules
If the ref goes and catch the ball himself to give it to the attacker and rush to whistle, while he's not even positioned where he should be on a kick off, then he's playing a big role
Is it ok if a ref get the ball on a Free kick and say to the attacker "play quick ! they're not ready !!" ? Well that's the same thing IMO
