Referee/Mentor
Copied this from a referee site on facebook.. but what would you do?
Set Piece direct free kick to attacking team to the right of the penalty area, the Referee places the ball holds up whistle to show 'do not start until signalled' He paces out the defensive wall, advises the players they are in the penalty area and any unnatural arm movement and contact with the ball will be a penalty. He moves to the left to take up his position, an attacking player stands in front of the ball with two colleagues 5m in front of him and behind the ball. The referee blow's his whistle, the player standing in front of the ball picks up the ball holds it above his head, replaces it 1m to his left and the player to his left runs and kicks for goal.
On this occasion the ball goes out of play, any action required? if it had gone into goal what would your decision be.
