You Are The Referee Page 1 Answers
The overenthusiastic sub
My initial thoughts:
A little twist! What would you do if, instead of the sub running on & clearing the ball, it was the
(non playing) coach or trainer who 'did the deed?' Now thats a whole different ball game! -
Your thoughts please.
Penalty!
No Goal!
Shake on it
Do nothing!
Think you could do better?
Then e-mail me with your ideas. Good, amusing or controversial answers will be posted on this page.
Stop the game! Red card for the offending sub (denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity.)
Re-start the game with a direct free-kick (or penalty if the ball was in the box.)
Do not allow the goal and order the penalty to be re-taken.
The penalty is not adjudged to have been taken, and the ball not in play, until it has
been kicked and moves forward. In other words the ball must go forward from a
penakty kick.
There is scope to yellow card the penalty taker for wasting time - but I leave that upto
you as the referee!
There is no requirement for opposing captains to shake hands!
Now if they refused to shake your hand as the referee... well that could be 'showing
dissent by word or action' and warrant a yellow card!
