My answer is:
ReplyDeleteB. Caution Purple #11
I suppose one may caution purple #5 for fainting that was outside of the LOG, however, that would seem to be pushing the interpretation to make a point.
I had another question though, if you don't mind. Because of the entry of #11 into the penalty area, after the whistle was blown, would the correct restart be a retaking of the penalty kick? Since the purple player entered the penalty area before the ball was put into play?
Thanks!
B.
ReplyDeleteThe FIFA 2006 Questions and Answers explicitly covers this scenario.
Disallow the goal, caution purple #11 for Unsporting Behavior, and award an indirect free kick to the defense at the location #11 entered the penalty area.
Alex and Anon,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question and answer. I am going to refrain from my answer until the 1st ... and I will give my opinion in full.
PK
Caution #5 for unsporting behavior.
ReplyDeleteRekick because ball wasn't put in play properly. Wrong player took penalty kick.
This is good stuff, Peter. I'd like to see more posts like this to test referees' knowledge of the LOTG. This also highlights the importance of identifying who will take the PK beforehand. It makes it really easy to call it back when you've specifically asked them.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! I agree with you regarding proper identification. Answer is written and is up for all tomorrow.
