Guardian: You are the ref
Yes, that's Paul Scholes. I think this is a good conversation starter with United scattered around Europe this weekend and no Premier League games to watch. So, you are the ref...whatcha gonna do?
Here's my response:
1. I'd give the player that ran into the box a yellow for unsporting behavior and require the team that's kicking declare to the ref and the keeper who the shooter is going to be.
2. Is there a rule about wearing a proper uniform? I'm not sure, so I guess I'd take the numbers of the players wearing altered shirts and add it in to the post-match report.
3. I'd issue the player that kicked the ball a yellow card for unsporting behavior and warn the bench that should there be interference from the spectators again, it can result in the match being called.
Again, I haven't sat down and read the FIFA rulebook or the Premier League rulebook to see how any of these situations should be resolved. If it's covered, then I'd expect if I were the ref, I'd know that...but since I'm not, I don't.
Am I wrong? Would you do something completely different? Need an account? Click here to sign up and join the community!
