I was reffing my lad’s team today and a series of events caused a lot of controversy.

We were 4-2 up with 10 minutes left. The opposition scored, for the ball out of the net and raced back to restart. They got underway and with 2/3 minutes left, equalised. Again they got the ball and legged it back. They need a win to go top. In the last minute, they snatched a winner and all ran off the pitch and were some 10 yards off the pitch for about a minute.

My goalie kicked the ball back and then one player said “let’s kick off”. The opposition had 2 or 3 players and the goalie on the pitch. The rest were still going crazy off the pitch.

I had a flash back to France ‘98 and Darren Anderton’s last ditch tackle against Argentina. I let them kick off. The opposition coaches were fine with it but some of the parents weren’t happy.

Have I acted within the laws of the game by allowing the game to be restarted?

Uh No, sorry.

This came up during the world cup when a few teams (England included) tried to take quick restarts while other teams were still celebrating.

Every time they got pulled back. Everyone has to be in their own half.

FIFA Law 8.1

I think its 7 players in your own half to restart.
??You were reffing and you refer to one team as 'we' - sounds fair ;-)

But that’s if they’re on the pitch. These players were well off.

Doesn't matter.

Under Fifa’s laws, a restart can be taken once all of the following parameters are met:

  • after a team scores a goal, the kick-off is taken by the other team.
  • all players must be in their own half of the field of play
  • the opponents of the team taking the kick-off are at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the ball until it is in play
  • the ball must be stationary on the centre mark
  • the referee gives a signal
  • the ball is in play when it is kicked and moves forward
  • the kicker must not touch the ball again until it has touched another player

I’m the coach. If the league don’t appoint a ref, the home coaches have to do it.

With hindsight, I’m glad we didn’t equalise but I thought I was right at the time. They were clearly trying to waste time. There was the initial celebration and then one player started to wave others over. I think they knew what they were doing.
