Question Number: 23545

Law 8 - Start and Restart of Play 6/23/2010

RE: Rec Adult

Sean of Charles Town, WV USA asks...

This question is a follow up to question 23513

Thank you, I was watching play the whole time, I was the closest defender to the play and the first one dribbled past when the ref called 'play on,' there was no quick kick.

Answer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney

Then the referee needs to be re-educated. Please contact the assignor, and tell them what you told us. He or she would be the best one, or perhaps a local instructor or assessor could have a conversation with the referee and see if this can be remedied.

Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino

Agreed. The referee cannot blow his whistle and then tell the players to continue play. An assessment is in order
