Question Number: 27992Law 5 - The Referee 11/10/2013RE: Adult elvis of kumasi, ghana asks...Can the referee change his decision on the field of play in a soccer match Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi
Yes any decision can be changed as long as play has not restarted or the game has been ended. So once play has restarted with the referee's permission the referee cannot go back and change his decision.

The referee may change any decision until when play has restarted. I've personally done it a number of times in certain situations.
