it seems refs can interpret this however they want, I have seen some take almost personal offense to standing in front of the ball after a freekick is blown. So much power tripping from amateur refs its unreal.
If you stand in front of the ball trying to prevent a quick kick and aren't making any effort to get back, you are asking for a yellow, it's not power tripping it's called the laws of the game,
people (like you?) that think the laws should be amended, different and/or more lenient for the amateur game need to reconsider pass times...
