REFEREE'S INTERPRETATIONS
Looking for some feed back from all those referee lurkers
10 yard rule:
Once a foul is committed, isn't it the responsibility of the team that committed the foul to move 10 yards back immidiately so the play can continue, regardless of where it is on the field?
Refs will give a player a yellow for standing in front of the ball in the middle of the field, but around the 18 box, you let them stand there until the opposing team asks for 10 yards. And then they have to wait for a whistle. WTF?
Brian Wilms, a ref, says it's the responsibility of the fouling team to move away immediately, told to or not. This is the correct interpretation because this allows the game to flow, gives the fouled team a deserved advantage, and is consistent with referee actions throughout the game.
