Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Soccer Referee in Play? - Listen
In soccer – the home team attempts a pass, but the ball deflects off the referee and right into the path of an away team forward who has a clear run at the goal. What should happen next?
a) Play continues – referees are in play and part of the game.
b) Stop play and award an indirect free kick to the home team.
c) Stop play and give a drop ball to the team that last touched the ball prior to hitting the referee – the home team in this example.
d) Or, award a drop ball to the team that benefitted from the deflection.
The correct answer is a drop ball to the home team.
If a ball hits a referee that starts a promising attack, changes possession, or goes directly into goal, play should stop and re-start with a drop ball to the team that last touched the ball.
