So, I've finally started my journey by doing my associations LOTG quiz prior to doing the training course.
Interesting thing that I never knew until today:
If a match is extended because of a penalty being awarded (I'll use Italy v Australia in the 2006 World Cup as an example, penalty awarded at the end of added time, so time was added further to allow the penalty to be taken), if the ball rebounds off the crossbar and back into play, even if another player puts the rebound immediately into the goal, it is disallowed, and the half/match is concluded as soon as the penalty has missed/scored.
Did anyone else come across any laws/rules/tidbits that they didn't know existed until becoming a referee, that they found interesting?
