Was pointed out on Twitter that the correct answer wasn't an option before and after they posted their answer.

Am I missing something? Correct option seems to be B as I read it.

The dropped ball is from where the ball strikes the match official.

HA! I had this happen on Sunday morning. Was nice to be up with play for a change.

“Yeah, it’s here fella. Drop ball to you from where it hit me”
- “What? Your b*****ks?”

The location is explicit in Law 8

That's the thing.

The "correct" answer is supposed to be D.

 

[socal lurker]

That’s a worse wrong answer than B!

No, the thing is, the correct answer is not even listed.

Possession changed and blue started an attack. Therefore the team that last touched the ball is red..and so the restart is from where the ball touched the referee and to them team that last touched it. Red.

Alright, I'll come clean, I was just indulging in a spot of leg-pulling. Had exactly the same question popped up last week on another forum I frequent which caused a fair old bit of debate so I thought I'd see if I could create similar. Epic fail on my part ...

I’ll let my wife know.

OHH you meant the other thing!

 

[FirsFox40]

Red.

bit harsh, but I suppose if they DID kick the ball at you

 

[RustyRef]

I suspect they meant the correct answer to be D, but accidentally wrote blue instead of red.

They said the correct answer was B.

 

[Redster]

B is correct.




If red had a promising attack in which the ball was somehow last touched in their own PA

 

[socal lurker]

B is correct.




If red had a promising attack in which the ball was somehow last touched in their own PA

(but not actually, as b says the DB is where the red player last touched the ball….)

I suspect the person designing the question thied themselves into a knot mixing up promising attack and possession change in the one question.The fact that a promising attack is started is completely irrelevant once possession changes.

And the location and target of dropped ball is dependent on location of last touch and where it hits the official. Not enough info in the question for that.

Designing good lotg questions is an art and not everyone is an artist
