I did a friendly today and i had a few queries;
At the kick-off the winning team chose ends. Can the losing team refuse to kick-off?
At a goal kick the keeper was playing it short to his defender in the area. At what point can the attacker enter the area and play the ball - once the keeper kicks the ball or once the second player touches it?
Later on a stray pass hit my back so i stopped the game and gave a dropped ball. Correct?
Lastly, an attacker made contact with the ball ( handball - total accident) on the half way line and the ball went to his team mate who scored - play on or a free kick under the new laws? I gave a goal as i thought attackers accidentally handling the ball was an offence if it was in the last 1/3 or penalty area only.
Bizarrely, the home team said they had 2 weeks off in May had have played friendlies every week since the end of May!
Thanks in advance.
