After 10+ years of refereeing I had a first ever incident.......
Free kick, plays it short to a team mate who is not watching, as fk taker moves towards ball the other player starts to turn, taker seems to nudge other player out of the way and to my eye touches the ball a second time and continues up field with it. It took me a few seconds to take in what I had seen and was convinced the taker had indeed touched it twice. IDFK. The other player involved didn't argue but said he had touched it, it had skimmed across the top of his boot. I said he would have to make it more obvious in future.
Any first time ever's??
