Semi related to a scenario I had in my game at the weekend:
Law 3.8 basically says that if a player who needs the referees permission to re-enter does so without it then the referee stops play, but not immediately if there is interference or advantage applied.
It then goes on to offer a restart (idfk from location of ball) if play is stopped without interference.
If play shouldn't be stopped immediately without interference then why do we need a restart for no interference?
And, why has this law not been updated to reflect restarts following an offence baing taken from the position of the offence? (My guess is to stop players from running on in attacking situations, but that is covered by not stopping unless interfering)
Answers on a postcard.
