Had an interesting one today! Half way through second half, CAR frantically waves me over at a stoppage. Says opposing winger on GKs and FKs is purposely going 1-2 yards off the pitch, to create a better angle to run onto the ball.
It actually made me think I didn’t know the sanction, if any, if that was true.
3.8 talks about re-entering without permission and says it’s not an offence if a player leaves as part of playing movement. But that wouldn’t apply here as he’s leaving at dead balls, not accidentally leaving while tackling or jostling for the ball etc.
I told the player to stop it, thanked the CAR for bringing it to my attention and thankfully that was the end of it. But if he’d carried on, any sanction?
