In adult football whenever there is a drop ball after stopping for an injury or a throw in to the opposition after the ball has been deliberately kicked out I get asked by one or both teams what they should do i.e. they are looking for guidance. I used to say it is up to you I cannot dictate what you do. Very recently I have altered my response to I would suggest you pass it back to them but ultimately it is up to you. This change is based on why do I need to be pedantic when if it all goes wrong I am inviting aggravation upon myself.
What do others do or say when asked by a player?
Did you know that it does not say in the LOTG how many players from each side can contest a drop ball, cue mayhem.
Possibly for another thread but you could add in back passes that the GK can/cannot pick up, do you say anything (coaching) or move away for example if the GK can pick it up?
