[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You this all the time.  Someone gets fouled and a kid from the other team runs up to the ball to prevent the team from a quick restart.  That is a yellow card. Rarely given.[/quote]

Yeah but isn't it the referees job to determine how far ten yards is? As long as the player doesn't touch the ball he can ask the referee to mark off the 10 yrds so he knows far it he has to be. [/quote]  I'm talking about deliberately running up to the ball, not standing at 8 yards thinking he's at 10.  A player knows that it's 10 yards.  It's delaying the restart of a game.  Usually a ref gives a warning but doesn't have to.[/quote]

Im with you on that. I still think its grey area loophole in the rule. The player can stand 2 yrds away and ask the ref for for the proper yardage. I agree not very sportsman like but can be used a great tactical move occasionally. The defender has the right to ask the ref to mark off the ten yards putting the onus on the ref to determine. I agree the way its written its a delay of game . I also think its hard to enforce [/quote]

It's not actually a grey area in the laws at all. The laws are very clear, failure to respect the distance is a cautionable offense. Every time. Nothing in the laws at all about asking the referee or measuring. Team pulls that once they get warned, second time the cards come out. It's a massive advantage to offending team if that law is not enforced, referees who ignore are not doing their job.

[quote] Cautionable offences

A player is cautioned if guilty of:
...
failing to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick or throw-in [/quote]

My DDs ODP team at U13 was taught to stand over the ball for a second then slowly backup to ten yards while the team behind them gets organized.

Fine, just know that they can get a yellow card for doing it.[/quote]
