Soccer Question 9
Laws of Soccer - Advanced - A dropped ball is to be taken outside the defending team's goal. The referee, in what will be the blunder of his career and subject of news tabloids for weeks to come, drops the ball on his own toe, which then takes a bounce on the ground, before meandering into the goal of the defense. What is the proper restart of play?
The correct answer is 'The dropped ball is retaken from the same spot'
The key to this answer is in Law 8 - The Start and Restart of Play. In this situation, the requirements for a dropped ball to have legally re-entered play are almost met; all except one, thankfully. Law 8 states that the dropped ball must be retaken "if the ball leaves the field of play after it makes contact with the ground, without a player touching it" (Law 8 - The Start and Restart of Play). And so justice is done: the referee can, once he's done blushing, drop the ball again.
