You're the Ref

[brouhaha]

Can anyone explain this one? Is it because the linesman was running on the pitch, or is it just a strange footballing rule?

If the linesman was on the pitch or prevented the ball from fully leaving the pitch, then it's still in play. In this instance the linesman is equivalent to a goal post or the corner flag. Therefore when Kenny Miller then dinks the ball out of play (in his mind he's taking it back over for the throw in) that's when the ball is put out of play and a throw in is awarded.

correct

 

I think there was a very similar one posed in the Guardian's You Are the Ref series about a month ago. Ultimately the lino shouldn't be that near the field of play when the ball's near him - to avoid this happeneing

Thanks, makes sense, just a bit confusing when the commentator said the ball did go out of play. Not out of play enough it would seem

Did you notice that the lino didn't give the throw in. He waited for the ref to let him know before he put the flag up. He didn't have a clue

If the lino reckons he's in the wrong in something, it seems sensible to get the referee (As the man in charge and a second opinion) to give the ruling.

It seems alot more f***ing sensible to just give Rangers a throw in

It's not sensible if those aren't the rules.

You don't think that common sense can be applied in certain situations?

It was 'the rules' to allow Nani's goal against Spurs, but i'm sure you had plenty to say about that

I know you've been watching football long enough to realise that common sense rarely ventures out on matchdays.

Can't argue with that.

excellent solution from when saturday comes:

 

The Scottish Football Association's plans to cope with the impending referees' strike have been hampered by officials from various countries refusing to fill in. But there is a group of people with firmly held views on refereeing who would surely be ready to help out. So let's see Chris Kamara, Andy Gray, Jamie Redknapp and Mark Lawrenson step into the breach.
