       Oh dear - brilliant positioning?

       Should be a drop-ball restart to the defending goal-keeper, but
       I don't know how the game was actually re-started. Bet the other
       team would be happy about that!  ;D

       Referee incredibly unlucky, victim of being so much up with play
       Very interested to see what happened next

       Don't think I agree that ref was unlucky - don't think he should
       be positioning himself so deep.
       I was always taught never to go in the six yard box when the
       ball is in play unless someone was being murdered!

       Before the "new" rules it would have been a goal-kick, so not
       much difference.

       Not particularly germane to this incident but I reckon Mexican
       referees must be allotted a good measure of hair oil to complete
       their appearance. This chap puts me in mind of a Mexican referee
       who officiated at at least a couple of World Cup Finals and
       whom, on this site, we playfully nicknamed Count Dracula. Anyone
       remember his name ?

       I agree. I think top flight refs are taught to veer off towards
       the corner of the penalty area to avoid this particular
       situation arising. I recall 'Speedy Gonzales' aka Andy Woolmer
       heading into the thick of things in the penalty area at Gresty
       Road on one occasion and practically having his head taken off
       by a goal-bound shot. I don't think he did that again!

       Unless laws have changed again, shouldn't restart be a goal
       kick? The ball has hit the referee and I think then gone
       directly out of play. Doesn't drop ball only apply if ball
       remains in play?

       Law 9.1
       The ball is out of play when:
       •
       ground or in the air
       •
       •
       o
       o
       o
       In all these cases, play is restarted with a dropped ball.
       The ball didn't remain in play.  The correct restart is a goal
       kick.

       If the ball had gone in the net would it have been a contested
       drop ball or would it have been an uncontested drop ball to the
       attacking team as they played the ball last?
