Re: Chris Kavanagh - Tottenham vs. Manchester United

On a different subject but from the same game, an incident
occurred where I believe Mr. Kavanagh may have acted outside the
LOTG. A Spurs player was fouled near the centre of the field.
Mr. Kavanagh blew his whistle to stop the game and awarded a
free kick. He allowed the kick to be taken quickly and following
a short attacking move, the ball went out of play for a goal
kick. At that point, he then went back and cautioned the
offending player. I'm sure several on here will correct me if
I'm wrong but I always understood you can't caution (or send off
for that matter) a player once play has restarted. If an
advantage had been played, then fair enough to caution at the
next stoppage but that's not what happened here. Play had been
stopped and a free kick awarded.

Assuming the offending player was cautioned in respect of the
foul then yes I believe you are right. He may of course have
been cautioned for something completely different eg dissent
after the quick restart had occurred.

It looked like he was cautioned for the original foul. Human
error happens, to be fair.

Wasn't there a law amendment allowing a quick free kick with the
caution to follow at the next natural stoppage in play? This to
give an advantage to the offended team. Or did I just make that
up?

Yes, but that law change specifically states that if the referee
allows the quick kick free kick the referee cannot go back and
caution if the offence was stopping a promising attack. So
either Kavanagh deemed to reckless rather than SPA, or had a
brain freeze and forgot the new law. I suspect the former but
only he will know.
