Darren Drysdale: Rochdale v Scunthorpe
DIR By: olliebcafc

Really unusual incident in the first half. Rochdale penalty
taker runs up to the ball.. before stopping and turning around.
Drysdale awards Scunthorpe an indirect free kick without the
kick ever being taken. Isn’t this wrong application of law? By
all means the taker can be cautioned if deemed unsporting
behaviour but as far as I’m aware, the restart can’t be changed
and the kick has to be taken. Happy to be corrected

Yes, an explanation would be nice because sat at the other end
of the ground, we didn't have the foggiest what was going on.

Unfortunately, this is wrong in law.
Expected outcome: A caution and a re-take, as the kick was not
completed.
A similar thing happened last season between Altrincham vs.
Newcastle U21.

In his post-match interview, our manager claims this is what he
was told by the assessor.

So why didn’t he caution Mani?

My disagree was on the basis that I read you were saying perhaps
the ref is correct (sadly he isn't) but then I realised that you
may have been saying the afformentioned observer was correct...
so I'm not sure haha.
If the kick isn't taken, the restart can not be anything other
than a penalty. As said above, the player can be cautioned, but
he still gets a second chance. There was actually a question in
the steps 2-6 January LOTG test to this effect. Only if the kick
is taken and a feint was made at the end of the run up, can
there be an IDFK restart.

As a mere watcher, does it have to be the same identified player
who gets the "second chance"? I presume that if the player were
to be injured (goodness knows how) during his run up, there
would be provision for a replacement.

Yeah if the kicker was injured then you could swap kickers (and
you'd probably not be cautioning as its not unsporting to be
injured - the unsporting element is either delaying the restart
or trying to gain an advantage over the goalkeeper by seeing
which way he moves).
Should a team decide they want to change taker after such an
incident without it being the result of an injury... I don't
actually think law gives us a clear answer, but I'd be inclined
to say that it's fine (and would probably help justify the
caution as delaying the restart)

Or, more likely, it was his second yellow.
