Question Number: 24568Law 15 - Throw In 2/7/2011RE: Rec Adult brian casey of Newmarket, Ontario Canada asks...Player takes a throw in, the ball hits the ref without touching any other player on the field.
The player that took the throw in touches the ball, what's the call??. Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Brian
It is an indirect free kick from where the player touched the ball. The ball has to touch another player before it can be touched again by the thrower. The referee is just part of the field of play.

View Referee Joe McHugh profileAnswer provided by Referee Gary Voshol The person taking the throw-in cannot touch the ball a second time until it touches another player (from either team). But the referee is not a player. So play is stopped and the restart is an indirect free kick from the place where the thrower touched the ball a second time.
