Question Number: 30025Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 1/17/2016RE: competive Under 19 james mcmullan of howell, nj monmouth asks...the ball is in play,a team mate of the player with the ball runs off the field spits at his coach and runs back on the field. what should the referee do? Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson Hi James,
hmmm well the player is guilty of leaving the FOP without permission of the referee to commit an act of VC against a team official. The correct restart is a INDFK from where the ball was when he exited the FOP and to show a direct red card to the spitter, sending him off, reducing the team by a player and PERHAPS try to intervene to keep the coach/team from beating their own player.
Cheers

The player is sent off for spitting and the restart is an IDFK from where the ball was when play was stopped. No place for that in game and it makes no difference who is spat it. It can be an opponent, team mate, spectator they are all the same. The only difference is the restart depending on where it happened and to whom.
