Question Number: 35783

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/28/2024

RE: Adult

JM Stalin of Secunderabad, Telangana India asks...

Coaches kindly note during the game????? All verbal offences are Penalised with an Inderct free kick

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi
Verbal offences are one of three offences which are dissent, offensive insulting and abusive language and verbally distracting an opponent during play or at a restart.

You will note that all these offences involve a card so if there is no card there is no IDFK restart.

All in the game know that once a card is issued during play that there has to be a free kick restart. In verbal offences it os an IDFK restart.

In the case of verbal offences from the technical area a referee should wait until the ball is next out of play and then take the appropriate action. It does not change the restart.
