View Referee Chuck Fleischer profileAnswer provided by Referee Gary Voshol One would hope that a referee would not repeat the actions of Clive Thomas, who ended a World Cup game while the ball was in flight off a corner kick. That also ended his international career, even though he was entirely correct in Law.
However if the kicking team takes their merry ol' time setting up for the kick and time runs out, well they should have hustled. It's a scoring opportunity only if you make use of the opportunity.
