Question Number: 19250Law 13 - Free Kicks 6/2/2008Gil Acedo of Upland, CA USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 19240 I am only a referee and not a coach, but if I were, at a restart that is near the mid-line and with only the GK behind the wall, I would instruct my defenders to form the wall ELEVEN yards from the ball. Then when the defenders stepped forward at the taking of the kick, they would still be complying with the LOTG while putting attackers in an offside position. But then again, I am only a referee.
Gil Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino As usual, Gil, the referee is smarter than the coach! I didn't really say that did I?
