A red team forward kicks the ball very hard at the goal and is on target. The ball glances off the referee, who can't get out of the way in time. The ball misses the goal and goes over the goal line without any further player contact. What is the restart?
Correct Answer
C. Drop ball where the referee was standing
Explanation
In soccer (football), if the ball hits the referee during play and there is no further contact before the ball goes out of play (in this case, over the goal line), the restart is typically a dropped ball. The referee will stop play and drop the ball at the spot where it struck the referee, and players from both teams can contest for possession. This restart is a fair way to resume play when the referee's involvement in the game is accidental.

10.
The blue team keeper kicks the ball but skies the ball. As the ball drops, a blue defender swings his leg, calls out the keeper, and contacts the ball mid-thigh. Without further player contact, the ball travels back to the keeper, who picks it up. What should the referee do?
Correct Answer
A. Allow play to proceed, no infringement.
Explanation
The referee should allow play to proceed without any infringement. In this situation, the blue defender made contact with the ball after it dropped from the sky, and then the ball traveled back to the keeper who picked it up. Since there was no further player contact and the ball was not deliberately played by the keeper's hands, there is no violation of the rules. Therefore, the referee should let the game continue without any penalty or card.
