Reply | When can a referee blow his whistle to finish a half/match.

Thanks for the clarification guys. While we have the referees on, I have another thing I have noticed a lot. Quite a few seasons ago, if a player deliberately kicked a ball away after a foul, it seemed to always be an automatic yellow card. Nowadays it is so clear that players are coached that the nearest to the ball after a free kick is given against is to (not so subtley) kick the ball away from where the free kick should be taken or stand over the ball thus preventing a quick take. Is this something the referees have been told to use discretion on, or is it something that is now ‘part of the modern game’ along with accepting the contact and controlling the game (ie time wasting). |

In reference to Clive’s match report, what is the official law relating to when a referee should blow his whistle for the end of a half or match. Is he obliged to blow as soon as his watch reaches 45 mins plus added time, or must he wait for a neutral phase of the game before whistling? I always thought the latter, but that is based on nothing more than what I have always assumed! |
