Hanging Judge | Fourth official must not drop ball, writes Errol Sweeney
In some leagues it’s still happening because there are not enough qualified refs to go around – and that’s understandable.
Today the fourth official is standard in most, if not all, top-grade matches. I get so hot under the collar when I see the fourth official being harangued and abused by coaches and technical area staff. Why is this so important? Put simply, this is because, if the player coming off commits a foul that is deserving of either a second yellow or a straight red card, he is immediately sent off and the player coming on is then refused permission to enter the fray.Do not allow a substitute coming on to do so until the player he is replacing has left the field of play.
In a recent English Premiership game, the manager of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, raced out of his area, collected the ball and gave it to his player.This resulted in a quick throw-in for his team from which a goal was scored.
