Assistant referee keeps ball in play
The Dutch commentator was wondering why play was still going on, but here’s a perfect example of an assistant referee who touches the ball when it’s in play.
He’s no so-called outside agent, so the game should go on. See video of situation in EC qualifier between Finland and The Netherlands below.
Such thing happened a few weeks ago in a match in one of the British lower leagues, but I can’t find it back. The referee was on the sideline and ball bounced via him to the defending team. They started a couter-attack and scored. Ever experienced that?
