LAW 12 – FOULS AND MISCONDUCT
If a substitute directs an object at the ball with a part of his body other than his
hands, thus causing his team to be playing with an extra player:
• if the ball is in play and the object strikes the ball, the referees must stop
play and either send him off for a double caution, both for unsporting
behaviour, the fi rst caution for entering the pitch without the referees’
permission and the second for directing the object, or send him off directly
if by doing so he denied a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
They restart play with an indirect free kick to the opposing team from the
position of the ball when play was stopped (see Law 13 – Position of free
kick)
• if the ball is in play and the object does not strike the ball, the referees must
stop play if they cannot apply the advantage and send him off for a double
caution, both for unsporting behaviour, the fi rst caution for entering the
pitch without the referees’ permission and the second for throwing the
object. They restart play with an indirect free kick to the opposing team
from the position of the ball when play was stopped (see Law 13 – Position
