Did there used to be a rule where if a team gave dissent after a free kick being awarded against them then the ref would pick up the ball and move it forward ten yards? Or have I I imagined this?
Didn’t it once happen at Tivoli end and nick Daws smashed in a free kick that had been moved into the penalty box?
If this was a thing. Whatever happened to it?
