The ball is dropped for the defending team goalkeeper in their penalty area if, when play was stopped:

the ball was in the penalty area or

the last touch of the ball was in the penalty area

========
In all other cases, the referee drops the ball for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touched a player, an outside agent or, as outlined in Law 9.1, a match official




Depends if the ref blew before CHO touched it, but from what I saw it should have been Forests ball.

Depends if he’d been slipped a thick brown envelope by Liverpool or not. In this case, it probably happened.,

TOOR will be along soon to tell you why the decision was correct, because it was in Liverpool’s favour.

He would also be able to explain why the decision was incorrect, had it been against Liverpool. He may choose not to share that, though.

Thanks for the answer, glad it didn’t involve VAR this time, but it would be nice if the officials applied the rules as they are meant to be applied.
Thanks again.

Nah, City cornered the market in brown envelopes a long time ago.
You'll probably find that out tomorrow

So I guess a tactic could be to just go down and hold your head if your team is out of possession

Happens all the time, a defending player goes down with limited (or no) contact to stop games where they are under pressure.

They won’t need brown envelopes against us. They could bribe the ref in our favour and still win .

Leave the bribery to Liverpool

They don’t normally get given the ball as a reward though

The exact same decision did go against Liverpool in the first half

In that case maybe the ref needs to read the rules.

It literally did

Yates went down after an Elliott shot hit him in the face with Liverpool having the ball around the Forest box. Tierney then restarted the game with the Forest keeper having the ball.

I have no idea if the rule is right or not but he was consistent in how he handled it.

He’s a dirty little caaant of a player. Can’t stand him

If the ‘head injury’ occurs in the box the ball is given to the goalkeeper, see the thread about refereeing protocol somebody actually answers it factually.

Sorry that was meant to say at the start of the thread for how to restart a game, correctly.

Convenient.

I've only ever seen the ref give the ball back to the team in possesion when the game was stopped assuming it hadn't gone out of play.

Obviously different rules when it's Liverpool.

As it turns out, Tierney complied with the law.

Had it been in favour of Forest, I wonder if you guys would have been interested in that minor detail.

Why, what do you think I should be doing?

Oh and actually, I won most of it thanks to Spurs.
