Some of our referees on here may be able to answer this. I have queried it before. If a foul is committed and the ref allows advantage and the fouled player advances with the ball and is fouled again, should the ref award a free from the location of the first foul or the second. From watching games since this rule was introduced it would appear that the ref calls the play back and gives the free from where the original foul was committed. I think this is incorrect. If you let play continue surely the free should be given from the most advantageous position. I actually seen in a game where a player was fouled going towards goal, ref played advantage, the player proceeds to the penalty area where he is fouled again. ref blows whistle and awards free from original location rather than penalty. It actually happened during the Dublin v Kerry match too (not the penalty incident). s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 30/08/2016 21:00:06 1908370 Link 0 |

The ref can give the second foul. There's an exception though, which might explain why the second foul isn't given a lot of the time. Let's say player A carries the ball 3 steps and has his jersey pulled - he carries on having been given an advantage. However, he carries the ball for 3 more steps, meaning he himself has now over-carried the ball. The ref now needs to award the original foul because the player in possession should be penalised otherwise for over-carrying. Clear as mud?!
