In a U-16 boys game, Black #12, a team substitute, enters the field of play without permission from the referee. While the ball is in play, White #5 strikes Black #12 in the middle of the field.What should the referee do? What is the restart?.
Answer: The referee should stop play, show the red card to white #5, and send him off for violent conduct for striking black #12. Then the referee should show the yellow card to black #12, and caution him for unsporting behavior when he entered the field of play without permission from the referee. The referee should start play with an indirect free kick for the black team. Violent conduct is a more serious misconduct than entering the field of play without permission, and so the send-off is managed first in order to calm players down and prevent possible player confrontations and/or additional misconduct.
Black #12 - Caution (Entering without Permission)
