Script:In addition to knowing what actions should result in misconduct, referees must also
know how to restart play after issuing a card.If play was stopped solely to deal with misconduct
committed on the field of play, the proper restart is an indirect free kick from the location of the
misconduct.If play was stopped for a foul, and the referee decided to issue a card for
misconduct, play is resumed according to the type of foul committed.If misconduct occurs
during a stoppage, the restart is determined by the original reason for the stoppage.Classroom
