Free kick from mark kicked directly to touch after time has finished?

Well? ?

Well England players seemed to think the LO should be taken.... I however disagree!

Really? I thought kick from a mark is a free kick, law change this year means a free kick direct to touch is now the same case as a penalty - I.e. requires a restart? 5.7.b.

I stand to be corrected. ..and please do.

Firstly....only Law Change that I am aware of this year is the 'scoring at base of the post!
Edit... didn't actually edit!!!!!

5.7.b simply means that the kick must taken. 5.7.c talks about what happens next and it is only for a penalty

Seconded.

Thirded, I assumed it was just the players embarrassing themselves by not knowing the laws of the game they are paid to play, again!
