RC player appears as touch judge

[crossref]

Player who received a RC in the first half suddenly reappears as a TJ in the second half...

Thoughts?

Have him replaced immediately.

 

[leaguerefaus]

Hahahaha... No way.

This isn't a case of reading the laws and regulations to find out if there's a loophole. The game is not continuing with him holding the flag.

 

[Marc Wakeham]

RC = No further part in the game.

so the reason I asked this was actually to see how serious people thought it was.
have him replaced as TJ, yes. I was wondering if anyone would take it further (aggravating factor in the RC report? complaint against the club? or just replace the TJ and forget about it)

Not allowed, being a TJ is taking part in the game.
Have them replaced, removed from the playing enclosure, and mention it in the report.

30. When a player is being sent off, the referee will show that player a red card and
the player will take no further part in the match. A player sent off may not be
replaced.

IMO, it absolutely goes in the report. Giving him the flag is a conscious decision by someone within the offender's club, and taking it to TJ is a conscious decision by the offender.

"yeah, but it wasn't, like, a serious red"
The Defence, probably.

Do you know the reason why he was assigned as TJ?
If it was either him or no TJ would that make a difference to your decision?

Who knows. I suspect he grabbed the flag himself at half time.

I only noticed it was him because he was doing the job so lazily that I trotted over to speak to him ... and recognised him.

I just asked the coach to replace, which they did.

After the game, I had a brief (and totally fine) conversation with the coach about the RC. I didnt actually think to bring it up with him, but I did mention it briefly in the report. No idea whether the tribunal thought that was imptt.

Odd thing to happen really.

Though we'd often be better with no TJ as far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as 'none'.
