Ashley Posted 28 July 2011 Posted 28 July 2011 Just browsing through the NPower Banter page on facebook and seen this comment. Just a question (always wondered this).. if it was the World Cup Final, 90th minute and lets say David Villa was about to shoot the ball into an empty net but a fan ran on the pitch and blocked the ball, what would happen? Would Spain be given a penalty or would the match continue? - Obviously wouldn't be a penalty, because he hasn't been fouled. - Drop ball, someone said. DB11, any other refs. What would happen?

samjohnson Posted 28 July 2011 Posted 28 July 2011 Drop ball from the position that the outside agent (the fan in this case) dropped it. It would be down to the opposing team if they wanted to contest it or not. It can only be a penalty if there was a penal offence, which there isnt.
