Just been watching Hull v Man.City and Hull get a free kick near the Man.City area in the first half.Ref.makes sure the wall is back 10 yards then blows his whistle so the free kick can be taken,after the whistle has been blown the Hull player picks the ball up and puts it over his head to tell his team mates where the kick is being aimed for.Now my question is once the ref blows i presume the ball is in play and therefore Man.City should have been awarded a free kick and the Hull player booked for handball?

they did it at old trafford as well for their first goal. ball isnt in play though until someone kicks it. eg. if an opposition player kicked it, it'd be re-taken.

2 City players were booked for encroaching - they rushed out when the whistle was blown but the ball isn't 'live' until it is kicked - therefore when it was kicked the part of the wall that had broken out was less than 10 yards away. Ref's don't normally do anything about the wall rushing out but the free kick was taken 3 times, it was almost as if the ref wanted Geovanni to score!
