I must admit as a qualified ref the ref got his decisions spot on!! It was a push which impeded Vididc from making a clearence of the ball and the free kick!! A free kick is as it sounds, a free kick on goal, you decide to take it quick and it hits a defender on his arse then you cant complain the 10 yard rule its 'your choice' its a free kick!! If it goes in goal its a goal. I say this as this question came up on my refs exam (yes we do have to take them) All the ref got wrong is that Scholes could have got yellow carded on several occasions and that he didnt walk many a frog/nigerian for dissent and wanting to walk off!! The dutch lad did a very very good job!! Best Ref ive seen in years!!
