What do we call it? The Blue team has just scored a goal
resulting in the score now being tied. With not much time
remaining, a Blue forward runs into the goal to retrieve the ball
and bring it back for the kick-off restart as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, this results in a tussle with the Red goalkeeper who
was also in the process of picking up the ball. You decide to
caution the Blue player. Given that the Blue player was trying to
restart play quickly, the caution must be reported as unsporting
behavior rather than delaying the restart of play. FALSE It IS
