Love these cartoons and the BBC are running a series of You are the Ref questions over Euro 2008
Here's the first one to have a go at.

Answer will appear on the BBC site tomorrow (Wednesday) or when Ledge tells us!

...same as, once the decision to play on has been made, you have to wait for break in play to punish player.
Given that at the start of the action a player was not given a Red Card for a clear Red Card offence then it must be assumed that the eventual Goal scoring team must be Man Utd. Therfore the Goal will stand and the fouled player will be sent off for diving.
So no goal,free kick for the offside and send the bloke off for the tackle.
Maybe?
stop the play after the fouled players team no longer has the advantage (ie when the keeper saves it) so he can recieve treatment, send the dirty b'stard off that made the tackle and then re-start with a drop ball where you stopped it.
common sense ........ no chance.
I would imagine the ref's played the advantage so therefore play goes on until a stop in play which will be after the goal has been scored.
So the goal is allowed but the player and goalscorer is subsequently sent off.
It is not advisable to apply an advantage with a RED CARD offence. But in this case, with an obvious clear-cut goalscoring chance, I would wait THREE SECONDS and if the ball had not entered the goal I would stop play and dismiss the player.
I certainly would not have allowed play to continue in the way that the question suggests and I believe I speak for all referees officiating in EURO 2008.
Here's Wednesday riddle

Maybe it's me, but was there a situation a few seasons back where a ball-boy prevented a goal?
A goal can only be given if the ball crosses the line.
...........
Just for your interest the Germans call goals that are given where the ball doesn't cross the line "Wembley Goals".
about 6 or 7 years ago at the Valley a player from the opposition whom i cannot recall passed the ball back to his goalkeeper, obviously the keeper couldn't pick it up but none of our players challenged him. he came out the area, ran the ball up and down the goal line (it wasn't Weaver) then went back into his box and picked the ball up. the ref didn't blow for a back pass which i was surprised about seeing as no one else had touched the ball since he received it.
was that a mistake by the ref or is there a time frame or something??
Award an indirect free-kick to the opposing team from the place where the player touched the ball. Caution him for entering the field of play without permission. If he had already been cautioned, administer a second yellow card and then a red card. As the incident took place inside the goal area, (defending players have to be at least 9.15m from the ball) the defenders must stand on the goalline and between the goalposts.
This is an excellent question and sure to create a lot of debate, with many insisting he should have been shown a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
Thursday's question
Question:
A team hanging on to a one-goal lead are desperately trying to waste time when their goalkeeper catches a long range shot from Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. The keeper runs to the edge of the penalty area and then calls for a defender, who runs up close to him and throws the ball for him to head back into his hands. He does this repeatedly, assured it would not be judged a back pass.
a) If an opposition player came and tried to break it up, would he get booked for attempting to stop the keeper taking a throw out to a teammate?
b) Is there a ruling which would allow you, the referee, to put an end to this time-wasting ploy? If so, how would you re-start the game?
How would you handle this situation?
