I was at a game yesterday, a team got a free kick, and a player took it before the referee had blown the whistle. He got booked, and as he already had a yellow, was sent off. This seemed totally ridiculous to me, as I have always believed a free kick should be a free kick, not a chance for one team to reorganise their defence - despite supporting Arsenal, I saw nothing wrong with Man U's goal against Lille. Is there actually a rule laid down by FIFA about taking FKs too quickly, or is this another 'referee's discretion' thing?
