Law 12
Team officials
The coach and other officials indicated on the team list (with the exception of players or substitutes) are deemed to be team officials.
If a team official enters the field of play:
• the referee must stop play (although not immediately if the team official does not interfere with play or if the advantage can be applied)
• the referee must have him removed from the field of play and if his behaviour is irresponsible, the referee must expel him from the field of play and its immediate surroundings
• if the referee stops the match, he must restart play with a dropped ball from the position of the ball when the match was stopped, unless play was stopped inside the goal area, in which case the referee drops the ball on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the point nearest to where the ball was located when play was stopped
Mr Edge has it down pat at DF Park Leaves field of play and changes to a std top and sits behind dug out. Only communicates quietly to Assistant and not directly to players.
Edit: can't quickly see restriction on instructions to the bench but did find a report of an expelled coaches cellphone being confiscated.
Back to work enough fun for today.
