I've been wondering about this for a while and wondered whether SC has a resident ref, or someone with an unusual appetite for the laws of the game but what would happen if...
2 players were running together in the penalty area but then cross the goal line with the ball remaining in play, the attacker turns to re-enter the field of play and play the ball but the defender pulls him back/trips him off the field of play?
It's an obvious foul, but is it a penalty as the offence didn't actually occur in the penalty area?
Be good to clear this one up, it's been bugging me for a while, and feel free to add any other scenarios in too.
