Correct. For a situation where it's just confusion, as that was, he should just be made to move back and play it. A penalty should only be when the player deliberately moves forward.Big Steve wrote:Shouting PLAY ..... could either be play on or play the ball.

Waving your hands in the air to seemingly indicate 'get up' could easily be taken as 'get up and play the ball' or get up and carry on'. As far as I know, an encouraging wave of your hand isn't a standard sign for play the ball is it?
Why award a pen for an obvious mistake/confusion when there are far more serious (and advantageous to the offending team) things that should be penalised.
