NO that would be cheating.

--------------------

Well, not cheating per se, but kicking a loose ball would result in a 15-yard penalty for illegal kicking.

The only legal kicks are punts, placekicks and dropkicks, and they each are allowed only in certain circumstances.

BTW... You'd probably get better responses if you posted this question under Football Rules, not Basketball Rules. :-)

The referee stops play because a player was in touch What did the referee spot?

Assuming the player in touch caused the reason for stoppage (not some other player on the pitch) then it had to have been some form of misconduct. A foul cannot happen off the field of play. The referee would not stop play merely because a player left the field as long as he did it in the normal course of play.

Is ball to hand still allowed in football?

It is technically still allowed, but it is rarely phrased like that. The key is, does the referee feel there was the intention to move towards the ball, or was there an attempt to move the hand/ arm out of the way of the ball. If the referee thinks the the player unintentionally hit the ball, then it is ball to hand, and play continues.

Can a player be cautioned after the match has ended?

The referee is allowed to caution or send off a player or substitute after a match has ended. In most leagues, the resulting consequences (i.e. sitting out future matches) will be the same.Even if a card is not shown, say a referee is approached in the parking lot, the behavior will still be included the game report and the consequences would still be the same. Showing the card is merely a method of communicating. The referee's failure to do so does not absolve the player from the consequences of their actions.

What is allowed to touch the net?

The ball is allowed to touch the net. No part of any player is allowed to touch the net. Players may touch the ground on the opponents side of the net with their foot as long as they pick their foot up directly up off the ground and bring it back to their side of the court. They may not drag their foot back to their side of the court. If a player falls and lands on the opponents side of the court it is considered "under the net" and causes a point and/or sideout.
