[ayso45-refs] question about un-tied shoes

[Robert L. Henderson]

Generally, there is no need to stop play unless you feel the player is 
in immediate risk.    The player should be told to tie the shoe and can 
do this while play is away from that player, such as at the other end of 
the field.   If play has stopped (for a throw-in, free kick, etc),  you 
may hold up the restart to allow the player to deal with the shoe.
