You can't enforce 1 part of the statement but not enforce the 2nd part. If you take away both options we can't legally continue to put the ball in play. After the penalty R will still have the option to free kick if they choose to.
Ack ... you beat me to it!!! (I'll leave my other post anyway, but WH52 said it before I did.)
