If by judge you mean referee, then he did the right thing.
Nowhere in the rules (which you should read by the way) says anything about having to wait for a whistle.
The only time a game is restarted by the whistle is for a retake (Starting the match/2nd half/a penalty/ after a goal is scored). A player can take the free kick at any time he chooses, unless he asks for the wall to be a full 10 yards away. The referee will then tell the kick taker to wait for the whistle while he makes sure the wall is a full 10 yards.

Giggs told the ref to go away and he got on with the game...GOAL.
Cue mardarse Frenchmen spitting out their dummies and throwing their toys around. They should, like you, read the rulebook.
