Law 11 - Offside 1/21/2018Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...I was CR today and an AR, in pre-game chat, asked if he should mark the offside kick where the infraction occurred - or where the player IOP started their run.

Read The Full Q & A Law 7 - The Duration of the Match 10/22/2017Joseph of Concord, CA USA asks...Thoughts on telling players how much time is left in a game if they ask? I have players ask probably 3-4 times a game near the end of each half how much time is left. I would prefer to not tell them or have to look down at my watch and possibly miss ...
Read The Full Q & A Law 4 - The Players Equipment 10/24/2016Steven of Seattle, WA USA asks...Very strange situation happened this weekend that I will probably never have again.

Read The Full Q & A Law 13 - Free Kicks 9/19/2016Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...I guess we have some educating to do in pre-game discussions, to clarify that a kick of some kind is required on IDFKs.

I have a question about mechanics and teamwork with new assistant referees.

Read The Full Q & A Law 11 - Offside 10/26/2015Derek of Cary, IL USA asks...As an AR, should I raise my flag for offside if I don't know who touched the ball last, or if I can't tell that a defender 'played' it? I feel that the referee would have a better view of who touched it last, and would wave me off if the requirement...
Read The Full Q & A Law 15 - Throw In 4/23/2015Jason of Wylie, TX US asks...How strict should we be when it comes to throw-in procedures? More specifically with a foot coming up during the throw.

Read The Full Q & A Mechanics 9/9/2014Jay LaFountain of Coldwater, MI USA asks...To clarify this for you: The reason I ask how is because I know WHAT to do most of the time. I think WHAT to do is pretty easy with regards to the LOTG in a majority of cases, but find as an AR that HOW TO DO IT is the problem that comes up. I'm s...
Read The Full Q & A Pre-Game 3/22/2014Gavin chadbone of Tamworth, Staffs England asks...I am about to ref my first cup semi finals and will have appointed linesmen to help out.
