Question 451 thru 460 of 1182

Law 5 - The Referee 10/28/2011

Brian of Kinnelon, NJ USA asks...

This happened to me in a rec game this week.

There was a scramble in the box, I thought I saw an attacking player tripped and go down.

I blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot. The defending team starts protesting that th...

Law 5 - The Referee 10/26/2011

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Just one comment on procedure. I thought you couldn't card a team official (i.e. a coach), but you could tell them to leave the field or abandon the match. After the match is over, I thought all you could do is report the coach's behavior....

Law 5 - The Referee 10/19/2011

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I have a question about ATR §5.13. It says, in part, 'If the referee discovers after play has restarted that the wrong player was...sent off...the display of the card cannot be changed...'.

Why is that?

Suppose that an AR tells the...

Aaron of Chicago, IL USA asks...

Panel,

A few months ago I took a referee course, and in the course we were given a situation to think about that went roughly like this:
---
Red is attacking the blue goal, when a ball is passed near a red attacker who is in an offsi...

Law 5 - The Referee 10/18/2011

Gabe Rieger of Lake Jackson, TX USA asks...

Thanks for the follow-ups. That is what I thought, but wanted to confirm. Yes, it was a harmless mistake, as she is learning the position and simply stepped across the line before punting. It should be a warning, and I am always on them from the s...

Law 5 - The Referee 10/18/2011

Terence W. McGarvey of Kirksville, USA asks...

I read the various referee replies to the situation. Most of you seem to think if the game was over the ref would have 'lost' his authority (except for obvious violence, etc.), though one you believes that while in his right to issue the card, it sh...

Law 5 - The Referee 10/17/2011

Joe of Marysville, Ohio USA asks...

Ball is in the penalty area. Goal keeper makes play on the ball in penatly area and is injured in the attempt. No blood is visible but goalie is laying face down in penalty area, but outiside goalie box. Play is allowed to continue for approx 10 s...

Law 5 - The Referee 10/16/2011

Al of Strathroy, ON Canada asks...

Just another comment to help Chris. I often say to other team, 'If that happened to your defender, no Penalty Kick in MY game.'

TV? Most recent USSF Week in Review 'handles' a similar situation. Unfortunately the Referee got it wrong.

Law 5 - The Referee 10/15/2011

Adam Abrahams of Cranleigh, Surrey UK asks...

I reffed an Under 9s game today. A defender punched the ball into his own net. I think he panicked and tried to punch it clear of goal but it ended up in his own goal. Penalty or allow the goal? Because handball happened a fraction first, I gave the ...

Law 5 - The Referee 10/15/2011

Andrew Page of Pleasanton, California United States asks...

If I see a serious foul but the person who was fouled has a clear advantage, can I give the advantage and once play has stopped (goal, goal kick, throw in), then I go back and card the person who fouled?...
