Gareth Hughes of Manchester, Stockport England asks...

Whilst Refereeing in a very close game (3-2) something odd happened and although i'm right in law, i don't think other refs have got this wrong as i had a barrage of complaints as it happened last week and was a diferent outcome.

Any way Blu...

Law 5 - The Referee 7/14/2011

Leah of Thornton, Ontario Canada asks...

Hi,

Titus van Wieren of Torri di Quartesolo, VI Italy asks...

Brian Lewis of Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada asks...

Just a follow up on the confromtation with parents.

Unfortunately we do not ususally work in teams but alone and have volunteers to flag the lines, so rarely is there back up. All youth teams are required to list an RL (referee liaison) t...

Law 5 - The Referee 7/6/2011

Doug of Louisville, KY United States asks...

Excellent advice all around. What I struggle with is when one team tolerates more than the other. Seems I would be calling fouls if player A1 fouls B2, but not if B3 fouls A4....

Todd Wendorf of Harrisburg, PA United States asks...

Alright...I will bring up the elephant in the room. On July 3rd, during the Australia-Equatorial Guinea women's match, a defender from Equatorial Guinea appeared to have intentionally handled the ball in the Penalty Area. After holding the ball for...

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I was comparing the answers to this question with # 25121. I'd like to be sure I understand the options that the ref has when a cautionable offense is committed during play.
