Mechanics 9/2/2023

Crebs Crem of Zagreb, Croatia asks...

Hi,

Assume that in the last moments of a game, player A9 is fouled by player B3 when one on one with the keeper. However, the central referee thought it was not a foul and therefore the game went on. After a while, the ball went out of pla...

Efstathios Avgoustiniatos of Houston, TX United States asks...

Assume VAR and a rebound by the offending player. If leaning in did not constitute encroachment, then, in a similar situation of a foul kick, a player could jump ahead and while still in the air block a foul kick cutting the required distance in half...

Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...

I'm a bit confused :-)

In the case of question no. 1, is it a )

Maybe i described question no. 2 wrong. The referee mistakes the place of the offense and allows a free kick to be played instead of a penalty kick. According to VA...

Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...

Hello,

two VAR questions, please.

Mechanics 3/9/2023

Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...

Have a nice day!...

Mechanics 1/18/2023

AEK Fan Club Of NY of ASTORIA, NY USA asks...

Thank you for your replies. IMHO the white player clearly dived, he had no intention to play the ball, he turned his body, closed his eyes, and prayed to get kicked.

Chris of Vancouver , Canada asks...

In the Brazil-Croatia game, the ball hit a Croatian player’s hand in the penalty area, the play continued. Perhaps the ref played advantage, perhaps he didn’t see. In the ensuing play, two shots were taken by Brazil. Both blocked by defenders. Played...

Donn Milton of Vienna, VA United States asks...

I had this situation a few years ago, and still don't know the best way to handle it:

This was a competitive U16 Division 2 boys match, the last match of the season with implications for promotion to Division 1. Team A is leading 2-1, with...

Mechanics 10/5/2022

Steve of Altadena, us asks...

I think the panel missed an important aspect of the question. The VAR protocols allow for the review of the attacking phase of play ("APP") before a PK.

As the panel noted, the VAR really should have had play stopped sooner, but once VAR ...
