Law 5 - The Referee 7/13/2011

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

In response to your answers, I fully agree that potentially the Italians have it wrong but since the game was played in Italy and must be refereed as to FIGC rules, the goal was not a goal.

I have seen in the USA and Canada video clips (not ...

Mark Mayes of Sacramento, CA USA asks...

I am interested to hear your opinions of the controversial calls in today's ladies WC semi-final. When Buehler was sent off for DOGSO I thought Marta jumped feet first to get that call. Both had their arms on each other. On the ensuing encroachme...

Grant of Ontario, Canada asks...

Lady and gentlemen, a question in two parts. After awarding a controversial IDFK for handling what I believed a deliberate pass to the keeper, the attackers unsuccessfully attempted a quick restart. This while I held the whistle at eye level and wa...

Brian Lewis of Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada asks...

Just a follow up on the confromtation with parents.

Doug of Louisville, KY United States asks...

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.

Leah of Thornton, Ontario Canada asks...

Hi,
I recently refereed a U12 game, one team had 8 players and the other team had 16. It was a hot day so the coaches and I had talked about water breaks. The coach of the 8 player team said he would call them. The other coach and I agreed. He di...

Can a referee terminate or abandon a match after a match has been completed? Let me explain. I had just completed officiating a U13 girls tournament match and had observed the team handshakes when a parent from the winning team confronted me, on th...

Jamie Laning of Huntsville, ON Canada asks...

Hi,

Thanks in advance for all your great work.

I had a situation a few nights ago where a player was convinced a call was in order while I thought it was incidental (50/50) contact. The IFAB belief that 'everyone knows' is a proble...
