Law 11 - Offside 3/5/2020

Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

...so if the official reason for not awarding Everton a goal was for offside - a decision made by the VAR team, how on earth did they arrive at that conclusion if it is clearly seen that Mcguire made a deliberate play at the ball - and therefore rese...

Ezra Hein of Longview, TX United States asks...

In regards to the double touch that a goalkeeper might commit on a botched goal kick, I understand that an IFK is awarded to the attacking team. My question is whether there are any additional sanctions that could be given to the goalkeeper (red or y...

Law 11 - Offside 2/29/2020

Jonny Gray of Villamartin, Orihuela Costa Spain asks...

With all the VAR controversy with offside, can you explain why it differs from goal line technology where there has to be clear daylight over the line to be a goal. In fact its the same for corners and throw-ins too, so why with offside is it the opp...

Other 2/27/2020

Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

I don't even believe what I was saying is a pre planned approach - as I'm sure it is not the case - but thinking about it at least passes time on the boring morning commute !!
Not for a second do I really think it is set up like that with any pre...

Law 5 - The Referee 2/25/2020

Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

Law 16 - The Goal Kick 2/23/2020

Rey villarreal of San angelo, Texas United States asks...

If the goalie on the goal kick sets the ball down and then picks it up to place on the opposite corner of the box is it considered a foul? There was no wasting of time involved, the play happened quickly.
