Law 16 - The Goal Kick 5/11/2019

Stephen Sheldon of Sydney, NSW Australia asks...

Hi

My question is about goal kicks.

I was told today by a Level 2 referees coach that the only players allowed in the box during a goal kick are the goal keeper and the kicker (if the kicker is not the goalkeeper). That is, a maximu...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 5/11/2019

Brian Lutke of Whistler, BC Canada asks...

I can't find anything in Law 12 that states a foul is nullified if the defender 'touches' the ball during a tackle that would otherwise be deemed a foul. It's frustrating to hear on-air commentators complain of fouls being called after an apparent 't...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 5/11/2019

joe of las vegas, nevada usa asks...

During a game, the defending team used hands to knock down a ball within the penalty area. The ball bounced straight to an offensive player that chipped it up and his teammate headed the ball in. However, the ref blew the play dead at the time of t...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 5/9/2019

don of houston, tx usa asks...

don of houston, tx usa asks...

Thank you for the responses. I do agree about not implementing pro style reffing to lower level matches. I tend not to do that very much, I was more speaking specifically to giving out cautions.

before I started regularly watching professio...

Mechanics 5/8/2019

don of houston, tx usa asks...

something i need to get more used to when watching professional matches an implementing it into my games are how freely refs give out cautions and what they give them for, but at the same time frequently not giving cautions for things that look like ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 5/8/2019

Jason of La Crosse, WI USA asks...

An attacking player takes a shot on goal and the ball is prevented from going into the goal by a defender (who isn't the keeper) who deliberately knocks it away with her hand.

Scenario 1: The ball deflects off the defenders hand back to pla...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 5/8/2019

Randy Knecht of West Chester, OH United States asks...

Along the same lines of this question the Goalie tried to punt the ball and missed it, rolled down her leg. She did not pick it up again but did kick it and was called for an indirect free kick. This did not seem right to me and can't find a rule whe...

Other 5/8/2019

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

Referee Mr McHugh said: 'I adopt zero tolerance in there by the attacking team.' I absolutely agree with this sentence. In my opinion, Zinchenko was not interested in the ball at all. I think that the defending team should be allowed to end these tim...
