Mechanics 10/7/2015

Brad Heers of Plymouth, Michigan United States asks...

This scenario raises two questions in me that revolve around 'interpretation' and practical game management.

The example cited is of a keeper dropping the ball due to 'dissenting-level' distraction of the opposing coach, then reacquiring t...

Mechanics 10/3/2015

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I know you've answered this question before. But I still have problems with it in practice. I referee 11-12 year olds for AYSO mainly.

Mechanics 9/29/2015

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I have a question about something referee Joe McHugh said about the flag in the wrong hand.

Law 3 - Number of Players 9/14/2015

Matt of BRISTOW, VA United States asks...

I have two questions on mechanics.

Last night, I was AR1 (on the teams' touchline) for a match. Early in the second half, the visiting team scored the game's first goal. After play was restarted, the home team's parents notified the other ...

Mechanics 8/26/2015

Brad of Plymouth, MI USA asks...

I am curious about a general question, and then in answering two specific scenarios around it.

In a general sense, the question: 'Is it allowable to simultaneously book a player or substitute for two distinct cautions, thus resulting in an ...

Mechanics 8/12/2015

Sam of York, North Yorkshire England asks...

I'd like to ask a question about 'fair play goals'

Moving away from what's sporting and what isn't, what are the rules about a team surrendering a goal on purpose?

If a keeper did this for money to affect a betting market, then it w...

Nate of Spokane, Washington United States asks...

If a foul occurs that both causes an injury and warrants a card, should I show the card first or look at the injured player first?...

Mechanics 8/5/2015

Matt of BRISTOW, VA United States asks...

A comment/statement of opinion more so than a question. One factor not explicitly mentioned in the replies was the impact of the language on the tenor of the game going forward. Several of the panel mentioned the emotions connected with the use of ...
