Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/15/2017

Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

In the Recent Liverpool v ManU was there an off the FOP incident unnoticed.

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/13/2017

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, VA United States asks...

This one is much less clear-cut to me than the last one. This was called a foul (in the box resulting in a PK) against the blue defender. Looked more to me like #30 red initiated the charge and then just fell, more like a no call.

Law 11 - Offside 10/13/2017

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/13/2017

Law 1- The Field 10/11/2017

Michael Justin of Sydney, NSW Sydney asks...

I once reffed a game and (warning some might find this disturbing) a cats head was on the field, I did not want to touch it and neither did the players, it was in the corner so we played on, is this the right call or should I wait next time, (there w...

Law 11 - Offside 10/11/2017

Michael Justin of Sydney, NSW Sydney asks...

The ball rebounds off keeper and to a player in an offside position? is it offside? Does the rule change just because it is a keeper?...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/11/2017

Michael Justin of Sydney, NSW Sydney asks...

I recall hearing somewhere that if a keeper was to chuck his shinpad at an opposing player in the box, it would be a IDFK, is this correct or is it a penalty? ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/10/2017

Dave Bermingham of Herndon, Virginia United States asks...

Referencing the first part of the question on charging, Ref McHugh provided a concise description of the difference between strong and foul play particularly when players are in close proximity to each other. It is an easy decision if one player has ...
