Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 7/14/2016

Ryan Cobelli of Kennesaw, GA USA asks...

In a mass confrontation, the 3rd player into the mix is also observed throwing a punch. Once everything has been sorted out, should the referee show the player a yellow card then a red card or just the red card?...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 7/14/2016

former youth ref of Hordaland, Norway asks...

Two pet peeves from televised matches I would value your input on:

1. Referees nearly never caution players for faking injuries after genuine fouls. As a single successful simulation may give the other team a card, this is frustrating. A sub...

Law 11 - Offside 7/14/2016

former youth ref of Hordaland, Norway asks...

A player (A1) from team A takes a shot while A2 is in an offside position. The shot is deflected by B1 while B2 is in an offside position. The deflection sends the ball to the other (mostly deserted) side of the field. The closest players are A2 and ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 7/13/2016

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Euro final.

For those players and fans who like to yell 'hand ball' every time a ball hits a hand or an arm, I wonder who saw the French 'hand ball' at 56:11.

The ball was bouncing around in the French PA and defender #21 made a fr...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 7/13/2016

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Re: the Euro final and the handball call in extra time that Mr. Clattenberg awarded to the wrong team.

The resulting free kick came SO close to going in and it would have been such a travesty if THAT had been the goal to win the final.

Law 13 - Free Kicks 7/13/2016

Alan Parkes of Waingroves, Derbyshire England asks...

The goalkeeper is on his goal line. There is no pressure on a defender who passes back to his goalkeeper to kick it clear. The goalkeeper doesn't move from his goal line. He makes a mistake and picks up the ball.
What should the referee do? Free ...

Law 7 - Match Duration 7/12/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I'm confused about something that Referee Jason Wright said.

It was my understanding that the rules for a PK when time was extended for it & KFTPM are the same...that is, the kicker gets one kick & only the GK can try to stop the goal, & the...

Law 9 - The Ball in and out of Play 7/12/2016

Todd of fort wayne, IN United States asks...
