Character, Attitude and Control 4/28/2016

Mike Green of Woodbridge, VA USA asks...

During a U11 competitive game a player tugged on a shirt at midfield disrupting an attack. There was no advantage, and I blew the foul then stopped play to issue a warning rather then caution the player. The coach of the fouled team objected that I s...

Law 11 - Offside 4/28/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Referee McHugh mentions 3 ways that a PIOP is no longer offside. The second one:
'2 The opponents gain complete control of the ball without interference from the player in an offside position '

Other 4/28/2016

Matt of Bristow, VA 20136 asks...

Not a question but a comment.

In addition to the assignor, there may be club/league Director of Referees or similar position whose job it is to help the referees develop. Even if not, it wouldn't hurt to mention the issue to the League/Cl...

Hi

My U19 boys team was playing a game that had just started, about 3 or 4 minutes into the game. My player committed a foul for a harsh tackle (to me the tackle was appropriate for the age level). The referee gave my player a yellow. Side n...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 4/27/2016

Clint of Erie, PA USA asks...

The ref awarded a direct kick after a foul. When she was setting the wall the team taking the kick moved the ball forward. The defending team pointed it out and she asked her AR who confirmed the ball was moved. She moved the ball back about 2yds,...

Law 11 - Offside 4/27/2016

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Similarly, if the player had been 30 yards offside when a deflected pass came toward him¦ he could let it go out of bounds and immediately take the throw-in or corner kick.

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/27/2016

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Reffing a women's rec game. Attacker is stood still, shielding the ball against a defender who is blocking her best path to the goal. Players are a good yard apart.

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/27/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

As a practical matter, the referee usually doesn't know if there's a PIOP because the AR won't flag it until the PIOP affects play & the referee is focused on the play near the ball. The fouled player probably won't realize it either.

Kicks From The Penalty mark 4/27/2016

Randy A. Pew of Fairfield, Idaho Camas asks...

Keep in mind this is not a penalty kick situation, but rather the method to decide the match winner.
