Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/21/2024

Larry of Danville, CA United States asks...

There is an attacker on a break away with a defender to the side and just slightly behind. The attacker has a very hard touch a yard inside the PA and the ball is clearly headed for the GK to collect. Just after the hard ball touch by the attacker, t...

Law 1- The Field 10/21/2024

Pete Lee of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire United Kingdom asks...

Hi all. I have two questions. 1 - the ball is going towards the corner flag, the keeper and attacker go for the ball, and the ball goes out for a throw-in for the attacking team but the corner flag is taken out and the attacker takes a quick throw be...

Mechanics 10/20/2024

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

I'm watching it in the Czech league this weekend. Most referees whistle almost every kick that is in the attacking half. Although I don't think they ordered a ceremonial kick. I wonder what would have happened if the player kicked it earlier. I hope ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/20/2024

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

Perhaps I could have asked more generally like this: The advantage is nullified by the touch of the referee, substitute or outside agent. (The advantage is nullified by something other than the opponent). Does the player who fouled (SPA, careless) be...

Law 8 - The Start and Restart of Play 10/20/2024

Frank of Camp Hill , PA US asks...

In a tournament game last weekend, a player out of my view went down with a non-contact injury during play. I blew my whistle to stop play for the injury after Team B deflected the ball out of bounds. My restart was dropping the ball to Team A since ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/19/2024

MARV of Bowmanville, Ontario Canada asks...

In the 28th minute of the Arsenal vs Bournemouth FC match, Arsenal defender Saliba was dismissed (after VAR review) for DOGSO. It appeared to me, however, that the Bournemouth attacker was offside. Can you have DOGSO if the player with the obvious go...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 10/18/2024

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

Thank you!

It can be said that in reality there is confusion. There are different pieces of advice, each referee approaches it differently, etc.

To make matters worse, there was this note in the Czech edition of the rules.

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/18/2024

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

Hello,

one more thing about the SPA please.

Advantage is not yet fulfilled (possibly it is a 'wait and see' phase).

S1: A10 is fouled by B5 (SPA, careless). A10 continues to move towards the goal. Moments later, he i...

Law 4 - The Players Equipment 10/17/2024

Euan McLean of Yellowknife, NT Canada asks...

Our Adult Rec League has proposed allowing fitbits and smart watches to be worn during marches. I disagree and believe that they are hazardous and to be considered jewelry. Should watches be considered jewelry? I have seen injuries caused by them in ...
