Hello!

Mechanics 10/12/2022

Donn Milton of Vienna, VA United States asks...

I had this situation a few years ago, and still don't know the best way to handle it:

This was a competitive U16 Division 2 boys match, the last match of the season with implications for promotion to Division 1. Team A is leading 2-1, with...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/10/2022

Douglas Wix of LIVERPOOL, Merseyside United Kingdom asks...

In the Arsenal v Liverpool match there were two penalty issues, one given, one not, yet I didn't see VAR intervene in Either. In my opinion our so called best referee Michael Oliver got both wrong, any thoughts please? Thanks in advance. ...

Law 14 - The Penalty kick 10/9/2022

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

Two additional situations, please.

Second: A1...

Law 14 - The Penalty kick 10/8/2022

Mr. Chris Twining of Wildomar, CA United States asks...

Thank you for all the insight. Maybe I can clarify a bit more. Disregard the player taking the dive. I understand our CF's are not perfect.

Law 14 - The Penalty kick 10/8/2022

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

Hello,

one 'penalty kick' question, please.

Player A1 takes penalty kick. The ball hits the bar. It bounces back to the field and from the goalkeeper into the goal. Team-mate A2 offends.

Can I decide that THE BALL DID...

Mechanics 10/5/2022

Steve of Altadena, us asks...

I think the panel missed an important aspect of the question. The VAR protocols allow for the review of the attacking phase of play ("APP") before a PK.

As the panel noted, the VAR really should have had play stopped sooner, but once VAR ...

Law 14 - The Penalty kick 10/4/2022

Mr. Chris Twining of Wildomar, CA United States asks...

An opposing player takes a dive in the box and a penalty shot is called for. Surprisingly, this isn't what the question is about. The penalty shot is taken and saved by the goalie and play is allowed to continue for over an entire minute before the...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/3/2022

Scott of Livermore, CA US asks...

More handling situations:
1. An attacker kicks the ball and it hits the hands of a nearby defender running at them with their arms outstretched or above their head who is attempting to block the kick. My understanding is that this is handling as...
