Law 8 - The Start and Restart of Play 3/27/2022

Crebs Crem of Zagreb, Croatia asks...

Hi,

Referee Joe McHugh told all the opposing players must be outside the penalty area if the ball is dropped for the defensive goalkeeper, but isn’t it “all the players (of both teams except for the defensive goalkeeper) need to stay outsi...

Law 15 - The Throw In 3/26/2022

George of Panorama, South Australia Australia asks...

Thanks for your responses. To put everyone's mind at ease the player was instantly red carded and sent from the field. The AR was fine but unable to continue with the match. The tolerance threshold for where the throw in should be taken was merely th...

Law 15 - The Throw In 3/22/2022

George of Adelaide, South Australia Australia asks...

A question about the position on the side line from where a throw in should be taken. We are usually advised that somewhere within a metre or two of the place is good enough as long as any undue advantage doesn’t eventuate. I was the centre for an u1...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 3/19/2022

Dávid of Budapest, Hungary asks...

The defender passes the ball to his keeper, and it takes a slight deflection on the opposing attacker's leg. Is the keeper allowed to take the ball into his hands or does the prohibition of the back-pass rule still apply?...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 3/14/2022

Ryan of Phoenix, AZ USA asks...

Thank you all for the input. Luckily, this was just a Sunday league type of league, just some adults kicking the ball and running around for fun so the score doesn't matter (and the team I took the goal away from "won' anyway). I know about gotcha re...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 3/13/2022

Ryan of Phoenix, AZ USA asks...

For the "attacker in a defensive wall of 3+ players" rule, how should the referee manage this before the kick? I gave a free kick about 20-22 yards from goal. Kicker asked for 10, 3 man wall was lined up in front of the penalty spot, and an attacker ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 3/12/2022

Crebs Crem of Zagreb, Croatia asks...

Hello,
I have a question about dropped ball. For example, a player of team A makes a shot towards opponent’s goal. The ball passes everbody and is clearly going into the net. However, one of the outside agents enters into the pitch enter clears ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 3/11/2022

Doug Crawford of Folsom, CA US asks...

Hi there - how about the fact that the contact was hip to hip (a "hip check") instead of shoulder to shoulder.
I agree the ball was definitely in playing distance for the player in black with just half a step.
I have never seen hip cont...
