Mechanics 10/24/2007

Stan of Sebastian, FL USA asks...

In follow up [17421] , neither of the boys was injured - thankfully. The referee crew appeared to be new, inexperienced young ladies (about 16). After the game, it appeared the assignor or some assessor was there to give them much needed feedback.

Mark of Westport, CT 06880 asks...

I would hope that the coaches in this situation would have the courage to pull their team off the field. If the environment is dangerous because the referee has lost control of the match(or never had it) the coach has an obligation to protect his pl...

Scott of Huntington Beach, CA USA asks...

Hi,

Sarah K of San Antonio, TX USA asks...

Thanks for the answers to my last questions (and yes, I meant penalty area, not goal area). Now another one for you:

Dave Eberle of Clarkston, Washington USA asks...

Hit and Runs

Mechanics 10/20/2007

Chris Riffenburg of Redford, MI USA asks...
