Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/27/2007

David Kallemyn of Carlisle, IA Warren asks...

I'm just staring out and am still a little fuzzy about the mechanics of restarts.

Mechanics 9/24/2007

Joe Griego of Bishop, CA USA asks...

Ok, so I've refereed my first U10 game (where all laws are enforced, not just short-side recommendations) and it was a real eye-opener. I think I called a good game, and boy, parents and coaches *still* second-guessed every little call. I'm gaining...

Mike Owens of Kentwood, MI USA asks...

My question is for advice / philosophy regarding game management.

I am wondering how experienced refs would handle a "rivalry" game. Do you call things tighter? More early yellow cards?

Mechanics 9/22/2007

David Bogosian of Glendale, CA USA asks...

Mechanics 9/20/2007

David Bogosian of Glendale, CA USA asks...

There is a consensus that the proper mechanic for an AR who has seen a goal that the CR has not is to sprint up the sideline towards the halfline. This seems very ambiguous and not very definitive. Has anyone considered having the AR point his flag t...

Mechanics 9/19/2007

Paul of Barstow, CA USA asks...

When a player is injured and the coach goes onto the field must the injured player leave the game? And if so when can he or she be re inserted into the game. Thank you...

Mechanics 9/18/2007

Franco of Bloomington, USA asks...

Would you consider it proper, in this circumstance [16711], for the team taking the kick to question the referee before the kick was made or are they to assume the referee is right and to not question his or her authority? If your answer to this is, ...

G. Levine of Mc Donald, PA USA asks...

I understand that in the US there are three rule systems. Our team plays in the WPIAL (Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League) and PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Association. I also believe I understand Law 11. What I do not unde...
