Law 11 - Offside 9/24/2021

Larry of Danville, CA USA asks...

It is clear to me that when a defender jumps to head a ball or dives in front of a kick they are making a deliberate play, and by current Law this resets offside. But when is a block or header of a kick considered a save? If an attacker's kick is cle...

Law 8 - The Start and Restart of Play 9/22/2021

Peter of Stockton, CA United States asks...

Just watched Manchester United Vs West Ham. Surely Bruno's goal should have stood. He was 4M away, the referee : In all other cases, the referee drops the ball for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touche...

Law 11 - Offside 9/22/2021

Mark Flynn of Glendale, AZ United States asks...

Thanks for the excellent replies gentlemen. I am now leaning even more to the wrong call being made. In this clip, the mexican defender blocks and the ball is deflected into the net. Now imagine if there was a US player in an offside position, and th...

Law 11 - Offside 9/21/2021

Mark Flynn of Glendale, AZ United States asks...

Har Rymam of Athens, Non-US Greece asks...

Hello

Thank you both for your replies.

I clearly disagree with you there was a penalty preceding the offensive foul for case #3.
#6 of yellow instantly holds and releases the goal scorer, but clearly outside the penalty box...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/20/2021

Jason Cole of Lacrosse , WI United States asks...

Regarding this Joao Felix incident -https://youtu.be/bn3lkxSN-zQ about 3 minutes in - would it have been better to give the foul for the pullback, and then also a card to Felix for the strike? Have you ever done anything like that? Any part of thus y...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/20/2021

Caleb of Natick, MA United States asks...

My question is about the recent changes to Law 12 related to handballs.

If I read the summary of the changes, it appears that the primary material change is the "Removal from the accidental attacking handball offense of the references to a...

Please checkout the following cases from the linked video:

Case #1: At 10:47 number 26 in yellow gets kicked in the face by player number 11 in white and black. Is it a red card?

Crebs Crem of Zagreb, Croatia asks...

Thank you very much for your answers.
In the case that Referee Richard Dawson told, if the free-kick did not find its target but the spitting of the attacker on the defender still occurred, as far as I understand the correct restart is to retake...
