Mechanics 3/17/2021

Ken of Dallas, TX USA asks...

In higher level matches I do, for free kicks I where the attacker asks for 10, after setting the wall I pretend that I’m laying down a line of vanishing spray making a “tschhhhh” sound while fake holding a can. Usually it gets either “wut was that” o...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 3/15/2021

Lee Phillips of Wolverhampton, UK asks...

Hypothetical situation.
What happens next?
The defending team makes a substitution and the player has to leave on the far side of the pitch. Just as he is walking behind his keepers goal, there is an attack by the opposing team.
The k...

Crebs Crem of Zagreb, Croatia asks...

First of all, thank you very much for your answers, and yes, I assumed that VAR system is in use. Even though the assistant referee raised his/her flag, can VAR and the match officials on the pitch contact with each other, discuss about the situation...

Law 15 - The Throw In 3/8/2021

Mark Krawiec of Rocklin, CA USA asks...

Regarding throw ins.

So, this was called a bad throw. And, though it looks awkward, I can't really see a reason the throw is bad. Feet seem ok. Ball behind ears/head. Uniform, albeit kinda ugly motion. Shouldn't get style points, but what ...

Mechanics 3/8/2021

Matt of Bristow, VA USA asks...

Not a question but more of a statement on the necessity for consistent, proactive officiating. I am in no way faulting the center referee for his actions because I likely would have done the exact same thing. However, having seen this, I think I le...

Thank you for your ...
