Law 4 - The Players Equipment 3/10/2020

Rocky of Mumbai, Maharashtra India asks...

Thanks for the clarification but none of the answers are really convincing. Firstly, they contradict the Law which clearly uses the word - 'distinguish', and I suppose it refers to being different. And how can the referee be given the authority to al...

Law 11 - Offside 3/10/2020

Peter Babbage of Hjorring , Denmark asks...

Not so much about a specific law but advice given to top level referees. An incident in the recent Manchester derby had me thinking. Sergio Aguero is played through on goal. Initially he looks offside to me . The assistant raises his flag and I belie...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 3/9/2020

JAMES NEARY of LEXINGTON, SC United States asks...

Scenario:

Law 11 - Offside 3/6/2020

Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 3/5/2020

Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...

Hello,

this scenario, please.

Law 11 - Offside 3/5/2020

Russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

...so if the official reason for not awarding Everton a goal was for offside - a decision made by the VAR team, how on earth did they arrive at that conclusion if it is clearly seen that Mcguire made a deliberate play at the ball - and therefore rese...
