Law 13 - Free Kicks 2/21/2017

Gray O'Brien of Santa Monica, CA USA asks...

With time running out, an IFK foul committed by the defending goalkeeper occurs in the penalty area about 5 paces outside the goal area (teammate directly passes ball back to her keeper, keeper picks up ball in her hands). The CR for some reason tell...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 2/21/2017

russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

A follow on from the post from Kenneth (2/18/17) regarding the DOGSO - common sense.

In reference to the new conditions around genuine attempt to play the ball that still deny a goal scoring opportunity and as such a red card is not automati...

League Specific 2/20/2017

Mark of South Bay, CA USA asks...

Your "missed ferry" scenario (& question 30183) and references to the Rules of Competition (ROC) got some of us thinking that our youth recreational league rules need to be updated to provide guidance in potential messy situations.

Our reg...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 2/20/2017

saul of chicago, IL USA asks...

A defender hanging from his own goal denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity by heading the ball. We are clear on the new amendment of not sending off the player for DOGSO and just caution him if he intended to play the ball but commits a careless...

Law 17 - The Corner Kick 2/20/2017

Gary Voshol: IDFK with dismissal.
Joe Ma...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 2/20/2017

russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

I might be putting my head on the chopping block again with this one - but, heck, better to ask the question if in doubt/confused/inexperienced.

Why did the fulham player not have a DFK awarded to him in this tackle moment, yet the Spurs pla...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 2/20/2017

Zluvka of Liberec, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...

Context: Player stepped on the opponent's instep in challenge for the ball. Opponent did not fall. He stood. It seemed that the referee saw it. Player was upset. I cannot imagine legal contact with sole. Some examples, when is it legal, please....

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 2/20/2017

russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

In a recent post, I questioned how sometimes things just happen as part of play (the Penalty awarded to Arsenal in the UCL match), and the panel pointed out the merits of the decision.
I live and learn :)

Still, my confusion (or is that...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 2/20/2017

russell of Sydney, Australia asks...

Challenges after shots taken.

In the Barcelona v Leganes match, Messi is played in by Suarez for a shot on goal, in which the keeper makes a good block.

A Leganes defender looks to have cleaned out Messi after the shot, and seeing w...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 2/20/2017

Greg Kall of Hillsborough, CA USA asks...

Under law 13, Free Kicks, section 3 states that 'an opponent who deliberately prevents a free kick being taken quickly must be cautioned for delaying restart of play'
