Law 11 - Offside 9/9/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I just watched this about 10 times in super slow motion. I don't think it's so clear that there's an offside infringement. While Morata comes from an offside position at the time of the pass, it appears to me that the defender who fell tried to cha...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 9/9/2016

Carlos Cardenas of Fort Lauderdale, FL USA asks...

Helo, my question is about an Indirect Free Kick inside the defending team's area. (It was warded because the goalie picked up the ball from a team mate throw in) The ball was located very close to the area limit.

Normally, a player gently...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/9/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

It seems to me that several sections of the new laws apply. Where the substitute throws a bottle at an opponent who is inside the substitute's penalty are, regardless of where the substitute is, it should be a PK & red card.

The interferenc...

Kicks From The Penalty mark 9/8/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

So this means that the last kicker's missed goal wouldn't count, is that right? In other words, red would get to kick again?

But what would happen if red had made the shot? I assume it would count & they would reduce to equate when the inj...

If a ball rebounds off the goalie, can a different offensive player crashing the goal from the other side be called offside when going for the rebound?

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/8/2016

William Ocampo of Houston, TX USA asks...

Can a keeper yell 'keeper' when out of the goalie box but still inside the penalty area when opponents are also challenging the ball. If this intimidates an opponents from playing the ball, is this not unsporting behavior. There is no need to call ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/8/2016

Michael Grudinschi of Tucson, AZ United States asks...

I want to make sure I understand a couple of rule changes correctly:

1) A rule change says that a offence against a referee while the ball is in play is not restarted with a IFK any longer, but a DFK. Does this mean that if a player assault...

Law 15 - Throw In 9/7/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Law 15.1 (throw-in) now specifically says the ball must be thrown with both hands. The explanation says this is to prevent a one handed throw with the other hand just guiding.

In the past, some referees would penalize a throw-in where the b...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 9/7/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Under the new LOTG, 12.9, the referee can (on rare occasions)allow advantage to be played on a red card offense. I want to see if I understand what happens.

Suppose blue attacker A1 is dribbling toward red goal. Red D1 does a tackle with e...

Law 11 - Offside 9/7/2016

K Butler of Chicago, Illinois United States asks...

thanks for the citation by Joe McHugh to the UEFA guidelines. Referee Peter Grove makes reference to guidelines from FIFA. Can you please tell me the source of these guidelines? If they are published, I'd like to refer others to the source....
