Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 12/15/2015

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, Virginia United States asks...

I don't always bring up calls (or non-calls) that might be wrong! Actually, most of the time a call I think was wrong, I realize watching the replay was correct. I wanted to post this one because I thought it was interesting.

Law 11 - Offside 12/15/2015

This past week, I had a girls HS match. Several knee braces, unaltered from the manufacturer. Three girls went down after a ball, two came up. The girl on the ground had bashed her head on a modern knee brace, the kind with a hard circular piece on e...

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I have a follow up to Q# 29991.
