Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 11/1/2015

Robert Mestman of Huntington Beach, CA USA asks...

Regarding goalkeeper/opponent collisions, take a look at this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdwuTjzJ5wo
Is there a foul and, if so, against whom? I guess the keeper was seriously injured (needed to go to ER) and the AR appears to si...

Law 3 - Number of Players 11/1/2015

Robert of Olympia, WA USA asks...

We have a league here that does a more advanced substitution method. In the first half, players cannot re-enter the game once substituted, but in the second half they are allowed one re-entry after being subbed.

Tracking first half subs is e...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 11/1/2015

Jeff B of Suwanee, GA US asks...

I'm curious as to the reasoning here. In the scenario given, after first awarding a goal, the attacker admitted to handling the ball. If, after questioning the attacker, you deem that he is in fact guilty of deliberately handling the ball, why would ...

Law 11 - Offside 10/31/2015

steve h of irvine, ca usa asks...

During our game, all of our players except our goalie were in opponent side of the field and the ball was kicked from opponent side of the field to one of our opponent in our side of the field.

Law 7 - Match Duration 10/31/2015

Ant Vines of Nottingham, notts England asks...

In the Premier League, If the referee has measured the amount of injury time at 90 minutes as say 2 minutes and 45 seconds, what does he indicate to the 4th official as the amount of injury time for the board? And then how long does he allow the game...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/30/2015

Russell of Sydney, Aistralia asks...

As a proud Aussie, I'm disappointed we were torn apart by the Nigerian team in the FIFA U-17 World Cup Round of 16.
As a keen follower of football - gee the Nigerian's were good.
Some excellent goals, some rubbish defending, and a surely a q...

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

I side with being proactive, in staying close to the play and using my voice to nip trifles before they escalate, or to state that I have seen something (such as a non-DHB hand contact) but 'keep going.'

I also like to inform attackers and d...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/28/2015

mary Ramirez-de-Arellano of damascus, MD USA asks...

If the goalie had the ball between his hands (he is down on the ground with it) but lets go of it , it rolls away and the opponent kicks it in, is it a goal?

And at any level I have this question: do you whistle fouls on opponents when they...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/28/2015

Victor Blackburn of Beaufort, SC United States asks...

I was officiating a U13 match the other day. An attacker dribbles through the defense, shoots and it deflects off the keeper back to the player and from my view it looked as if he played it back down legally, off of his chest back to his foot, and sc...

Mechanics 10/28/2015

james of new york, ny usa asks...

Whether a center or assistant referee, I generally refrain from verbally calling out things such as 'watch the pushing/holding/arms/etc'. I feel that if a foul is occurring, I should call it rather than giving players 'warnings' like this, or if ther...
