With Q3, while Jan's answer may be correct and the most correct option, it's not the complete correct answer. The correct answer is a dropped ball to the goalkeeper in the penalty area (which may or may not be where the original ball became defective). This Q and the A seem to be inline with the...
The new laws have a discounted sanction for non-deliberate handball.
Was it handball? Yes
Did you give a penalty? Yes
Was the ball going into goal? Absolutely
Is it a red card? It depends
This is your interpretation of "Players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards". It clearly doesn't say referees are not responsible for the judgement or enforcing it. It just says players are responsible for it's size and stability. They are also responsible for...
GOOD: "shinguards – these must be made of a suitable material and be of an appropriate size to provide reasonable protection and be covered by the socks. "
Now everyone can agrees size is important. 😂
BAD: "Players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards"
What does this...

The 30 seconds part is not a law. Leaving the field is a law which also applies to grassroots but there are some exceptions. For example if the injury if from a foul that results in a a yellow card.
Can anyone tell me if there is any other place on earth except on a football pitch, when a person is about to fall, their hands go up in the air instead of down towards the ground to break their fall?
I have been in a similar situation before. It's not a technical mistake but a game management mistake. The team with free kick took advantage of it and went on a promising attack. That's when I realized what happened and stopped the game immediately. The attacking team moaned a bit but bought my...
Hi Graham.
Kudos for recognizing your error and more so for admitting to it. You have done the right thing for reporting it. Also from my view point a formal apology to the teams is appropriate but some may disagree. Though my recommendation is to tone down the wording of the apology letter...
