Caution? i think not. Silly on the team for passing the ball back to the GK. I bet in another game when a pen is awarded against them (wrongfully), the opp will not be as kind. However if a GK refuses to face the kicker, and the ball enters the net - then a retake is required. GK must face...

again i say common sense. Law 18.

All the more reason for him to keep his mouth quiet. If he reacts poorly, the team looses a manager and a player.

what ever happened to common sence? Start with warning then booking. Did you book him before the game started?

On a side note: Player enters field. Is involved with play. Referee does not notice. Goal scored. Game restarted ....... What's next? A - With the player still being on the field when you realise after the restart? B - With player having left the field, however you later realised that...

All players must be in their defending half before play can resume. You cannot restart a game if only 7 players are in their defending half while the remaining 4 are not. But i like your thinking.

A player cannot wear anything that is a danger to themselves or others - as stated in laws of game. Although i don't think they sell metal studs any more. I don't even know anyone that wears them.

the rule in this case is simple - never celebrate in your defending half.

You cannot have an indirect free kick if there is contact between two players. Where there is contact then it must always be a direct free kick. eg: impeding the goalkeeper at taking of the corner. - no contact = in direct - contact = direct.

Are you sure indirect free kick? A boot thrown is similar to a punch. Why Indirect? Where do you take the indirect free kick? Where it is thrown or where it hit the player? Handball is always direct. Remember keepers cannot be caught for handball if in their box. So if a keeper throws a...

Attacker - No caution for leaving the field as play led the attacker to momentarily leave the pitch. Defender - Caution for unsporting behaviour (you can also argue leaving the field of play) Restart - Drop ball

These questions are fantastic! Re: Boot thrown I believe it is a red card and in direct free kick from where ball was when play stopped. But i do stand to be corrected, THE HARDER QUESTION IS: 1) player thrown a boot at an opponent 2) player throws boot at the ball

I don't agree with number 3 -------- its an indirect free kick from where play was stopped. • the players concerned are cautioned • the match is restarted with an indirect free kick, to be taken by a player of the opposing team from the position of the ball at the time of the stoppage (see Law...

GREAT QUIZ QUESTION Ball in play - Both players on field of play - Direct free kick from point of incident Ball out of play - restart according to laws of the game (ie throw in, corner etc) Ball in play - play stopped to issue caution (eg dissent etc) - Indirect free kick where play stopped...

Reports on referees performances (from disgruntled teams) go straight in the bin. I doubt they would even have time to write it. You have to remember superstars play in the lower leagues, particularly leagues with club AR's. (sic) I always reply with ---"you want better referees, go play in a...
