Yeah, I am really impressed with how it's been put together.

No, I'm not sure why I said carry. I meant dribble.

But, of course, you're never going to book for SPA or DOGSO if you've also played advantage. In any case, I agree with you entirely that the point of this video is not to discuss misconduct, so there would be no reason to expect it to be discussed.

CONCACAF has released their first public video for the Centre for Refereeing Excellence. In this, the Director of Officials, discusses the application of advantage for 20 minutes. Worth a watch.

What if players were given 5 yards and had to carry the ball into the FoP instead of a throw in? Play resumes when the attacker crosses the touchline.

Congrats and good luck!

That's possible. Usually, my GPS has me doing about 7km on a line, but it is not extraordinary (a couple of times a season) for me to hit 10. Come to think of it, that may include warm-up too.

Yeah organized defences and patient build-up play will lead to a lower overall work rate for assistant referees. Unfortunately, I see a lot more long balls in my games than one might find when refereeing Barcelona and Juventus.

It is funny because 6 matches is what came immediately to my mind too. 6 seems to be the "this is very serious" punishment.

I guess you don't run the line very often, and note that you seem to have a pretty sizable chip on your shoulder about referee fitness. Regardless, Assistant Referees run a great deal. In a match where the referee runs, say, 12 KM, I will run about 10 as an Assistant. While there is a good...

Well, with the coronavirus closing everything down, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be waiting a while for this.

The Copa Libertadores is probably the most dramatic competition in the world. I love it.

Even with the still image, it's Adebayor so we know he wasn't exactly sprinting in for the ball.

I mean, the defenders should know where they are on the pitch. That's a massively important part of defending.
