    Overhead kick

    Hi For me a definite caution. It is certainly reckless. The 2015 had the following advice to referees "" Playing in a dangerous manner involves no physical contact between the players. If there is physical contact, the action becomes an offence punishable with a direct free kick or penalty kick...

    Extra player on the FOP

    Hi No takers here so went directly to IFAB. An email from David Elleray has replied that Play should be stopped and when the referee stops play then this is, in effect, an 'interference' and the restart would be a DFK from the point of interference or as he suggests restart from the location...

    Keepers and DOGSOs

    Hi Not sure what the fuss is about. Ever since DOGSO was introduced referees found ways to not send off players, going away from goal, no control of the ball, covering defenders, too far from goal etc. the 4Ds not being present. those conditions still exist and all that has happened is that with...

    Extra player on the FOP

    Under the new laws the extra player offence has been amended. Is having a 12th player on the field not involved in play considered interference? If not does the referee have to wait until the ball goes out of play to deal with it? Where is the restart from if play is stopped if there is no...

    Pass Back

    Hi Too many refs do not want the hassle so GK play on that by picking up questionable ones as they are happy to risk that. When one is given queue all sorts of protests. If the defender controlled the ball and leaves it for the GK then it is a deliberate pass. It has become somewhat like the...

    Player numbers at KFTPM and 'fair play'

    Hi Fail to understand how a team that has to reduce to equate can have 11 players on the FOP? I had KFTPM at the weekend and one team had a player sent off so I told the opponents that they could reduce by one who did not have to take a PK. They asked if it could be the GK and I said that if he...

    Player numbers at KFTPM and 'fair play'

    I'm with ASM on this. The quotes relates to the goalkeeper that is substituted not the replacement one. The only anomaly I can see is where the substituted GK has taken a penalty before being replaced so the question arises as to whether the new GK has to take a kick as the 12th kicker or can he...

    Open Age Whistling for decisions.

    Hi At one time the laws had this statement Law 5 Decision 8 "" 'The Laws of the Game are intended to provide that games should be played with as little interference as possible, and in this view it is the duty of referees to penalise only deliberate breaches of the Law. Constant whistling for...

    Player numbers at KFTPM and 'fair play'

    Hi It is not up to the referee to decide the order of kicks and the entering substitute GK will have to take a kick at some point. He is not excused from a kick. The anomaly only arises where the GK has already taken a kick before being replaced so Team A will have taken 11 kicks and the...

    Player numbers at KFTPM and 'fair play'

    Hi The previous wording stated ""If a player is injured or sent off during the taking of kicks from the penalty mark and the team has one player fewer, the referee should not reduce the number of players taking kicks for the other team. An equal number of players from each team is required...

    Substitution after receiving treatment

    Even without the rule change most taps forward went back anyway with the next kick. The only real change that it has made is allowed the 2nd player at the kick offs to now be elsewhere

    Player numbers at KFTPM and 'fair play'

    The law does not distinguish in reduce to equate whether it is a GK or not. It simply afford the opponents the opportunity to pick a player that s it weakest kicker to be removed. It does make a difference if the 11th kicker is the opponents 1st choice and it is the 11th choice for the non...

    So the lone player takes the kick off, but short then plays it again.

    Hi With the lone kicker it is now a clearer double touch infringement. IDFK from where the second touch happened

    Substitution after receiving treatment

    Hi I see no reason why a referee would prevent this. Take the serious situation of a stretcher removal. Clearly the substitution can take place immediately. Many times teams may give the injured player an opportunity to see if he can come back and play continues. If they know he cannot then it...

    New DOGSO law

    Hi I welcome the decision in that gives the referee more discretion in the matter. The genuine "foul" that happens now does not gave to be punished by a red card. The hack down, pull back, push which are only an attempt to foul is still a red card. Referees make decisions and sure the current...

    Connahs quay Europa cup handball claim

    Hi Not deliberate handling. The ball hit the player on the hand. Not a clue where the ball was and he fully expected it to go across him not back towards him. What it again highlights is the real need to sort out DHB. At half way it might be given as a cop out and not a word about it. As it is...

    Kicking one ball into another (video)

    Hi Hindsight is 20/20 vision. If the player had kicked the ball out over the line as many would do would the ref stop play? No would be the answer. In this instance it was just plain stupid and the player knew clearly what he was doing kicking it at the other ball. Caution and an IDFK.

    Corner kick

    Hi If we go back far enough a corner kick was taken one yard from the corner flag with no arc. The arc was introduced to bring order to the placement. Now we can argue forever about technicalities and what the law says or doesn't say yet the accepted practise at all levels including the very...

    Persistent swearing in a non-abusive context

    Hi P43 Decisions will be made to the best of the referee`s ability according to the Laws of the Game and the ‘spirit of the game’ and will be based on the opinion of the referee who has the discretion to take appropriate action within the framework of the Laws of the Game. P 163. Verbal or...

    Re-take or IDFK the other way

    Hi For me it is a retake and it is on the whistle. Just stop it, tell the player loudly it is on the whistle , move to your location and restart. If you want to be very picky it is an IDFK for a double touch provided you are 100% certsinly it was taken in line with Law 13
