WE get players saying "over me" to indicate that they ain;t gonna get there

To be fair, it looks like the photo has had a bit of Photoshop done....... however......

Never thought about it, they come off the sticks and go in the wash with the rest of the kit. NB: It is very important to remember to take them off the handles - trust me!

Yup, I'd give it handball - our codes are defined as 'Deliberate and Blatant Handball' which is under USB anyway.

Yup, a foul is a foul whether player falls over, or goes on to shoot. The decision you have is whether there is enough of an advantage for the attacker, or do you pull it for the penalty. In this case you have called the pen, no advantage gained, fair call. Was it a red for DOGSO? From what...

Second that! I've lost count of the times I've had coaches moaning at me as AR1 because play was in the far corner, ref has his back to me and AR2 doesn't see/doesn't mirror my signal!!!!! I shout 'Ref!'

Gidday ref, ya big Sheila's blouse!

There's no debate if the RED player headed the ball - if the attacker is in an offside position when he heads the ball he is offside as soon as he challenges for the ball. The debate was over when a BLUE defender headed the ball - that's when it becomes a deflection or intention to play, or...

I thought the definitions were clearer this year - if deflected off a defender it's not offside, but if played intentionally, or was an intentional save from the defender, then he is offside (gaining an advantage)

Would depend if Red on back post, is still in an offside position when his teammate heads the ball. It is his position when the ball is headed to him by a team mate that dictates whether he is offside or not. If the ball comes to him off a blue defender, it would depend on whether it was played...

Must admit I always run a left wing diagonal in the middle, never really thought about it other than being advised by an assessor to keep play on my right shoulder. That way, I am usually looking through the action with the AR beyond.

I found that any kind of formatting, such as paragraphs, lists etc meant it wouldn't save.

No, no offence as ball has t be deliberately played to the goalkeeper. Yes, as the ball was deliberately left for the goalkeeper. Although again, not 100% myself, one of those you would have to see i think.

At our coaching night, we were advised that if the ball goes in the direction the defender was attempting to play it, then it's deliberate - so a swing and a slice of the ball is a deflection, a swing and a hoof in the direction he is facing is a deliberate play of the ball. Obvious...

We get same as running the middle.

Yup, playing in a dangerous manner is just that, whether the player is six foot tall, or three foot tall.

Can see that the intention is there, but is 'attempting to circumvent ' punishable, and has the law been circumvented if the keeper uses his feet instead of hands? What advantage has been gained by the header?

We are told that it's a flag as for FK, when ref whistles, quick sprint around the corner flag into position for the penalty. Flag across chest is too similar to the 'Ref, can I have a word?' signal, which would work anyway, as he comes over to talk to you ......

Depends on the circumvention......... If, as has been discussed on other threads, the defender gets on his knees to head the ball to his GK, is that an offence if the GK doesn't pick it up?

Yup - you were correct. The foul was given, then the player kicked out, so you carded him, and restarted play with the original foul. Spot on.
