Fox40 whistles. Either the Classic or the Mini, depending on your preference for size, both give good control over tone and volume. And if you can access a supplier, they come in a range of colours for a decent price.

You apply advantage from the original kick's encroachment, leading to the handball for which there is no advantage available. Award the DFK for the handball, and give the caution for the encroachment. The entire point of advantage is that players don't get away with the sanctions for committing...

In the context of the post you were replying to, saying that contact during this challenge which ITOOTR is CREF is a DFK, implies that contact which is not CREF is not a DFK, just the IFK for making the challenge. However, since the challenge is the offence, and an offence with contact is DFK...

If an offence involves contact at all, "it is penalised by a direct free kick", per Law 12 Section 1.

No. Law is clear, the goalkeeper is in control of the ball with the hand and an opponent may not challenge for it. Sanction is an IFK for the goalkeeper's team.

Not "could", "should". There's simply no place for using such descriptors as insults or in a derogatory way.

Anything that an AAR can do, GLT and VAR together can do better. Even without VAR, the usefulness of AARs is... not sufficiently evidenced. It might have made sense to keep them when GLT was first coming in (I'm entirely unconvinced that they do anything useful, if an AR is doing their job...

I took two years out of all sport - work hours didn't match and there was a lot happening in general. Moved cities and decided to attend a pre-season briefing before getting back into it. First appointments were at the top local level, which is largely equivalent to the top regional teams. The...

I'm not asking what the best process is - that should be obvious - make the substitution unambiguous and then allow play to be restarted. I'm asking whether it is believed this would be a(n in)correct decision, and where the decision is justified, in LOTG. Especially since the choice has impacts...

Taking a throw-in can be done with one or both feet on the touchline. If a player has not yet released the ball, have they made the throw-in? If no, then stepping into the line as part of the throwing action would be entering the field - if yes, when does "taking the throw-in" start from?

Only takes four incidents of six minutes each, plus reasonable regular stoppage to get the total. Does make one wonder what those four(?) incidents would have been.

This isn't an issue with VAR, it's an issue with individual NFAs deciding that they know better than the lawmakers and continuing to do what they always have, even though the changes were made specifically because what was being done wasn't correct or consistent. Video review systems work when...

DFK but no caution seems right, for exactly that reason, in this case. Generally it would depend on whether there were any other attackers that may have got to the ball if the P(s)IOP had avoided involvement, but that doesn't seem likely if the ball was being sent straight at a PIOP.

It's necessarily implies by the fact that you will play on for any length of time. How are you going to know that a player lying facedown on the ground is not unconscious, unless and until you've stopped play to go check? We don't abandon games because of the risk of a broken leg, but we sure...

The symptoms of confusion include those things. There's no "can" needed. Likewise the symptoms of a broken bone include said bone sticking out of the skin - doesn't mean every broke bone will end up like that

Totally fine to be using a digital system if you're the 4O. When you're in the field, do it with a pen or pencil. You don't have to think so much, and you can recover from writing or an interruption more easily.

No penalty there at all. Ball is out of control, there's minimal contact (edit: and I believe there's actually no contact at all, so my other comments should be even more emphasised), then the player exaggerates, and his teammate is already taking possession. I'd actually want to see a caution...

Symptoms of concussion include loss of consciousness and vomiting (along with a head knock, those two things are pretty much enough to diagnose it pending later confirmation of other symptoms). Someone who vomits while unconscious is just about the biggest safety risk that doesn't involve...

Meets exactly the description of "violent conduct" in LOTG. Dismissal is justified. That said, I'd also like the spectator removed. What does the guy expect when he plays keepaway with a match ball? No thanks, not at my field.

If they have deemed the "nasty remark" to be dissent, then it is a caution, and the yellow card shown a second time. Then the player is dismissed for a second caution, and is shown the red card. If they have deemed the remark to be offensive or insulting or abusive, then it is a dismissal, and...
