First post here; thought I would find out what you all think about this. Every so often, I am met with screams of “You can’t say leave it!” Whether I hear it or not. As far as I know, it could be punishable by an indirect free kick, but I don’t really know if that is a credible result. What...

...own team. So not an offence, goal stands. Then I heard the team discuss amoungst themselves, "ref doesn't know the law, leave it isn't allowed". So my question is, if there is a big clump of players, and you clearly hear "leave it" then the ball is rifled into the net. Do you chop the...

A lot of debate going on at the moment over if shouting leave it or mine should result in a free kick and when. I coached a team recently and every time a player said one of these phrases the referee blew up and awarded a IDFK. Now I can’t see anywhere in IFAB’s stating this is the case.. the...

Morning all .. Had a fairly non-descript game on Sat , White v Blue with White 2-1 up going into last 2 mins. Only one YC in game. Bit of a melee on the edge of Blue box, with the ball bouncing around on a hard dusty pitch. From the melee i could hear 'mine' being said , however could not...

Where do you stand when a player shouts "leave it"? I have referee'd a few matches recently where a player has shouted to another member of his own team to leave the ball. I see this as giving an instruction and it would only be unsporting behaviour if it is said with the intention of putting...

During my lads match today a close fought game with us leading 5-4 they had a corner when ball crossed in supposedly one of our defenders shouted leave it has he went for the ball the ref blew up and gave a penalty for it (the ref was from there team) is this a correct descision

...we saw an apparent act of Verbal distraction go unpunished in the premier league. The incident - Arter of Bournemouth seemingly shouting "leave it" to Chalobah of Watford as he was lining up a shot. This is a real grey area for fans and players to understand and apparently some referees as...

Afternoon Refs, I was nearly nutted for my take on this law – and having conferred with multiple referees on the matter, I just wanted to get everyone elses buy in. If im right, how do you handle the explanation/delivery of the rule… If im wrong, can someone outline the law im breaking, as I...

Hey guys. I'll set the scene. Relatively quiet game. I give handball (in my opinion was hand to ball and intentional) and player 1 (not player who gave away the foul) shouts oh ref! Really! So you can't protect yourself? This was not even in a wall just ball about 30 yards out. Anywho. He was...

Had this in my adult game yesterday. trying to tell grown men its not a foul unless it distracts an opponent was met with confused looks, main culprit received a caution which he looked bemused about

...of two Orange attackers on the edge of the area - no defender within about ten yards of them (marking was shoddy). One tells his mate to "leave it" or words to that effect, he does so and his mate proceeds to ping one into the bottom corner. Cue the Whites gathering in my face demanding that...

Does anyone know if there is a clear and definite rule with regards to players shouting out things such as my ball and leave it etc? I had a game today where the keeper a few times would say "leave it keepers ball" and he said "leave it Chris ball"which is his name. Is that allowed or not. The...

...muster a weak shot on goal that goes straight to keeper. Away defender asking why I haven't stopped play, he's saying away attacker said "leave it" as the ball came in. Once he tells me I know that I think I did hear it. I just let play carry on however, what does the LOTG state on players...

...this argument with my brother today (plays for a League 1 Academy) and he was adamant that every time a player shouts "mine" "my ball" "leave it" that it is a IDFK. Now, I hear players and coaches appealing for it all the time, but I have never come across a referee giving it / any mention...

In my first game the ball came across the penalty area for a cross and a player shouted 'leave it' then the ball got kick up field. When i started running up field the manager said to me he can't shout that. I just continued play because i was not sure Please can i have you views on this match...
