When a goal is scored just before full time. Can the referee then blow the full time whistle or should he wait for the restart to be taken before blowing for the full time whistle? It doesn't make any sense to wait for the restart just to blow as soon as the re-start kick is taken, but is there...

What about actions like kicking the ball away. This is also regarded as dissent. So would this be a sin bin?

So apart from when there is abuse, swearing or gestures directed towards the referee, is their anything else which can be penalized with a sin bin?

Hi. I wanted to ask if you can give a sin bin for a player swearing or using foul gestures or signals to the opposing team during a game? Or would you just give a normal yellow card?

Thanks for that. Got it. Makes sense according to the law. However, practically I've seen so many times when a player dives trying to win a free kick, the referee does not give the foul and allows the team of the offended player to continue playing on. Whereas by law like you said it should have...

Hello guys. If there is a simulation by a player, but then after the simulation his team mate retrieves the ball and has an opportunity to score. Should you allow the attack to continue and then book the player for simulation when the play stops OR do you stop play immediately after the...

Lol bus shelter. Yeah I would think so, but why or how does this become a concern? Like what's the logic behind this?

Law 1 - Technical area - states that only one person at a time is allowed to authorise tactical instructions from the technical area? Is there any particular reason for this? Anyone know?

I don’t think VAR got it wrong. The referee got it wrong because he makes the final call. The VAR is there to assist the referee and after looking at it he should have stuck with his original decision. Not offside!

Never under any circumstances was that offside. It is not an offence to be in an offside position it is only an offence if he plays the ball or interferes by stopping the opponent from playing the ball. In no way has this been done. The goalkeeper De Gea should understand this law and move...

Hi guys. I was just wondering once you do the FA Level 1 in coaching how long does this certificate last? i.e by when do you need t do the FA Level 2 Course? Any help would be appreciated.

Good response. That's what I was thinking, I had a feeling teams do this deliberately. I mentioned this dynamic piece of play by teams (of staying within the offside laws but causing confusion in the defence) to a mate and he thought nahh and that I was overthinking it, but I really see teams...

The law states interfering with play by playing or touching a ball. It doesn't say anything about interfering by movement.

Yes, after reading the law in more detail. Your initial response seems correct. It's when the player touches the ball. The law needs changing because this loophole can be exploited. I.e a player can stand in an offside position while the ball is being played to him angling across and then...

Yes, but surely the player can't be running towards the ball and then stop and allow his teammate to take over (once he has realised he is offside). Because the initial movement towards the ball means he is active doesn't it, i.e because of the movement he defenders would stop tracking back once...

If a player is offside and chasing the ball down but has not yet touched it. Is he offside? I've seen it so many times on TV a player is clearly a few yards offside and is clearly chasing the ball. The linesman doesn't raise his flag until the player touches the ball. So I've been questioning...

That's fine but the attacker has not changed direction or challenged to make a block, so according to the laws of the game what should you do? I'm looking for an explanation through evidence in the laws.

Not run across him because that would be impeding I'd say. More like attacker runs from behind in a straight line and the goalkeeper kicks the ball and the ball hits the attacker at which point he is only 2 yards away from where goalkeeper kicked it. Would this be an infringement or does play...

The goalkeeper has the ball in his hands and releases the ball out of his hands into the air and kicks it. The ball hits the opposing player who is running from behind but has not challenged the goalkeeper nor stopped him from releasing the ball in any way. Is the opposing player guilty or is...

Yes, I think you're right but just seems a bit unfair doesn't it. The least you'd expect is for the attacking team to have the ball back since they had control and last touched the ball.
