Aah, Chessington & Hook. I remember them well, I did a number of games there before moving north. Relax and enjoy it 🙂

Hi @nathan.ffc, welcome to the site. The answer is within Law 11. If the second attacker (the one who scores) is behind the ball when it is played by their teammate, they are not in an offside position.

@Phonesurgeon Sorry to hear of your experience, it shouldn’t happen and simply isn’t acceptable. I would also commend you on the restraint that you have demonstrated during the game. I would however suggest that you should have called the referee over immediately. They can then initiate the...

No, not as far as I can see. Whilst we’re responsible for ensuring the application of the laws, Law 4 will now specifically removes the responsibility for judgement of of size/suitability of shin pads from the referee. As long as the player has some, that’s it for us officially from next season.

Correct, unless of course the act by which they interfere is also a sanctionable offence in its own right. So if it’s a straight forward enter FOP and interfere by the sub then a caution. Anything further in the act of interfering and further sanction also, so yellow for entering FOP and: 2nd...

From the clip I’m struggling to see an offence even if the player indicated is in an offside position as the defenders close to him never have the opportunity to play the ball, therefore cannot see how they commit any of the possible interfering with an opponent criteria.

In a word, no. Sin bins can only be used for sanctioning dissent so you were correct to go red card as you’ve identified an act of violent conduct.

That’s enough folks. Quite frankly I (and the other staff) don’t have the time nor inclination to continually pick up and deal with behaviour befitting toddlers who need a good sleep.

Merry Christmas everyone

Make sure you keep your original notes etc as they’ll be needed for any potential hearing Well done on following the process thoroughly and correctly

Should be inside 2 working days, but you won’t be able to without engaging with your RDO so even if you can’t do it due to the WGS system not allowing you to, you’ll cover yourself as the CFA will then know about it

Speak to your RDO

Indeed but that was due to the Newcastle players moving forward just before the kick was taken rather than the attackers moving closer

Yep. All that is important is where the goalkeeper releases the ball from their hand(s). Providing this is within the penalty area (which includes the line of the area) then they can kick it from wherever they like.

@Rob123 I think it would certainly be worthy of an appeal. For any observer to mark either above expected or major development, appropriate timed examples must be included. The observer has therefore failed to correctly follow mandatory guidance in compiling the report.

It’s no different to U12s, in that it’s 9 a-side with offside.
