Yes that is indeed useful!

Thanks Rusty. As an aside I find some terminology confusing and 'back to front' although I'm slowly getting used to it! For instance 'offside is reset' Is there a reason refs don't just say' not offside' and 'offside' :confused:

I am/was one of those dads! It is amazing how much it has changed over the years and unless you have to apply the law it is easy to fall back on 'this is how it isms'

IMO it is really poorly worded which is why it is hard to understand. It's written in 'double negative speak' when I'm sure there is an easier way to explain it....though I'm sure many have tried..and failed!

Thanks Mark. Useful too. Intention is king. Resets offside means is not offside and does not reset offside means is offside then in layman terms. Everyday is a school day

Thanks for that detailed reply. Will need to read it a few times to sink in. Lots of jargon I need to get used to but I suppose I will !

Hi. I am a brand new ref. Not even stepped foot out there yet and will be hiding away in Youth football to start. I had no idea some of the LOTG were written in code and I like to have an easy way of remembering things if at all possible! I cannot get my head around a player receiving the...

Hi everyone. Thought this might be a good idea to get out of being an assistant referee each week for my U13 son in youth football! However, I now have the dread that most of you had at whatever age I guess. I'm still brushing up on the laws before my first game and wondered whether there is a...
