Goal. Can't find the exact location in the LotG, but it is indeed a goal if an indirect free kick is touched by a second player (attacking/defending/ and enters the goal.

I can see VAR in my 2017/18 edition. Ah can see it's only mentioning a very top line 'this is being tested' etc

Here's a link http://theifab.com/document/for-football-bodies (choose the second one down) which contains the law modifications for next season. A fair number of them. VAR was included in the LOTG book from 2017/18 as far as I remember

I received a copy when completing my course, I assumed this was standard but evidently maybe not. As JamesL mentioned, it's worth holding back on ordering one. There are a good number of modifications to the laws this year

Touche, Touche :redcard:

You both have correct points. On my higher level assistant matches, this is always discussed in the pre-match discussion. Track the second to last defender (to be picky you've mentioned tracking the last defender which is technically incorrect ;)) unless the ball has been played or ends up...

I'll assume it was this, what should've been a red card at 0:26, and a penalty at 1:45. Unfortunately it doesn't have the second VAR instance that one has mentioned.

Interesting to see a difference in requirements. I'm on month 5 now and a few games into my promotion requirements for 6. Hoping to go the double to Level 5, but my line commitments may prevent me from hitting the 40 game mark.

Not at our CFA. A level 7 who qualifies in February can apply straight for promotion. Not the best way to do it, but no requirement from the previous season

What are we thinking on this one?

Some really good points in there that I've started using. I initially thought talking to yourself wouldn't make a difference, but after the last couple of lines I've run where I've used it I won't go back to not talking to myself. Some odd looks from the players/fans at some points but they get...

Thanks Ciley, that's the exact situation I was getting confused with.

Hi all, Had a game where I flagged for an offside, ref in the middle hasn't seen it so I've kept the flag up. Defending team then commit an offence, leading to a direct free kick, before the ref has seen my offside flag. My understanding is that in this case it should be a free kick, as the...

For me, this was the first match I've watched and I categorically thought this is not how you manage a game. The initial flurry of cards was harsh for both sides, and then completely inconsistent for the second half

Defending player even dropped the ball to where the original foul was, will definitely be allowing that one
