    Fifa to take VAR off ifab?

    This was released a week or so ago. Circular 1721. https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/1721-transfer-of-var-related-matters-from-the-ifab-to-fifa.pdf?cloudid=ruv2tskjfqwxlxbbl3ew

    Man U v Bournemouth

    By the time contact is made, the force is extremely low. Point of contact is really bad, but the force is lacking, so... yellow.

    Fleetwood v Wycombe

    If by "assistant" you mean directly at the referee... then yes, that's essentially what happened. I cannot attest to the final word, as the sound on the live feed here cut out at "you cheat..." :)

    Man City vs Chelsea

    UEFA was pushing that from the 19/20 Laws. IFAB brought the Laws in line to match the majority implementation.

    Lei Bri

    No. Only a goal kick (or free kick) and the GK takes a poor kick and then plays it again BEFORE any other player to stop an opponent from having a chance on goal. Previously if the goalkeeper did this with anything but their hands/arms, this was a sanctionable offence, just the same as a...

    Amendments to Futsal LOTG 2020/21

    The majority of the changes bring futsal further in line with changes that IFAB has made to the football laws since 2016, especially around the handball language cleanup, cards for coaches, kickoff, etc. There are a few very futsal specific things, and for a couple of them (especially DOGSO)...

    CONCACAF Centre for Refereeing Excellence Video

    SPA, correct. DOGSO, still caution if you play advantage and the goal is scored. (pg 107 in the 19/20 LotG)

    CONCACAF Centre for Refereeing Excellence Video

    I'm REALLY not seeing where you're getting half of this from here... here's an image of the point of contact. No boots. Not chest. Not excessive force. GK IS controlling his actions and pulling out of the challenge when he realizes that he cannot get the ball. SFP? Never. DOGSO? Likely. SPA...

    FIFA Referees Fitness Test

    When you're doing it, you can't go through the gates before the cue. Running the main portion of the HI test is endurance, not "smashing it out of the park". Figure out the cadence/speed you need for both the run and walk, get used to it. A friend of mine regularly trains to do an extra 4-6...

    Everton Brighton

    VAR can be used to give cautions if they're seen while using OFR to review something else. So, for example above (which is what happened in the Portugal game), an incident is missed by the ref (or called a simple foul). VAR looks at it and thinks that it's a possible RC (violent conduct or SFP)...

    Everton Brighton

    Only if it's deemed to be deliberate handling. There was one a couple of years ago where a defender cleared a ball, it hit an attacker's hand from about a metre (3 feet) away just off the side of his body (so not deliberate in any reading of the Law now or five years ago) and went directly into...

    Everton Brighton

    I can't see the video, but if what you describe is correct and the handball was accidental but led to a goal scoring opportunity or a goal, the caution is not correct. If the handball was deemed to be deliberate and led directly to the goal, then yes, the caution is correct. The caution is NOT...

    Melbourne City vs Western Utd penalty & RC

    Easy DOGSO call here. If that ball isn't handled by the trailing arm (not supporting), that ball is going straight to the teammate who will be one v one with the GK. There's also a second free attacker a few metres beside him, and the closest defender is trailing by 5-7m. If that's not an...

    Circumventing the law

    If it happened on a goal kick, right now, it's just a retake. If it happened at any other time, it's an IFK AND a YC.
