They're published on the IFAB website. If you want to ask why things are circulated all the way down, why not ask your ref secretary or your local FA?

Other than the defender needing a caution for the "trickery"... spot on. Now, if this was a goal kick by the GK and this happened? Just retake the goal kick.

Was a ref in these parts that used to revel in giving a card for that. Even under the older laws, that wasn't a card. Who is it denying possession to? His own team (maybe)? The other team as a throw-in? Just blow the whistle, give the free kick, and laugh it off.

If a penalty, it's an attempt to play, so not red, but yellow.

I have been both. My coaches/etc as I was growing up playing semi-seriously were always all about "if the GK gets sent off, get the wall in approximately the right place while we're getting the new one in." It's a good tactic so that the incoming GK only has to tweak the wall. In this...

As @RustyRef said, it was #2 from Norwich, Aarons. He encroached and interfered (he was the one who cleared the rebound). That's the line that was drawn in the sand last year. I'm shocked that you haven't kept up with this stuff.

This didn't happen. He backed away, then blew the whistle. And this was AFTER the GK came in from his sub, jogged to his goal area, put his stuff down, and then the 15-20s of setting the wall up began. Why isn't that wall more or less set up already? What have the defenders been doing all...

Perfectly within his rights here. Not the greatest of optics, but the GK came on after the substitution, moved to his position on the field, then spent 15-20s standing at his post barking orders. How long is he just going to leave him there doing that?

There's never been such protection for anything OTHER than a goalkeeper handling the ball within their own penalty area (ie, ball deliberately kicked to them, throw-in by teammate to them, releasing from possession and handling again, etc). This is a retake plain and simply because it was never...

How is this a talking point AT ALL? This is something that happens all the time. Players looks, believe that they're offside and let the play go. If you want to talk about this crap in a fannish way, please, go find a Man City fan site.

A punishable handball for a shot on goal is a yellow card. It’s always a yellow card in UEFA. It’s supposed to always be a yellow card everywhere. This was a shot on goal. Now, whether or not it was handball? That's another question. There's also the question as to whether Pusilic tripped...

Honestly, for the rest of the world, what the Laws now say is (other than the handball leading to goal scoring opportunity) what we've been doing for 2-3 years. England has, like VAR, chosen to go their own way on handball for some unknown reason.

If you whistle for that handball, the shot was (more or less) on goal, so therefore, it's a caution classed under Stopping a Promising Attack.

No. The ends don't dictate the misconduct. Merely the action.

VAR can't inform the referee of an offence by the attacking to give the DFK out... they could have if the referee had called the penalty there. Looking at the video, the clips REALLY focus on the handball aspect (which, yes, this is definitely, and no question one), but there's very little...

Often that's the warmup area because there's nowhere else on the pitch that players can warm up.

Really, depends on context. If the player stops a promising attack and then gets up and punches someone, I'm not going to escalate the situation by showing that caution first. Straight to sending off. Once the player is removed, I'm then going to inform the team official that the player also...

I suspect that it's like the handball changes. Waiting to get things settled and proven to be "good enough", then rewrite the Law to match the taught interpretations.

That's how it's being applied almost everywhere around the world at the professional level, and a large number of places at the non-professional level. Not just a Mike Riley/PGMOL thing, so feel free to take your vitriol elsewhere on that one.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something?" If they respond and dissent, well, that's easy. :)
