At a number of our higher level fields, we don't have sufficient space behind the ARs for this. Instead, we allow them beyond the goal line, but only as far as the edge of the penalty area (typically about a 15m distance where they can warm up) The problem with putting them behind AR1 on the...

I go simple, like @one -- "ugly but legal".

Contact your local FA or County FA Referee "coordinator" (can't remember the standard title over there). Ask them for assistance.

And if the referee determines that he's "(deliberately)" missed his kick... then the referee can now intervene and still penalize. How do we determine if it's deliberate? We're not completely stupid and we have football sense (well, most of us do at least....)

A great example of this is the Brych signals in the Nacho (Real Madrid) send off a few weeks back. Yellow, kick motion, yellow, push motion, red. Was anyone uncertain that this was 2Y->R and what offence each was for? Hells no.

There is also (currently) no point in stopping at position 2 if all of the players are much further up the field -- the players will have to run about as far as you.

That's a deliberate play. The defender (blue) pokes his toe out and plays that ball.

Robbie Mustoe (from NBC) apparently talked with PGMOL and they stated that it should've been called a foul throw. Here's an image of the location of feet...

US Ref. 1998 World Cup. FIFA TV did a nice little interview thing with him a couple of years ago (amusingly, this is the second tie in two days that I've discussed this video... heh). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-lNODXuA6k

They aren't simultaneous... They're very sequential. Trip by Blue, Advantage to Red, Kick out by Red. The kick out was a foul committed by the Red team during their advantage, so "cancels" out the advantage and becomes a new offence to give the free kick for.

It's practical refereeing. Nip it in the bud fairly early with a verbal and a warning and get the players on your side. It works really well in this situation because the opposing team isn't making much effort to take the kick really quickly, so the referee is able to intervene and move the...

It got Geo-Blocked because the A-League chose to release it worldwide instead. Their Facebook version seems to be freely available worldwide: Edit: This seems to be a duplicate link to the above which I just noticed, my apologies...

That's the warning, essentially telling him that if he does that again, it will be an easy yellow.

Likely neither. Definitely not DOGSO if the defender played it with a legal part of the body. I say likely neither because the Laws allow for a quick free kick to be taken, not requiring (or allowing the time for) the defender to give distance, but they also state that if that ball is...

England is doing VAR with only minimal OFR by the referee at this point in time.

Everything about our job is sales. Everything.

Practical refereeing. We've discussed it here before, sadly, we'll have to discuss it again I'm sure. 7-0? If they haven't scored the 8th by the 90 minute mark, too bad.

They want the kick to be retaken, after a caution is shown to the kicker. The new wording makes this clear(er than before).

I fully agree on the UEFA bit, and I will note that both CSA and USSF are pushing the same interpretation as PRO. Now, whether that's because PRO is leading that interpretation or not, I have no idea.

What's most interesting about this is that PRO teaches one way and UEFA teaches the opposite... PRO teaches that "a player is not allowed to deliberately play the ball with his hands/arms so it cannot be considered for a deliberate play when dealing with offside." UEFA's interpretation is that...
