I got this one wrong in the LOTG quiz for February. I agree with a previous comment that if anything it should be for delay the restart without further context in the scenario...

I called penalty in real time, I think on review it was a penalty and yellow card.

Maybe he deserved it. I would respectfully disagree with it being deemed as ‘challenging for the ball’. from the defenders position has he any possibility of making contact with the ball, not even close.

DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY (DOGSO) Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an...

I personally think it was a red card and a penalty. Once the penalty was given, as per law 12 if there isn’t a possibly to play the ball it should be a red card. I can see why a caution came out but would expect VAR to intervene?

It’s only at Warwick and the 3 dates were offered (with at least one being fully booked). 29/30th of June and 1 in July the 7th.

I was an assistant referee in a junior cup final many years ago and the striker went through one on one at approx a 45 degree angle (corner of the box) with the goalkeeper and shot, the result shot went directly in the goal and bounced out off the diagonal bar between the post and back support...

Level 4 confirmed :)

So I would agree I was incorrect to use the word requirement but I stand by my decision of a caution for this example along with the vast majority for this scenario. Yes the 4 considerations won’t cover every scenario but I would argue when the ones they don’t cover it would be in a vast...

The threshold being met for all four criteria in the opinion of the referee is the requirement. We know there is no defined distance / number of defenders but we are trained to make these judgements.

The 4 criteria must be considered and if either of those don’t meet the threshold then a DOGSO isn’t penalized. So effectively the considerations are requirements.

The wording in the laws of the game say ‘the following MUST be considered’ therefore these considerations are used to make up my decision. As for the actual handball offense he’s actually in the opponents half of the field. The last few seconds of the clip shows the ball is curling away from...

Easy, it’s a caution. Red would be rescinded and you’d get a low mark of the observer! But yeh doesn’t meet requirements for dogso

Even worse up north, AR £30 and L4 £40 plus 40ppm expenses.

I wouldn’t play advantage for SFP unless it was in the box about to score… Do we all think in the above clip it is SFP or just reckless? I think the referee thinks it’s a reckless tackle initially….

From a match control view I would suggest you give a loud whistle and say ‘let’s go fellas’ . While standing on the free kick. Once they move back to position move into your position while telling kick taker on my whistle pal.

Then this would be a back pass and a IFK awarded.

For me it’s a clear penalty, you can’t make a high studs showing challenge into the front of the attacker. He’s caught him high up on the shin. As a minimum I’d be going reckless. I must admit it’s did take the replays for me to come to this conclusion.

I answered this incorrectly in the quiz. I don’t agree with the correct answer and it doesn’t state how long of the half time interval has lapsed. The things that stand out to me is that it should be two equal half’s and half time interval should not exceed 15 minutes. The correct answer in...

For me it’s not at the threshold for SFP, I’d go with reckless. The referee made a decent recovery sprint but didn’t get any angle on it.
