Maybe that's my issue 😂

I agree with all of this, except I would add a single caveat, which is bolded above. This is an area wherein you can manage and facilitate the speed of the restart and you can determine what is a reasonable amount of time. The match being close and the losing side wanting to restart very quick...

If it has crossed both boundary lines at the same time, what is the restart?

Of course it's off the field of play, and I've already said as much. But that doesn't change the fact that the ball has not wholly crossed either of the boundary lines.

the point of the extension is that it shows that the ball has neither actually crossed the goal line nor the touchline, but has partially crossed both so that it is off the F.o.P.

I would handle it thus: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx8nkVEvU-YMT5o4AU5UWi7QZosy13divU?si=h2K0QJ38s5knzzYy

It's insane, isn't it? Players are expected to take absolutely no responsibility for their actions because "it's an emotional game."

Practically, I don't see how this could happen since, as @Big Cat already said, the corner flag prevents this from happening. But it is an interesting academic exercise. The ball hasn't crossed either line entirely, but has crossed both lines partially in such a way as to make the ball go off...

Would they not at least file a report?

Absolutely. We are one of the last provinces in Canada to operate a Referees' Association outside of the Provincial FA which, hitherto, has been responsible for all referee development, training, assigning, administration etc. Basically the FA doesn't touch refereeing and we elect our own...

I've given the justification several times throughout the thread. We can agree to disagree.

Although we should be sensitive to the temperature of the match, we should not artificially change decisions simply to avoid a temperature increase. From my experience, it is rare that giving a red card for a nailed-on red-card offense increases the temperature after the game restarts. There...

One of the critical considerations for SPA is possession.

It is not incorrect in Law.

Re-read the conversation. I was answering a question about what I would give a caution for if I were to give a caution. I said if I wanted to caution this foul, then I would do it for UB-reckless. The reason I would give is that the foul was neither SPA nor USB, but because it is a foul far off...

In my local association, we are in the process of rocking the boat. It's been fun.

It's possible, but it's important to leave a paper trail so that should it happen again in the future, the Magistrate will have it all documented before him.

Well you could laugh all you want, but the truth is that it is a supportable decision and you can hardly dock points for it. What would you be docking points for? Yes. They're not different interpretations, they're different situations. The Akanji situation is SPA (because it denies the...

Glad you're ok and have handled this well. Just to let you know, spitting on someone is battery and criminal charges would not be amiss here. Of course, it's up to you.

What is the necessary use of force in this situation? By definition, any force is really excessive, isn't it?
