Thanks for all the help thinking this through....I guess one of the issues I was having was linking the advantage section with the USB section. The advantage sections says... If the referee plays the advantage for an offence for which a caution/sending-off would have been issued had play been...

Thank you, but let's say I did not play advantage, then it would have been DOGSO and it would have been a YC and a PK, not a RC as in IFAB's response. So IFAB's response was about the advantage being the reason to downgrade the RC to a YC, but in my case, the offense would have been a YC since a...

But, because a goal was scored, wouldn't we ignore DOGSO as a criteria and just look at it as a "common" foul that we played advantage for?

I had an attacker 1 on 1 with the keeper. The keeper comes flying out and fouls the attacker/wipes her out going for the ball. I'm like OK. What did I just see? What am I going to do? All of a sudden I see the ball trickle into the goal. I award the goal and no sanction. Not a peep from coaches...

Great advice. Thanks.

I found some clips on deliberate play. https://red.fifa.com/play/collection/13010/Law11-Offside:deliberateplayanddeflection?cId=54575&itemId=12995

Thank you. This is exactly what I'm seeing and I think all VAR was worried about was whether or not it was a deliberate play or not by white...and as you stated...it didn't even matter.

Hello, This was from a women's college quarterfinal match. Penn State University in Blue. University of North Carolina in white. The final decision was offside. What do you guys think? It seems like most of the chatter was about whether or not the white team player's touch was a deliberate...

Thanks. That's exactly where I was going with that. I figured the hand gesture must be considered more offensive since everyone/anyone can see it. I'm guessing if they were just running up field and were going back and forth between themselves and one said FU, maybe a warning to knock it off at...

If you heard a player at this level SAY "F*** You" to another player, would you red card them?

This is very interesting. I can see that these are two separate ideas, but what could the LOTG intended "control" to mean then? Is there a better word that they could have used to make this clearer? or should we all think of it as @lawriejones edited it to be?

Thanks I appreciate the responses.

I'm not sure how you guys get assigned games for youth matches, but for me in the Washington DC area, assignors post their matches on a website/app and we can review them and request specific matches. There are several end of season tournaments in my area this weekend so assignors are desperate...

So just to clarify, Red taking goal kick. Blue player is leaving the penalty area but Red goal keeper plays the ball to teammate inside the penalty area before Blue player had time to leave the penalty area. Blue player can turn and challenge the red player inside the penalty area. If Blue...

So this was the question on my recertification that I got wrong....If an opponent did not have time to leave the penalty area at the taking of a goal kick, can the opponent play, touch, or challenge for the ball? I answered "Yes". It sounds like you all are agreeing with me. But I got it wrong...

Hello, 16.2 states: If, when a goal kick is taken, any opponents are inside the penalty area because they did not have time to leave, the referee allows play to continue. If an opponent who is in the penalty area when the goal kick is taken, or enters the penalty area before the ball is in...

I see these young girls wanting to play while wearing earrings all the time. Most of the time they try covering them with Band-Aids...and I still don't let them play. But, one time, I didn't allow a girl to play and one of the referees that I was with told me a story that he didn't allow a girl...

Same. Thanks for clarifying.

Sorry, I'm not quite clear. You all don't speak directly to the players during safety check?

If the attacker scored, you would play advantage and allow the goal and you would still give YC for USB, correct? If the attacker didn't score (as in this case), no advantage materialized, so you bring it back and give the IDFK, but that leads to the question...was an opportunity denied? Thanks.
