... depends on the definition of "direct" ... in the examples below - some may see the 2nd example as "direct" too as it hasn't touched anyone else first (only) touch - yep - no goal if a player takes 1-2 touches before banging it in the net - goal

Touch wood I've never had a problem here ... I do 'cheat' a little bit though in case I ever do have a problem ... LOTG (page 83) demands a whistle is needed to re-start play following a sub, injury ... if ever someone did score from a drop-ball re-start (deliberately or sliced!) - or gained a...

I won't allow a throw-in to be taken from behind a barrier - even if it enters the FOP exactly where it left it For me - the ball being delivered over the barrier means it won't have come directly onto the FOP As with throws down the line that don't make it onto the FOP before bouncing - it's...

... I will certainly look to use the GK in the first instance - if they don't play ball - as with any other (outfield) player who is captain - then I'm perfectly happy to deal directly with the player who needs calming down on my own You're right @Cheshire Ref - need to find what works for each...

I've been advised if the GK is the captain then you have to use the GK - no one else - one point of contact only Yes, logistically this can be a pain - but - it can be also be used to your advantage - especially if as part of the stepped approach - you want to take time out of the game...

+1 @ASM Of the examples distributed to refs - I think the attached from IFAB is the nearest example and confirms response from @ASM

@deusex - page 83 ... I'll confess to not using the whistle after EVERY sub - I had 34 rolling subs on Sunday (over 2 games) - ran out of puff !!

Agree with @Alex Rush-Fear There's no offside offence - the player who receives the ball from the IDFK is 4 yards behind the ball when it is played to him

@Alex Rush-Fear - just to make sure I'm on the same (right!) page as you wrt Law Breaching 6 seconds doesn't need to be a caution Referee needs to blow the whistle prior to re-start following a caution Please shout if I'm missing something else !!

Thought the AR could have run down to the corner flag a bit quicker ;)

:) Unfortunately we probably all know refs who wouldn't have bothered ! As a related question - are we allowed to send Leagues our misconduct reports ? ... I was once told never to do this - County will tell the Leagues not us

My caution's name yesterday wasn't on Whole Game - had no reason to derive that it was made up - just used the "other" option at the bottom of the list of names and put it in ... that's all we need to do Remember that some Leagues will also allow "on the day signings" - something that we...

+1 for @Mewcenary routine

Done :)

The only possible reason I may hesitate on a drinks break - especially 2nd half - is if it somehow gives one team a tactical advantage ... a team that is losing but building momentum would perhaps not want one - whereas the other team under a bit of pressure would be looking for one ... would...

I got one last year from Essex as a 3rd season 40-something L6

Well done chaps :)

It's got to be in play at some point - and in this example - the player(s) are deciding for themselves when it is in play It's such a grey area ... If the 2nd player had decided to then pick the ball up and set it down again (e.g. for a left-footed in-swinging corner) and then booted it into...
