Thank you!

So let's say that attacker centered the ball and crossed the goal line just as you stated, and then immediately stepped back in and got up the field a few yards and everything else happened just as you said after he got back up field....it would still be a goal because that player who went out...

Can you all provide some examples of what this all means or even explain in in simpler terms. This is very confusing to me. Do players leave the field of play without the referee's permission often? What are the practical implications of this. Thank you much! "A defending player who leaves the...

My question matches the topic but quite a bit different than what has been discussed. Recently, I had a situation where the ball crossed the goal line and I didn't see clearly who touched it last. My AR gave me a blank stare. I signaled for a goal kick and the defender said..."I touched it...

Thank you. How did I not see this? 👍

Thank you, but how can it be stopping a promising attack if the action isn't a foul in the first place. This is like saying intercepting a through ball is stopping a promising attack, no? The opponent blocked the punt. He didn't foul the keeper. Thanks

So a GK was going to punt the ball. The opponent deliberately moves toward the keeper and jumps into the path of the punt and blocks the punt. The rebound goes backward and out of bounds. I could have sworn that this was an automatic yellow, but, after reviewing the Law 12, I don't see it...

Thank you. This is what I thought. You mentioned a rule change. Did the restart used to be the other way around? Meaning, the restart was where the player was located when his teammate played him the ball? If so, when did the rule change? Thanks

So just to be clear, the restart is NOT where the player was located (assuming in an offside position) when his teammate played him the ball, correct? It is where the player who was in an offside position plays the ball or interferes with, etc. (which is often where he touches the ball, which...

For me it's clear that they don't want this to be a handball (from the language and also the video that was shared on here a few months ago...was it months?). Anyway....I would not call a handball if the ball comes off the player's body (including foot) and hit an arm above the shoulder UNLESS...

For me, the confusion is that the exception is only added to the bullet point that says when the arm is ABOVE the shoulder. They did NOT add the exception to the bullet point of "unnaturally bigger".

I just received this week. To me, these slides do very little to clarify. https://static.ussdcc.com/users/1662046/576131/brief-summary-on-ifabs-handing-the-ball.pdf First, why not just add the exception to the fourth point in the fourth point instead of adding another slide. Does this...

If the mouthy parent doesn't leave, do you terminate the match or do you card the coach?

How were you able to post that video like that? Yesterday, I tried to post the other video on Law 12 but couldn't to I posted the link to the page. Thank you in advance.

This video is what I watch over and over again to understand the handball...https://vimeo.com/user90259529 There are Spanish and English videos on this page. English videos are below the Spanish ones. The are two videos for Law 12. The longer one covers handballs. It's about 5 minutes long...

Thanks. I see your points and I feel much better about the call now. It's been bothering me. Thanks again.

I recently had a situation where the attacker was clearly in an offside position and sprinting after a thru ball. The GK takes off to get to the ball first. The attacker gets to about 5 yards of the ball when the GK gets to the balls first and....he picks it up...outside the box. I was AR. I...

Thank you for this. Plenty to think about.

Can you elaborate on how that wasn't a deliberate play by the defender? In my opinion, he moves in to defend and, when the shot is taken, he deliberately turns his leg to block the shot, and it deflects into the goal. I appreciate it.

He sets up to defend, the shot is taken, he turns his leg, but doesn't get a clean block, and the ball deflects off his foot and into the goal. That doesn't count as playing the ball that negates offside offence? Thanks.
